other Bionaire
®
products, visit our website at
www.bionaire.com.
TRUE HEPA FILTER
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to
remove up to 99.97% of airborne pollutants at 0.3 microns
or larger, from the air that passes through them. These
include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet dander and
pollen.
HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW SPEED SETTINGS
For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire
®
air cleaner
continuously on the HI setting. Its rugged motor has been
designed to give many years of use. For quieter operation
(such as in a bedroom), select LOW setting.
BEFORE USE
1. Carefully unpack your air cleaner.
2. Select a firm, level surface with no obstructions to the
air inlets or outlets.
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove
plastic bag before use and place filters into unit.
AIR CLEANER SAFETY
PLEASE READ AND SAVE
THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or 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
the appliance 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 disabled persons.
7. Always unplug the air cleaner before moving or
cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filters
and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the
unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord.
8. NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of
the unit.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit has
been dropped or damaged in any manner, return
appliance to manufacturer for examination and/or
repair.
10. Use appliance only for 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 Jarden
Consumer Solutions may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa
as this could cause the unit to tip over and block the
air inlet or outlet grills.
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
your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by
Jarden Consumer Solutions or an authorized Jarden
Consumer Solutions Center.
15. DO NOT place anything on top of unit.
16. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner,
furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household
solvents to clean any part of the appliance.
17. Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.
18. The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than
the UL established limits of 50ppb. However, in high
concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and
small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using
the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.
19. This appliance should only be used in a room with
temperatures between 40° F (4.4° C) and 110° F
(43.3° C).
20. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
DO NOT use this appliance with any solid-state speed
control device.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE
THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
PLUG SAFETY
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, THIS
PRODUCT HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider
than the other).
This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact qualified personnel to
install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.
CORD SAFETY
• The length of cord used on this appliance was selected
to reduce tangling or tripping hazards.
• 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 electrical
rating of the air cleaner (see rating label marked on
product).
• Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR CLEANER
Your true HEPA air cleaner removes up to 99.97% of
airborne allergens as small as 0.3 microns, including
ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust,
dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander and smoke
from the air passing through the filter.
IONIZER
This appliance has an optional ionizer feature which, when
turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air
to help the air purification process.
What Are Ions?
Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative
charge. They exist naturally around us: in the air, water,
and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless,
odorless, and completely harmless.
How Does The Ionizer Work?
Negative ions help air purification 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. These larger particles are
then more easily captured by the filter system.
Important Notes:
Your ionizer may produce an occasional popping or
cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a small
buildup of ions is discharged.
After extended use, you may notice dust around the grills
or front panel. This is caused by negative ions exiting the
air outlet, evidence of the ionizer’s air cleaning
effectiveness. You can remove the dust with a soft brush
or clean, damp cloth.
Larger particles 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 useful product life and unable to
capture as many charged particles.
• Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may
decrease the life expectancy of the filter and interfere
with the ionization process.
To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces
throughout your home:
• You may want to run the ionizer less often.
• Check the condition of the filter more frequently.
CAUTION: The ionizer in this appliance produces less
ozone than the UL* established limits of 50ppb. However,
in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and
small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using
the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.
REPLACING THE FILTER
IMPORTANT:
• NOTE: DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use the filter.
• If the filters are enclosed in plastic bags, remove before
use.
NOTE:
Every few weeks, check the condition of filters. Filter life will
vary, depending on air quality and usage. On average,
filters need replacement every 10-12 months.
To replace your filter:
1. Turn off and unplug the air cleaner.
2. Open the air inlet grill and examine the foam pre-filter.
Remove any dust or lint, and wash in warm soapy
water. Rinse, drip dry, and place back into grill inlet.
3. Remove filter from the unit by pulling it gently towards
you and discard it. DO NOT attempt to clean the old
filter.
4. Install the new BAPF300
filter into the unit.This
model utilizes a hang tab
and filter clips to insure
that the filter is properly in
place. Before replacing the
filter, make sure that the
hang tab is securely in
place. The clip can only be
attached to the tabs on
the filter 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. (Fig. 2)
5. Align the clip on the top of
filter with rails on the inside
of the cleaner unit. Gently
slide the filter onto the rail.
(Fig. 3)
6. Replace air inlet grill.
NOTE: Filters can be purchased at a retailer near you or
by calling 1-800-253-2764.
