- Never try to take apart or repair the unit by yourself.

Self Closing Cover
The Paralda is equipped with a unique self-closing cover. To use, begin
closing the cover and then stop pressing. The unit will automatically close
completely, by itself.
Cable Management System
The underside of the Paralda was designed specifically to neatly hold any
excess cabling. Simply wrap any unused portion of the cord under the unit and
use the side cut out to feed the desired amount of cord out from under the
unit.
Using the Night Light
The Night Light on the front of the Paralda will be illuminated the first time
you turn your unit on. The Night Light can easily be turned off and back on
with the “Light” button on the control panel. The Paralda will remember your
selection. If the night light is turned off when the Paralda is turned off, it
will remain off the next time the unit is turned on and vice versa.
About the Ionizer
The ionizer charges particles as they pass through the unit, causing them to
stick to each other and become larger in size. Larger particles settle out of
the air quicker and are easier for the filter to capture the next time they
pass through the unit. Alen Ionizers are Ozone-Safe and certified by the
California Air Resources Board. This feature can be turned on and off with the
“Ion” button on the control panel.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The filters used in all Alen Air Purifiers are not designed to be washed,
cleaned, or otherwise reused. Over time, the filters become overloaded with
particles, decreasing their filtration performance. We recommend regular
filter replacements (at least every 6 months with normal use) to extend the
life of your air purifier and maximize performance.
Why You Should Replace Your Filter
- You purchased an Alen Air Purifier to improve the quality of your indoor air. Changing your filters on time is the only way to maintain an optimal level of air quality.
- Excessively dirty filters can compromise the level of clean air your air purifier can provide.

PROGRAMMING THE PARALDA
