Your new air cleaner quickly and effectively cleans and revitalizes indoor air by utilizing a three stage cleaning system to reduce the amount of commonly found pollutants such as tobacco smoke, pollen, household dust, pet dander, and even mould spores.  Designed for outstanding owner convenience, this air cleaner features  a cleanable HEPA- Type filter, which eliminates the need to replace and purchase expensive filters. It also has a filter clean indicator that takes the guesswork out of knowing when to clean the filter. Three cleaning levels and programmable timer functions let you match the air cleaner’s performance to your special needs. All operating functions are easily set and adjusted with convenient push button electronic controls and LED light display.
  • For maximum performance, we highly recommend that you operate the Cleanable HEPA-Type Air Cleaner in the following manner:
  • 24 hours a day
  • Ionizer ON for the first day.
  • Ionizer OFF after the first day.
  • Ionizer ON when you require quick cleaning and extra refreshing of room air.

SETUP
Your Cleanable HEPA- Type 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.
ELECTRICAL HOOKUP
Plug the Cleanable HEPA- Type Air Cleaner into a properly grounded, 3-prong household AC outlet. If you are not sure whether the outlet is properly grounded, have it checked out by a qualified electrician.

WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock hazard, the Cleanable HEPA- Type Air Cleaner should ONLY be plugged into a properly grounded 3-prong, 120-volt AC outlet.
CAUTION: NEVER operate the Cleanable HEPA- Type Air Cleaner until it is completely and fully assembled. Permanent damage could result to the motors and controls.

HOW IT WORKS

• This Air Cleaner is equipped with a three-stage cleaning system that utilizes a charcoal pre-filter, Cleanable HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor)­Type Filter and ionizer. Room air is drawn into the air cleaner through the air intake grille and passes through the filters:
• The charcoal pre-filter attracts larger and odour-producing particles and prevents them from passing into the Cleanable HEPA-type filter.
• Finer particles not trapped by the charcoal pre-filter are captured by the Cleanable HEPA-Type filter.
• The filtered air is then released from the front of the unit and dispersed outward into the room. The Ionizer, when turned ON, adds negative ions to the exiting stream of clean air. This function provides additional air freshening and revitalization (See Fig. 1 ).

OPERATION

POWER ON/OFF TO START AIR CLEANER (SEE Fig. 2E)

• Press the Power Button.
• The control buttons and LED lights will light up.
• The air cleaner starts at Low speed with the Ionizer ON and the Timer OFF. There will be a short beep anytime a control button is pressed.

TO SET SPEED (SEE Fig. 2G)

1. The air cleaner is at a LOW speed.
2. For MEDIUM speed, press the button.
3. For HIGH speed, press the button again.
4. For LOW speed, press the button again.

SPEEDS

• HID Maximum Operation ……………. Fast Cleaning
• MED aytime Operation ………………. Normal Cleaning
• LO Nighttime Operation …………….. Quieter Cleaning

Each time you start your Air Cleaner, we recommend that you run it at HI speed for a few minutes for fast initial cleaning. Then set it to MED or LO as desired. The ionizer, when turned ON, adds negative ions to the exiting stream of clean air. This function provides additional air freshening and revitalization.

TO TURN IONIZER ON/OFF (See Fig. 2F)

• The ionizer is on when the air cleaner is turned ON.
• The LED light above the ION button will light up.
• To turn the Ionizer OFF, press the button.
• To turn the Ionizer back ON, press the button again

TO SET TIMER BUTTON (See Fig. 2D)

• Your air cleaner has a timer function that allows you to select from three
• pre-programmed periods of operation (one, two or four hours) for which you would like the air cleaner to run and then shut itself off automatically.
• Press the Timer button once and the air cleaner will run for one hour. The LED light will light up below 1 H indicating it has been programmed to run for one hour.
• Press the Timer button again and the air cleaner will run for two hours. The LED light will light up below 2H indicating it has been programmed to run for two hours.
• Press the Timer button again and the air cleaner will run for four hours. The LED light will light up below 4H indicating it has been programmed to run for four hours.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANABLE HEPA-TYPE Fil TER CLEAN/ PRE-FILTER CHANGE SCHEDULE

• Your air cleaner also has built-in reminders to let you know when to change the charcoal pre-filter and when to clean the HEPA-type filter.
• The charcoal pre-filter will need to be replaced and the HEPA-type filter will need to be cleaned periodically in order to allow the air cleaner to operate at peak efficiency. The frequency of charcoal pre-filter replacement and HEPA­Type filter cleaning will
• depend on the environment in which the air cleaner is used. LED lights on the control panel will alert the user when to change the charcoal pre-filter and clean the HEPA-type filter.
• After running for approximately 14 weeks, 24 hours a day, the LED light below the Clean HEPA- Type filter will light up and a short beep will follow reminding you the HEPA- Type filter should be cleaned.
• After running for approximately 8 weeks, 24 hours a day, the LED light below Change Pre-filter will light up and a short beep will follow reminding you the charcoal pre-filter should be replaced.
• Please note that these pre-set cleaning and changing schedules are based on factory-recommended times under normal use. The HEPA-type filter may need to be cleaned or the charcoal pre-filter may need to be replaced earlier depending on the
• environment. You should occasionally give the pre-filter a visual check.
