YOUR AIR PURIFIER

HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

This model air purifier incorporates a 2-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

Stage 1: Activated Carbon Pre-filter traps larger particles and household odors*

Stage 2: HEPA Filter captures up to 99.97% of microscopic particles, as small as.3 microns*

*From the air that passes through the filter

SET-UP

• Select a firm, level and flat location on the floor at least 6 inches away from wall or furniture.
• When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent build-up of dust and other contaminants. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where candles are burned.
• Ensure the front of the unit faces away from the closest wall or furniture.
• Ensure no grilles are blocked.

INSTALLING THE TRUE HEPA FILTER AND ODOR REDUCING PRE-FILTER

The True HEPA Filter and Odor Reducing Pre-filter are supplied with your air purifier. They are wrapped to ensure purity and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter (Type True HEPA Filter and Type Odor Reducing Pre-filter).

• Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
• Turn the air purifier upside down on a flat surface. The filter is visible from the bottom of the unit (Fig. 2).
  
• Remove the True HEPA filter by grasping the filter from the finger notches. There are small molded tabs that secure the filter in place and prevent it from slipping out of the unit. Pull away from tabs and up to remove. When removing a used filter that is not wrapped in plastic, pull the red tab to remove.
• Remove the protective plastic wrap from the HEPA filter and prefilter.
• Install the pre-filter first by sliding it in behind the front grille of the air purifier and securing it in the molded slots.
• Install the True HEPA filter by sliding it in the opening on bottom of the air purifier. Ensure that the red tab is accessible for easy removal.

OPERATION

• Ensure the air purifier is plugged into a working electrical outlet
• Turn the Power Knob to desired setting
  (O = Off, III = High, II = Medium, I = Low)
  Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all the doors and windows are closed. It is recommended that you run your air purifier while you are at home to help clean the air.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CHECK REMINDER

This model has an electronic filter check to remind you when to check and replace your filters based on the air purifier's hours of use. A red LED will illuminate when it is time to check/replace your filters.

When the HEPA filter or pre-filter needs to be replaced, the light will remain on until it is RESET. You may unplug the air purifier without interrupting the filter check.

You should periodically check the filters depending on operating conditions, the TRUE HEPA filter should be replaced every 12 months and the pre-filter every 3 months.

When the filter check light remains on and solid, it is time to replace the Odor Reducing Pre-filter and reset the filter monitor. With the unit powered ON, press the FILTER RESET button next to the Check Filter LED and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the light turns off (Fig. 4).
