OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE TURNING THE UNIT ON

• This air purifier has 2 fan speed settings: low and high. The higher the fan speed setting, the faster the air will be purified. Select or change fan speed, press the fan speed button until the desired setting is reached.

IONISER SETTING WITH ON/OFF
Ion particles have a positive or negative charge that attaches to airborne particles, making them easier to be captured by the filtration system. Press the ioniser ION button to turn the ioniser on. The blue light will glow to indicate the ioniser is in use. Press the ioniser ION button again to turn the ioniser off.
NOTE: Dust particles may accumulate on surfaces around the air purifier when the ioniser is in use. These dust particles can be vacuumed or wiped away with a soft, damp cloth.
NOTE: You may hear occasional popping sounds when the ioniser is used. This is normal.
NOTE: The ioniser produces less ozone than the UL-established limits of 0.05 ppm. Ozone may be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, use the ioniser feature in a well-ventilated area.

NOTE: Do not leave a filled essential oil pad in the air purifier if it will be out of use for a long period of time.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?
We should always exercise caution when using essential oils around our pets. Keep all essential oil and aromatherapy products (like diffusers) out of reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid internal consumption. We do not recommend the topical use of essential oils on pets, as they have a strong sense of smell and cannot get rid of the oil if they don’t like it or it is disturbing them. When diffusing essential oils around pets, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them to remove themselves from the space, such as leaving a door open. Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds when introducing an essential oil for the first time. If irritation occurs, discontinue the use of the essential oil. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential oil occurs.

ADDING ESSENTIAL OILS
This air purifier has been certified by the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF) as an allergy-friendly product. Please note that allergy friendliness is no longer guaranteed if the Essential Oil Scent Tray function is used, since essential oils may lead to allergic reactions.
WARNING: Putting oil anywhere but the oil tray will damage the air purifier.

| 1. The oil tray is located on the side of the air purifier.
---|---
| 2. Push to open and remove the tray.

| 4. Add 5–7 drops of essential oil to the pad. You may use it more or less depending on personal preference.
WARNING: Only place essential oil on the pad and NOT directly into the tray.
| 5. Place the oil tray back in its compartment and push to close. The scent will start automatically when the air purifier is turned on.
