THE POWER OF FILTRETE™

Filtrete™ filters use proprietary technology to provide high filtration efficiency and low airflow resistance. Filtrete™ filters have electrostatically charged fibers that act
like magnets to capture particles.

Replace your filter with the Filtrete™ Premium Allergen, Bacteria & Virus filter. This filter comes packed with True HEPA filtration*.

• • HEPA is a high-performance level of air filtration that can remove 99.97%+ of all airborne particles that pass through the filter, including dust, allergens, bacteria and viruses.
• +As small as 0.3 microns from the air passing through the filter media. Initial efficiency value.

The table below matches the filter model number with the room air purifier model number:

TIPS ON MAXIMIZING YOUR FILTRETE™ ROOM AIR PURIFIER

1. Clean and seal, as much as possible, the room in which the air purifier operates.
2. Continue to dust surfaces and vacuum on a normal schedule.
3. Close all windows and doors during operation.
4. Change filter regularly*.

*The electrostatically charged fibers are most effective when it is new. As the filter is used, the life will be consumed and the filter’s effectiveness will decrease; the actual filter life will depend on the use conditions in your home.

WHAT IS CADR AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

The Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is a measure of the reduction rate (cleaning speed) of specific particulates by an air purifier or other filtration system in a controlled environment. A higher CADR means that the air purifier cleans the air more quickly than a unit with lower CADR. CADR is the one performance measure that can be used to compare all air cleaners, as it reflects both the effectiveness and the air volume processed by the air purifier. CADR is usually measured for three particle types: smoke, dust, and pollen. According to the Asso ciation of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) Room Air Cleaner Certification Program, the recommended room size is directly related to the smoke CADR.

Look for the AHAM mark on the front of the package and the CADR rating label elsewhere on the package. The CADR rating label will list the CADR rating for tobacco smoke, dust, and pollen, and it will also list the recommended room size per the AHAM certification.

ENERGY STAR®

The FAP-C01BA-G1 and FAP-C02WA-G2 models are ENERGY STAR certified devices.

The energy efficiency of these ENERGY STAR certified models is measured based on a ratio between the model’s CADR for Smoke and the electrical energy it consumes, or CADR/Watt.

These products earned the ENERGY STAR label by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. EPA. Room air cleaners have demonstrated the potential for improving air quality and providing health benefits. EPA does not endorse manufacturer claims regarding the degree to which a specific product will produce healthier indoor air.

The table below provides an estimated length of filter life based on the number of hours of daily use (in a 7-day week). Once you have changed the filter in the air purifier, reset the filter change indicator – to do so, hold the RESET icon for 3 seconds.

CHANGING THE FILTER

When to change:

The table below provides an estimated filter life based on the number of hours of daily use, with seven days per week operation.

Depending upon the conditions in your home, the filter may need to be changed more frequently. Using the air purifier in environments with tobacco smoke, candle burning, construction work, sanding projects, wood burning stove or fireplace smoke, or pets in the home may decrease the filter’s life. The filter should be periodically checked for damage or blockage.

Main Filter

1. Turn off air purifier. Remove the filter cover on the front of the air purifier by pulling the top of the cover.
2. Remove the used filter from the filter tray and replace it with a new Filtrete™ air filter –install the new filter in the same manner as the previous filter.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Where To Find Your Model Number
  • The air purifier model number, serial number, and electrical rating can be found on the label on the bottom on the air purifier.
• Replacement Filter Does Not Fit
  • Check the model number on the filter and compare it to the table on page 4.
  • Make sure no foreign objects are blocking the filter opening.
  • Make sure that any packaging materials have been removed from the filter.
• Air Purifier Will Not Turn On
  • Be sure the air purifier is properly plugged into a 120V AC outlet.
  • Check if a fuse has blown or if a circuit breaker has been tripped. First check both the home’s fuses and/or circuit breakers, then check the fuse in the air purifier’s power cord. If a circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown, first try to determine the root cause for the fault condition and correct the fault condition before resetting circuit breakers or replacing fuses. If no fault can be found, try replacing the fuse in the air purifier’s power cord. If the fuse blows a second time, discard the air purifier.
• Decreased Air Flow
  • Make sure that any packaging materials have been removed from the filter.
  • Check the air purifier to make sure the air inlet and filtered air outlet are not blocked.
  • Check the condition of the filter and if dirty, replace with a new Filtrete™ replacement filter.
• Noisy Operation
  • Check the condition of the filter and if dirty, replace with a new Filtrete™ replacement filter.
