Thank you for choosing a Bionaire’ air purifier. To ensure the best performance from your air purifier, please read and save the following instructions.

IONIZER
Your Air Purifier has an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally around us, in the air, water and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless and completely harmless.
Negative ions help the air purification process by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the room. These particles take on a negative charge and may join with positively charged particles such as dust. pollen, smoke and pet dander to form larger particles that are then more readily captured by the filter system, or they may be attracted to positively charged surfaces like walls or floors. You may also note after extended use, that dust may have collected around the grills or front panel. This is from the ionization affect caused by the negative ions exiting from the air outlet This is additional evidence of the air cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.

NOTE : It is important to replace the HEPA filter at the recommended intervals. Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or filtered air outlet A good location in a room is approximately 7 foot away from the wall, in a central location of your home.

2. Full air inlet grill towards you by grasping the finger tabs on both sides.

3. Remove HEPA filter by gripping on both sides and pulling forward.

4. Remove protective plastic bag from the filter cartridge.

5. This model utilizes a hang tab and filter clip. The clip can only be attached to the tabs on the filter one way only The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter hang tab with only a small amount of pressure. DO NOT use force while attaching the clip to the filter (See Figure 7) Align the clip on the top of tl1e HEPA filter with the rails on the inside of the air purifier unit Gently slide the filter onto the rail (See Figure 2)
   NOTE : The side with the soft gasket should face inward.
