easily removed with a clean, dampened cloth or
soft brush.
Please note: it is important to change the HEPA
filter at recommended intervals. Using the ioniser
in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty
particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted
to walls, carpets, furniture and other household
objects, These dirty particles may prove very
difficult to remove.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
Dirty, dust laden air is drawn through the front of
the air purifier and through the multi-stage filtration
system.
1. The carbon filter will help clear odours making
the air cleaner and fresher.
2. The HEPA filter entraps 99% of all smaller
visible and non-visible particles down to 0.3
microns in size.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Quiet operation -
Your air purifier has been designed to be
unobtrusive around the home and to be very
quiet. The motor provides quiet performance and
durability necessary for continuous use.
Dual position -
The unit can be placed either upright or on its side,
flush against the wall. When positioning the unit
be sure that the air inlet grill, filters and air outlet
grill are not blocked, to ensure maximum air flow.
Ioniser -
Your Bionaire
®
Air Purifier has an independently
controlled ioniser, which when turned on, releases
negative ions into the outgoing filtered air. Ions are
tiny particles that carry either a positive or
negative charge. These ions exist naturally all
around us in the air, water and ground. Both
positive and negative ions are colourless,
odourless 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 they
may be attracted to positively charged surfaces
like walls or floors.
You may also note, after extended use, that dust
may have collected around the grills or front panel.
This is from the ionisation effect caused by the
negative ions exiting from the air outlet. This dust
does not come from the air output, but is drawn
out of the uncleaned air going past the air outlet.
This is additional evidence of the air cleaning
effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be
