This air cleaner includes a special odor absorbing pre-filter packed in the product box. In order to enjoy the benefits of enhanced odor reduction, replace the washable pre-filter that is already in the air cleaner with the odor absorbing pre-filter .
For optimal performance, the pre-filter is wrapped in plastic to keep it fresh. Pre-filter replacement timing will be approximately 3 months, depending on use.
You can purchase replacement pre-filters at your local Home Depot store or they can be ordered directly at www.HomeDepot.com. If you have any questions, contact Kaz Consumer Services at 1-800-477-0457.
NOTE: Please only use one pre-filter in your air cleaner at a time. You will need to choose whether you want to use the permanent washable pre-filter or the odor reducing pre-filter (will be discarded after use). Both are included with your air cleaner at the time of purchase.
This model air cleaner incorporates a 3-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).
Stage 1: Washable or Odor-reducing Pre-filter (your choice)
Stage 2: Permanent Washable ifD® Filter
Stage 3: Electronic Ionizer
It is recommended that you run your air purifier when you are at home to clean the air. The unit may be run 24 hours a day if preferred for continuous cleaning. This unit will be more effective when doors and windows are closed.
Tap this icon if you would like your air cleaner to run and then automatically shut-off after a certain amount of time (choose from between 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours). This is convenient if you would like your air cleaner to run during the night but then shut-off automatically in the morning (choose the 8 or 10 hour setting).
Your air cleaner will start off on the General Cleaning setting each time you turn your air cleaner on.
LEVEL 5 - MAX
Best for power cleaning the air when unpleasant odors are noticeable, your room is particularly dusty or you can sense that airborne particles are present. This setting cleans the air the fastest of all the settings and circulates the air frequently in a room.
LEVEL 4 - ALLERGEN
This setting makes the air cleaner perform at the proper level for reducing many types of airborne allergens. It ensures the allergen capturing efficiency and rate is best for the particle sizes being captured. Best for fighting airborne allergens during high allergen season, particularly in the spring and fall to help reduce airborne pollen. Also great for year-round reduction of pet dander allergens.
LEVEL 3 - GENERAL
Best for General Cleaning. Use this setting to help reduce airborne dust and smoke particles, like those from cooking or tobacco smoke.
LEVEL 2 - GERM
This setting slows down air movement so airborne microscopic germs are most effectively captured in the filter. Germs, like certain bacteria and viruses, can be much smaller than other airborne particles or organisms. Giving the germs more time to dwell in the filter increases the filtration efficiency. This setting can be used during cold and flu season to help reduce certain germs from the air that passes through the filter.
LEVEL 1 - SLEEP
Best for ultra quiet operation, perfect for nighttime use when sleeping.
Allows you to monitor how dirty your filter is getting. When it is time to check and clean the filter, an indicator will illuminate notifying you that it is time to check the filters. When this light comes on, you will need to clean your primary ifD® filter and clean or replace your pre-filter. (See Filter Cleaning instructions). After you have cleaned or replaced the filters, press the Check Filters Indicator until the light goes off.
Your air cleaner features a soft accent light at the bottom of the unit that provides a nice glow around the base. You can choose to operate your unit with or without this accent light turned on. If you want to use the light feature, you can choose from between a low or high light level.
Tap this icon if you want your air cleaner to gently rotate from side to side. This will help increase circulation in the room.
To help circulate fresher, cleaner air through the room, this unit has an oscillation feature. (Fig. 3)
This model features a touch screen that senses when your finger touches the panel.
Turn off the unit and wait 60 seconds before removing the grille to clean filters.
The ifD® filter is supplied within the air cleaner.
NOTE: If the odor reducing pre-filter is used in lieu of the permanent washable pre-filter, it will need to be replaced approximately every 3 months.
The ifD® filter should be cleaned approximately once every 3 months.
To clean the ifD® filter:
Rinsing:
Washing:
Drying:
The pre-filter helps pick up large airborne particles that enter the rear grille. This pre-filter can be periodically removed and shaken to clean it. Alternatively, it can be rinsed by hand under warm water (Fig. 10). Let the pre-filter air dry completely before inserting back into the grille (Fig. 11). If you need to replace this item, please call 1-800-477-0457 or visit www.kaz.com.
OPTIONAL: Changing the Odor Absorbing Pre-Filter
If you have chosen to use the odor absorbing purifier, it will lose its effectiveness for odor adsorption over time and will need to be replaced.
To purchase replacement pre-filters, they should be available at your local Home Depot store or they can be ordered directly from www.HomeDepot.com. If you have any questions, contact Kaz Consumer Services at 1-800-477-0457.
If using the odor absorbing pre-filter, it is recommended that you store the original washable pre-filter in the event that you decide to use it in the future.
To insert it into the unit, simply place securely into the rear grille in lieu of standard pre-filter as shown in figure 11.
NOTE: The odor absorbing pre-filter is not washable.
We recommend that you clean the air purifier at least once every 3 months and before extended storage. Use only a dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces of the air purifier. DO NOT USE WATER, WAX POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.

Odor Absorbing Pre-Filter : Model HRF-K2 (2 pack)
My filter bar says my filter is still relatively clean but when I checked my filter, it was really dirty.
In conditions where smoke, pets or air with a lot of contaminants are present it is possible that the filter could be dirty sooner than indicated on the indicator. The filter life indicator on your unit runs on a timer and if there are more particles in your air than in an average home, your filter could capture airborne particles sooner than indicated on the display. The indicator is intended to be used as a guideline and individual environmental conditions will vary.
My unit will not turn on.
The air cleaner has safety features to ensure that the unit is ready for operation. Check to make sure the filter is installed and is flush to the air cleaner. Check to make sure the rear grille is snapped into place. If your unit still won't turn on, contact Kaz Consumer Relations at 1-800-477-0457.
My Air Purifier is starting to make noise and the air output is less. What's wrong?
The filters may be dirty. High amounts of contaminates can block the pores in the filter and stop the air from moving through it. The filter and pre-filter should be cleaned.
How long should I run my Air Purifier?
It is recommended that you run your air purifier when you are at home to clean the air. The unit may be run 24 hours a day if preferred for continuous cleaning. This unit will be more effective when doors and windows are closed.
Can I wash my Odor Reducing Pre-filter?
No. Washing the odor reducing pre-filter will destroy it. You can, however, wash the sponge-like permanent pre-filter.
How does the electronic filter check work?
The filter check LED will illuminate when it is time to check the filters after 3 months of continuous operation of the air cleaner.
