IMPORTANT CAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING AN AIR PURIFIER:

WARNING: Follow the instructions in this manual to reduce the risk of electric shock, short circuit, and/or fire:

• Do not use this air purifier as sole protection against harmful pollutants.
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Do not repair or modify the unit unless specifically recommended in this manual. All repairs should be completed by a qualified technician.
• The plug for this unit is polarized with one blade wider than the other. Do not force the plug into an electrical outlet.
• Do not alter the plug in any way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified technician to install a proper outlet.
• Do not use it if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the wall outlet is loose.
• Use AC 120V only.
• Do not damage, break, forcefully bend, pull, twist, bundle, coat, pinch, or place heavy objects on the power cord.
• Periodically remove dust from the power plug. This will reduce the chance that humidity will accumulate, which increases the risk of electric shock.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

DISPLAY PANEL

NOTE: After the unit is turned on the “AQ” light will flash for a few minutes while the system self-calibrates.

1. HEPA FILTER REPLACEMENT INDICATOR – This indicator will show its status when the access panel is open or closed. If the light is red this indicates the filter needs replacing. The replacement period will vary depending on the filters used, hours of use, air quality, and rate of airflow. For filter replacement indicator descriptions see the FILTER REPLACEMENT INDICATORS section.
2. CARBON FILTER REPLACEMENT INDICATOR – This indicator will show its status when the access panel is open or closed. If the light is red this indicates the filter needs to be replaced. The replacement period will vary depending on the filters used, hours of use, air quality, and rate of airflow. For filter replacement indicator descriptions see the FILTER REPLACEMENT INDICATORS section.
3. ACCESSORY INDICATOR – This indicator will show its status when the access panel is open or closed. This indicator will only be used if an accessory filter is installed in the unit. If the light is red this indicates the filter needs replacing. The replacement period will vary depending on the filters used, hours of use, air quality, and rate of airflow. For filter replacement indicator descriptions see the FILTER REPLACEMENT INDICATORS section.
4. AIR QUALITY SENSOR – This indicator will show its status when the access panel is open or closed. This indicator monitors the air quality and adjusts the fan speed to keep your air purified. Blue, amber, and red lights indicate the purity of your air.
5. PlasmaTRUE™ TECHNOLOGY – This indicator will show its status when the access panel is open or closed. Creates an ionized field to help safely remove airborne pollutants. To turn on and off the PlasmaTRUE™ TECHNOLOGY, touch and hold the PLASMA indicator. A blue light illuminates when the PlasmaTRUE™ TECHNOLOGY is enabled. To disable the PlasmaTRUE™ TECHNOLOGY, press and hold the “Plasma” indicator until the light is off.
6. AUTO MODE – To select, press and hold the button until the icon illuminates. This mode uses the EnviroSmart™ technology to monitor the air quality, motion, and noise level to adjust the fan speed in order to purify your air as quickly as possible. This button also includes a QUIET MODE. To select, press and hold until the button turns purple. The machine will continue to use EnviroSmart™ but only utilizes the 3 lowest, most quiet of the 5 fan speeds.
7. MANUAL MODE – To select, press the button until the icon illuminates. This mode allows you to choose one of the 5 fan speeds and keep the unit at this speed until AUTO MODE is chosen again. The internal sensors will not adjust the fan speed in this mode.
8. FAN SPEED INDICATORS – The fan has 5 speeds and can reach turbo speed to clean the room in case of high levels of contaminants. The number of bars illuminated indicates fan speed.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING:

•  Clean external housing as necessary by wiping with a dry, soft cloth; for stains, use a warm, damp cloth.
• Do not use volatile fluids such as benzene, paint thinner, scouring powder, or other cleaners that may damage the unit surface.
• Clean intake and exhaust vents by wiping with a dry, soft cloth.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INDICATORS:

The replacement filter indicators will signal when to replace the HEPA filter and/or Carbon with Pre-Filter. The replacement period will vary depending on the hours of use,  ir
quality, and rate of airflow. However, under normal usage, most HEPA filters need to be replaced every 2 years, and Carbon with Pre-Filter every 6 months. When a filter needs  to be replaced the following color will be shown on any one of the HEPA, CARBON, or ACCESSORY filter replacement indicators:

Red Flashing = RIGHT filter 90% full
Amber Flashing = LEFT filter 90% full
Red Flash, Pause, Amber Flash, Pause = Right & LEFT filters 90% full
Red = Replace RIGHT filter
Amber = Replace LEFT filter
Red & Amber Alternating = Replace Right & Left filters

Do not wash and reuse any of the filters – they will not work effectively. Only use AeraMax ® PRO brand replacement filters as units will not function using any other replacements.

FILTER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:

Unlock access panel: to unlock, insert the key provided and rotate counterclockwise ¼ turn.|

---|---
Open the front access panel by pressing latches on both sides of the unit. Allow the panel to open fully. Remove filter(s) to be replaced.|

Remove any packaging wrap from the new filters(s) and re-install the filters.|

FILTER REPLACEMENT:

When installing a new filter the unit will automatically detect the filter type but the user will have to manually reset the filter replacement indicators. To reset the flashing filter replacement indicator uses the following procedure:

1. Touch and hold the illuminated indicator for three seconds until a beep is heard and the indicator is flashing green.
2. Release the finger from the indicator.
3. Touch and hold the indicator for three seconds until a beep is heard and the indicator light turns off.

OPERATION

The air purifier continuously works in automatic mode; the user can select which preference they would like the purifier to use based on the location or desired operation of the air purifier. The purifier will operate through a minimized range of speeds, not exceeding the maximum level selected, in order to run quietly while cleaning the room of contaminants. Once the air is cleaned, and no sensors are activated, the unit lowers to energy-saving mode to reduce energy consumption and extend the life of the filters.

When Auto Mode is selected, the Auto mode indicator will be blue. This mode uses the EnviroSmart™ technology to monitor the air quality, motion, and noise level to adjust the fan speed in order to purify your air as quickly as possible. Once the air is cleaned, and no sensors are activated, the unit lowers to energy-saving mode to reduce energy consumption and extend the life of the filters.

When Quiet Mode is selected, the Auto Mode indicator will be purple. The machine will continue to use EnviroSmart™ but only utilizes the 3 lowest, most quiet of the 5 fan speeds.

When Manual Mode is selected, the Manual mode indicator will be blue. This mode allows you to choose one of the 5 fan speeds and keep the unit at this speed until
Auto Mode is chosen/selected. EnviroSmart™ sensors will NOT adjust the fan speed in this mode.
