IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING THIS APPLIANCE

The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage

caused when the appliance is not used according to the instructions, or for uses other than those for which it was intended.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

•

Do not repair or modify the unit unless speciﬁcally recommended in this manual. All other repairs should be completed by a qualiﬁed technician.

•

The plug for this unit is polarized with one blade wider than the other. Do not force the plug into an electrical outlet.

• Do not alter the plug in any way. If the plug does not ﬁt into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed technician to install a proper outlet.

• Do not use if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the wall outlet is loose.

• Use AC 120V only.

• Do not damage, break, forcefully bend, pull, twist, bundle, coat, pinch, or place heavy objects on the power cord.

• Periodically remove dust from the power plug. This will reduce the chance that humidity will accumulate, which increases the risk of electric shock.

• If the power plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualiﬁed technician.

• Remove the power plug from the outlet before cleaning the unit. When removing the power plug, grasp by holding the plug itself, never hold by the cord.

• Remove the power plug from the outlet when the unit is not in use.

• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

• Do not operate the unit when using indoor smoke-generating insecticides.

• Do not clean unit with benzene or paint thinner. Do not spray insecticides on the unit.

• Do not use the unit where it is humid or where the unit may get wet, such as in a bathroom.

• Do not insert ﬁngers or foreign objects into the air intake or outlet.

• Do not use the unit near ﬂammable gases. Do not use near cigarettes, incense, or other spark-creating items.

• Unit will not remove carbon monoxide emitted from heating appliances or other sources.

• Do not block the intake or outlet vents.

• Do not use near hot objects, such as a stove. Do not use where the unit may come into contact with steam.

• Do not use the unit on its side.

• Keep away from products that generate oily residue, such as a deep fryer.

• Do not use detergent to clean the unit.

• Do not operate without a ﬁlter.

• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA Filter.

Description of the air cleaner

Five-stage Cleaning

Air undergoes five separate processes before returning,

freshened and cleaned, to the room.

Stage

1 Washable Anti-Bacterial Pre-Filter (#7)

This reusable filter collects large particles, pollen,

pet hair, lint, etc.

Stage

2 HEPA Filter (#6)

Captures 99.99% of particles and impurities as small

as .3 microns.

Stage

3 Nano-Silver Mesh (#4)

A shield of silver particles one billionth of a meter in

size neutralizes bacteria on contact.

Stage

4 Washable Carbon Filter (#4)

This reusable activated granular carbon effectively collects

chemical vapors and odors caused by cigarette smoke,

organic decay and cooking.

Stage

5 PlasmaWave (#1)

In the final stage of cleaning, PlasmaWave technology generates

both positive and negative ions to create plasma clusters which

instantly neutralize viruses, bacteria, chemical vapors and odors

in the air.

Operation Operation

Note: Follow these instructions for best results.

• Place unit at least 7 feet from equipment that

emits electric waves such as televisions or radios.

• Place unit at least 2 feet from the wall.

• Keep sensors away from drafty areas.

• Keep

curtains away from sensors, as they may

interfere with air intake/outlet.

• Place

unit on a stable surface with plenty of air

circulation.

To set-up cleaner:

• Remove protective film from the control panel.

• Remove

the front panel by grasping the bottom

outside edges and gently pulling toward you.

• Pull out the filter cassette by grasping the tabs

located on each side of the filter cassette.

• Remove the plastic wrap from the filter cassette.

• Return the filter cassette into the main unit.

• Replace

the front panel by hooking the front panel

on the top of the unit. Swing panel in by pushing

gently until the panel snaps into place.

• Plug in the power cord to a wall outlet.

• Press power button until short “beep” is heard.

Note: For the first 4 minutes after turning the unit

on, the dust and odor indicators will flash while

the unit measures air quality.

or 1 hour of operation; press the button

a second time for 4 hours; press a third

time for 8 hours. Pressing the TIMER

automatically sense the amount of

impurities in the air, and adjust the fan

speed accordingly.

. PlasmaWave Indicator - Turn on

the Plasma generator by pressing

the PLASMA ON/OFF button on the

remote. PlasmaWave generates both

positive and negative ions to produce

hydroxyl radicals that inactivate airborn

contaminants.

fan speed setting.

. Sleep - The unit will work on Ultra-Quiet

mode and dim the control panel lights.

room is light, the unit will revert to its

previous settings. Sleep mode provides

the lowest, quietest fan setting and a

dimmed display panel.
