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. Remove the air inlet grill 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.

DO NOT POINT OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.

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

easily removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

2. Select the desired operating speed. Air Purifiers have

three speed settings. You can select from HIGH ( 

),

MEDIUM ( 

) or LOW (  ) by moving the knob to the

desired setting.

3. To release negative ions into the filtered air, turn the

ionizer knob to ON ( 

) and the light will illuminate.

4. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to

operate the air purifier continuously. Its rugged motor

has been designed to give many years of use.

For continuous use, it is recommended to operate the air

purifier 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.
