automatically adjusts the fan speed to cycle between

low, medium and high speed to provide optimum

filtration based on air particulate concentration. It also

helps conserve energy by only operating the fan at higher

speeds when needed. 

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. The 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(s) and

interfere with the ionization process. 

or lug extending from the adapter must be connected to

a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet

box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot

grounded receptacle is available.

This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.

If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact qualified

electrician to install the proper outlet.

This product is for use on 120 volts. 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.

FEATURES 

GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR CLEANER

Your Bionarie

®

air cleaner features a Permanent 

HEPA-Type filter that removes up to 99% of airborne

dust and pollen as small as 2 microns and helps reduce

smoke, mold spores and pet dander from the air passing

through the filter. 

• Permanent filters can be vacuumed every few months

for easy cleaning. 

• Washable pre-filter captures larger particles and

extends the permanent filter’s cleaning cycle.

• Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and

helps freshen the air.

• Slim tower design allows placement in almost any

area of the room.
