Hunter HP400 True HEPA Round Tower Air Purifier

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Hunter® Round Tower Air Purified Since 1886, Hunter® has innovated new and smarter ways to clean, circulate and condition the air in your home. Hunter® air purifiers use:
True HEPA Filter: Rigorously tested, our True HEPA filter removes up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns in size including smoke, dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, mold spores, and dust mites.
EcoSilver® Pre-Filter: The Pre-Filter uses silver nanotechnology to prevent the growth of microorganisms on the filter, including bacteria and viruses, and removes harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

How the System Works

The internal fan pulls air into the air purifier which then passes through the pre-filter, where larger airborne particles such as pet hair & dander are trapped. The smaller particles that pass through the pre-filter are then captured by the True HEPA filter, which removes up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

  • Read all instructions before using the appliance.
  • IMPORTANT – This portable product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit into 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. Never use an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not after the plug.
  • To avoid fire or shock hazards, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
  • Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazards, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiators, stoves or heaters.
  • To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
  • Place the Air Purifier in an area that is out of the reach of children.
  • Always unplug the air purifier before moving it, opening the grill, changing filters, cleaning, or whenever the air purifier is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
  • NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
  • DO NOT run cord under carpeting.
  • DO NOT cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.
  • DO NOT route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange the cord away from the traffic area so that it will not be tripped over.
