easily removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.
Finally, using your ionizer may result in an occasional
popping or cracking sound. This is a normal sound,
generally caused by a small build-up of ions that, when
discharged, cause the popping or cracking sound.
NOTE: It is important to replace the HEPA-Type filter at
the recommended intervals.
Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result
in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted
to walls, carpets, furniture or other household objects.
These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove.
Homes with excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or
smoke may decrease the life expectancy of the
HEPA-Type filtration system and may interfere with the
ionization process. You may want to run the Ionizer less
often and check the condition of the HEPA-Type filter(s)
more frequently in order to reduce particles from being
attracted to surfaces throughout your home as
mentioned above.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm, level
place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet
or filtered air outlet. A good location in a room is
approximately 1 foot away from the wall, in a central
location of your home.
2. Pull air inlet grill towards you by grasping the finger
tabs on both sides.
3. Remove the HEPA-Type filter by gripping on both
sides and pulling forward.
4. Remove protective plastic bag from the filter cartridge.
5. This model utilizes hang tabs and a filter clip. The clip
can only be attached to the tabs on the filter in only
one way. The filter clip should easily slide onto the
filter hang tab with only a small amount of pressure.
DO NOT use force while attaching the clip to the filter.
Align the clip on the top of the HEPA-Type filter with
the rails on the inside of
the purifier unit. Gently
slide the filter onto the
rail (Figure 1).
NOTE: The side with
the soft gasket should
face inward.
6. Replace air inlet grill back onto unit securely.
AIR CLEANER SAFETY
PLEASE READ AND SAVE
THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using appliance.
2. To avoid fire and shock hazard, plug the appliance
directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped: remove
plastic bag before use.
4. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire
hazard NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat
registers, radiators, stoves or heaters.
5. To protect against electrical hazards DO NOT immerse
in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by, or near children or by disabled persons.
7. Always unplug the air purifeir before moving it,
opening the grill, changing the filters or whenever the
air purifier is not in use. Unplug by pulling on the plug
and not the cord.
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance
malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or
repair.
10.Use appliance only for the intended household use as
described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock or injury to persons. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by The
manufacturer may cause hazards.
11.Do not use outdoors.
12.Never block the air openings, or place on soft surface,
such as bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to
tip over thus blocking the air intake opening.
13.Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open
flames.
14.DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or
mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void
the warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed
by qualified personnel only.
15.WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, DO NOT use this air purifier with any solid-
state speed control device.
16.DO NOT place anything on top of the unit.
PLEASE SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED
PLUG (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
The length of the cord used on this product was selected
to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the air cleaner (refer to the rating label
placed on the air purifier). Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord where it cannot be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
IONIZER
Your Air Purifier has an independently controlled ionizer,
which, when turned on, releases negative ions into
outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a
positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally
around us, in the air, water and ground. Both positive and
negative ions are colorless, odorless and completely
harmless. Negative ions help the air purification process
by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in
the room.
These particles take on a negative charge and may join
with positively charged particles such as dust, pollen,
smoke and pet dander to form larger particles that are
then more readily captured by the filter system, or may be
attracted to positively charged surfaces throughout the
home, like walls or floors. This may occur more frequently
when the filter is nearing the end of its functional life
expectancy and is able to capture less of the charged
particles.
You may also note after extended use, that dust has
collected around the grills or front panel. This is from the
ionization affect caused by the negative ions exiting from
the air outlet. This is additional evidence of the air
cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be
DO NOT POINT OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Press the power button ( ). The unit will turn onto
high and the power light will illuminate letting you know

4. To release negative ions into the filtered air, turn the
ionizer knob to ON ( ) and the light will illuminate.
5. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to
operate the air cleaner continuously. Its rugged motor
has been designed to give many years of use. For
continuous use, it’s recommended to operate the air
cleaner at the MEDIUM ( ) setting. For quieter
operation or use in a bedroom, select the LOW ( )
setting. When high levels of air pollution are present,
select the HIGH ( ) setting to quickly circulate and
filter the room air.
