HOW IT WORKS

This air cleaner is equipped with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor) filter. Room air is drawn into the air cleaner through the air intake grille and passes through the HEPA filter. The filtered air is released from the top of the unit and is dispersed  upwards into the room.
The air cleaner has three operating speeds, HT, MED and LO.The indicator light is “ON” when the air cleaner is operating.
Your air cleaner has an ionizer with a red light indicating when it is turned “ON”.
Use of ionizer boosts cleaning efficiency and revitalizes stale air.
Your air cleaner has a convenient carrying handle for casy portability.

SETUP

Your air cleaner was thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory prior to packaging.
Visually inspect it upon removal from its box. Remove and discard any packaging material. Return the unit if it shows any signs of damage or mishandling.
Note that there is a label on the side of the unit as a reminder of when the HEPA filter should be replaced. Using a ballpoint pen, write on the label a date six months away from the first operation date. See FILTER CHANGE SCHEDULE below.

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP
Plug the air cleaner into a polarized 120 volt AC wall outlet.
WARNING: To avoid fire or shock hazard, the air cleaner should ONLY be plugged into a polarized £20 Volt AC outlet.

OP ERATION

CAUTION: Never operate the air cleaner without the filters properly installed.
Permanent motor damage could result.
Each time you operate the air cleaner, it is a good idea to run it at HT speed for fast initial cleaning, then set as desired.

HE…………………………..Maximum Operation Fast Initial Cleaning
MED……………………….Daytime Operation
LO………………………….Nighttime Use/Quieter operation

• On/Off Ionizer Operation……………………….Use for fast initial cleaning
• When the ionizer is activated it helps to further clean and freshen the air by precipitating out small airborne particles. When using ionizer, be sure to place Fg air cleaner about one foot away from the walls.This will keep precipitated dust particles from  depositing on the walls.

FILTER CHANGE SCHEDULE

HEPA Filter: The usable lifetime of the HEPA filter is 6 to 12 months depending upon the level of air contaminants in the room and the frequency of use. The HEPA filter will turn medium brown and air volume output will begin to decrease dramatically when  the filter needs to be changed. Compare the color of HEPA filter to the “change filter” color chart label located near the filter frame and change the filter as necessary. You should have a spare filter available for later replacement.
