AIR PURIFIER OPERATION

SETTING UP THE UNIT

IMPORTANT: Placement of this unit MUST BE AT LEAST 24″ from the wall, furniture, or other appliances.

1. Remove all tape and protective wrap from the unit.
2. Place the unit on a level floor, keeping it at least 24″ away from the wall, furniture, or other appliances.
3. Position the unit so the cleaner air flows to your desired location.

Note: Ensure the foam block on top of the filter under the FILTER COMPARTMENT DOOR is removed before use.

POWERING THE UNIT ON/OFF

1. Insert the power cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Press the POWER BUTTON to turn the unit on. Illuminates.
3. Press the POWER BUTTON to turn the unit off after use.

SELECTING FAN SPEED

Press the FAN SPEED button to choose between Whisper, Low, Medium, High, and Turbo Fan Speeds. An LED will denote the selected Fan Speed.

TURNING THE ION BOOST FUNCTION ON/OFF

Ion Boost releases a stream of negative ions into the room. Negative ions are found in abundance in some of the most refreshing and invigorating environments in nature. Think waterfalls, by the surf at the seashore, and in the mountains after a good cleansing rainstorm. Some people report feeling a lightening of mood or an increased clarity of mind in such environments. Turn the Ion Boost function on and off by pressing the ION button. An LED will illuminate while the Ion Boost function is activated.

USING THE AUTO-OFF FUNCTION

1. The unit can run continuously, or you can set an automatic shut-off time of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours.
2. Press the TIMER button to choose between 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 hours of auto shut-off time. An LED will denote the selected shut-off time. The unit will automatically shut off when the selected time has been reached.
   Note: When there are no LEDs lit for the Timer function, the unit will run continuously.
3. The Timer counts down when the auto shut-off function is enabled. For example, if 12 hours is the initial auto-off selection, after 4 hours have passed, the LED will show there are 8 hours left before the unit automatically shuts off.

ADJUSTING THE CONTROL PANEL BRIGHTNESS

1. The control panel has four brightness levels: High, Medium, Low, and Off.
2. To adjust the brightness level, press and hold the POWER button (when the unit is powered on) for 3 seconds. The control panel will cycle through the four brightness levels.
3. Release the POWER button when the control panel displays your desired brightness level.
   Note: If the brightness level is set to Medium, Low, or Off, when any button is pressed, the brightness level will default to High for 5 seconds.

CLEAN FILTER WARNING

• The POWER button backlight will flash to alert you that pollutants and particles have collected on the FILTER’s collection plates. If you see visible debris built up on the collection plates, wash the FILTER.
• The unit continues to clean the air when the POWER button backlight is flashing.

CLEANING THE FILTER

IMPORTANT! Never place a wet FILTER in the unit. Placing a wet FILTER in the unit could cause irreparable damage to the unit.

1. With the unit still plugged into a wall outlet, lift the FILTER COMPARTMENT DOOR and remove the FILTER.
   Note: The unit must remain plugged into a wall outlet to reset properly. As a precaution, if the unit is powered on, it will power off automatically when the filter is removed.
2. Remove the PRE-FILTERS from the FILTER.
3. Rinse the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER with warm, soapy water or place in the dishwasher.
   CAUTION: The FILTER’S collection plates are sha;p, please handle them carefully.
4. Allow the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER to dry. Ensure they are completely dry before using.
5. Replace the PRE-FILTERS.
6. Place the clean, dry FILTER in the unit. Normal operation can resume.
   Note: It may be necessary to clean the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER weekly, depending on the air quality in your environment. If your environment is filled with heavy smoke, you should clean the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER at least twice a week to avoid tar build-up on the FILTER.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR CLEANING THE FILTER

• Do not bend the collection plates in the FILTER to fit them in the dishwasher rack. The unit will not function properly if the collection plates have been bent and touch each other.
• If you find that the collection plates in the FILTER or the PRE-FILTERS are not completely clean after one dishwasher cycle, increase the wash cycle time or wash them a second time.
• It is safe to use standard dishwasher soap.
• If hand washing, rinse the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER’s collection plates in your sink to remove loose debris. Submerge the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER in warm, soapy water and allow them to soak for 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water.
  CAUTION: The collection plates are sharp, please handle carefully.
• You may use a small scrub brush to clean in between the collection plates, but take care not to bend them.
• If you do not allow the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER to completely dry, you may hear a crackling noise during use. If this occurs, remove the PRE-FILTERS and FILTER and dry completely before use.

USING THE DRYING MODE FUNCTION

IMPORTANT: The Drying Mode function should only be used to remove possible minor residual moisture. DO NOT use the Drying Mode to dry a soaking wet FILTER, as this may damage the unit.

1. With the unit off and a clean FILTER in the unit, press and hold the FAN SPEED and TIMER buttons for 3 seconds. The unit will run the Fans on the Turbo setting with no electrical charge for 40 minutes. The Turbo Fan Speed LED will blink during the Drying Mode.
2. After 40 minutes have passed, the unit will exit the Drying Mode and will turn off.
   Note: To exit out of the Drying Mode before 40 minutes have passed, press the POWER button. The Drying Mode will be stopped, and the unit will turn off.
