Hunter HP450UV UVC Round Tower Air Purifier User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Hunter® UVC Round Tower Air Purifier! Since 1886, Hunter® has innovated new and smarter ways to clean, circulate and condition the air in your home. Hunter® air Purifier! use:

EcoSilver® Pre-Filter with Coconut Carbon: 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). Coconut carbon in the pre-filter captures larger airborne particles and reduces household odors from cooking, cleaning, smoking and pets.

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.

Photocatalyst Filter: Our photocatalyst filter eliminates toxic VOCs in the air caused by household cleaners and products.

LED UVC Light: The Hunter® air purifier is equipped with a LED UVC light. UVC technology inhibits the growth of microorganisms that are exposed to the UVC light.

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 the by the True HEPA filter, which removes up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Finally, the photocatalyst filter works with the LED UVC light to remove toxic VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the air caused by household cleaners and products.
