purifier continuously on the MEDIUM ( ) setting. Its
rugged motor has been designed to give many years of
use. For quieter operation (such as 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.
BEFORE USE
1. Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm level
place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet
or filtered air outlet.
2. Remove the air inlet grill and check if the filter is
covered by a plastic bag. If it is, remove plastic bag
before use and place filter into unit. Reinstall the air
inlet grill.
3. DO NOT POINT FILTERED AIR OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Select the desired operating speed; HIGH ( ),
MEDIUM ( ), LOW ( ), by turning Speed Control
Knob to the appropriate setting. For optimum air
filtration, it is recommended to operate the air
purifier continuously.
3. To release negative ions into the filtered air, turn the
ionizer control knob to ON ( ) and the light will
illuminate.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before
cleaning.
2. The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a
soft, clean damp cloth.
3. The air inlet grill (reference Fig. 1) can be removed
and washed in warm soapy water (not dishwasher
safe). Dry before replacing in the unit.
4. The filtered air outlet can be cleaned of dust with a
small, soft brush.
5. If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier,
please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.
WARNING: Do not allow moisture to come in
contact with the main housing of the air purifier.
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 purifier (see rating label
marked on bottom of the 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 PURIFIER

from the air steam (*as small as 0.3 microns from 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 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 usable product life and is
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 air purifier
fan on.
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
