Introduction

• Thank you for purchasing the HEPAtech® Air Purification System from Hunter Fan Company. You have purchased our latest development in portable air purification which has been designed to improve the quality of the air that you breathe.
• The following innovative features are included in your Hunter Air Purifier.
• High Particulate Efficiency: The HEPAtech® filter will remove 99.97% of 0.1-micron particles from the air that passes through the filter.
• Odor Removal: The activated carbon pre-filter helps remove odors such as cooking, smoke, and pet smells from the air. It also traps lint, hair, and other large particles to help extend the life and performance of the HEPAtech® filter.
• Ionizer: The ionizer improves the quality of air in the room by releasing negative ions into the air that attract positively charged dust, smoke, and pollen particles.
• Quiet: The air purifier has been designed to operate quietly and efficiently. You can choose among three speeds to best meet your needs at different times.
• Filter Counters: Filter maintenance is critical to the performance of the air purifier.
• To help you determine when to change the filters, the pre-filter and HEPAtech® filter, the unit has built-in life counters that keep track of the life remaining of each filter.

Description of Air Filtration System

How the HEPAtech® Air Purification System Works

• As the air is pulled into the purifier, the activated carbon pre-filter absorbs odors and catches large particles. Then, the air travels through the HEPAtech® filter where the smaller particles are collected.
• Then, the ionizer releases negative ions into the air that attract positively charged dust, smoke, and pollen particles. Finally, the clean, purified air is released back into the room.

Air Purifier Components

Display and Control Keys

• The display and control keys allow for easy operation of the air purifier.
• UP/DOWN KEYS: Adjusts the blower speed and turns the unit on and off.
• PRE-FILTER RESET: Resets the Carbon Pre-Filter Life Counter.
• FILTER RESET: Resets the HEPAtech® Filter Life Counter.
• IONIZER KEY: Turns the ionizer on and off.

Operation

Initial Operation

This section provides basic instructions on the use of your air purifier. After following these initial directions, please continue reading this booklet to learn how to operate the more advanced features of your air purifier.

Basic Operation of the Air Purifier:

1. Take the air purifier out of the box and remove the clear plastic protective bag. Place the unit on a firm-level floor.
2. Before turning on the air purifier, you need to confirm that the filters are firmly in place and have not become loose during shipping. To check the filters, first open the front grill. Release the front grill by placing your fingers behind the tabs and pulling forward. Refer to Figs. 2 and 3.
3. Next, check the HEPAtech® filter by pressing firmly on all four corners of the filter to ensure that it is fully inserted into the filter opening.
4. The carbon pre-filter is mounted inside the front grill with hook tape. Confirm that it properly covers the grill vents. You may notice a few black particles coming off the pre-filter. Those particles are part of the odor-removing activated carbon and will be collected on the filter during use.
5. Place the front grill back onto the unit. First, line up the tabs on the bottom of the grill with the openings on the purifier base, and then push the top of the grill forward until it is closed. Refer to Figs. 2 and 3.
   • NOTE: This unit will not operate unless the grill is in the correct position.
6. Plug the unit into a 120V electrical outlet and press the UP key. The air purifier will start with a low blower speed.
7. Use the UP/DOWN keys to adjust the blower speed to the desired level (0 = Off, 1 = Low, 2 = Medium, 3 = High). Refer to Fig. 5.

Filter Life Counters

• The pre-filter and filter are critical to the proper operation of the air purifier. To help you know when to change the filters, your Hunter Air Purifier has Filter Life Counters that will monitor the percentage of life your filter has left.
• Although the exact life of the filters depends on the environment, the table below gives typical usage times of the filters.

Table 2: Typical Usage Times of the Filters

• The display shows the percentage of life left since the counter was reset.
• NOTE: The percentage level drops in 5% increments.
• The values of the Pre-Filter and Filter Life Counters are stored in the air purifier’s memory. The unit may be unplugged and moved or stored without losing the Pre-Filter and Filter Counter values.
• To properly track filter usage, the Pre-Filter and Filter Life Counters should be reset each time the filters are changed. Refer to Changing the Pre-Filter or Changing the Filter for instructions on how to reset the counters.

Locking/Unlocking the Keypad

Once you enter the desired speed, you may want to lock the keypad to prevent accidental changing of the speed. When the keypad is locked, all keys will be disabled. If you press a key, the Keypad Locked Indicator will be displayed on the screen for 1-2 seconds.

To Lock or Unlock the Keypad:

1. To lock the keypad, press and hold the UP/DOWN keys simultaneously for 2-3 seconds. The Keypad Locked Indicator will appear on the display. Refer to Fig. 6. After releasing the keys, the Keypad Locked Indicator will disappear.
2. To unlock the keypad, press and hold the UP/DOWN keys simultaneously for 2-3 seconds. The Keypad Indi-cator will disappear and the keypad will be functional.

Resetting the Air Purifier

In the unusual situation that the unit or the display is exhibiting erratic behavior, you may want to reset the air purifier. If you still have problems after resetting the air purifier, please contact Hunter for additional assistance (refer to Technical Assistance.

To Reset the Air Purifier:

1. Unplug the unit for at least 30 seconds.
2. Plug the unit back in.

Using the Ionizer

• Using the ionizer improves the quality of air in the room. Negative ions are released into the air and positively charged dust, smoke, and pollen particles are attracted to the negative ions.
• These particles settle out of the air and can be vacuumed up during normal cleaning. These particles are also more easily captured by the HEPAtech® filter as they pass through the HEPAtech® Air Purification System.
• To ensure the best air circulation in the room, we recommend that you place your air purifier six (6) inches away from any walls.

To turn the ionizer on or off:

1. To turn the ionizer on, press the IONIZER key. The Ionizer Indicator will appear on the display. Refer to Fig 7.
2. To turn the ionizer off, press the IONIZER key. The Ionizer Indicator will disappear.
