READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS AIR PURIFIER
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions before operating the air purifier.
- Place air purifier where it would not be easily overturned by persons in the household.
- ALWAYS turn the air purifier controls to the OFF position and unplug from the wall outlet when not in use.
- To disconnect the air purifier, make sure the unit is powered OFF then grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. NEVER pull by the cord.
- DO NOT use any product with a damaged cord or plug, any product that malfunctions, or any product that has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
- DO NOT use an air purifier outdoors.
- DO NOT use an air purifier unless it is fully assembled.
- DO NOT run power cord under carpets, and DO NOT cover with throw rugs. Arrange the cord such that it will not be a tripping hazard.
- DO NOT use an air purifier where combustible gases or vapors are present.
- DO NOT expose the air purifier to rain, or use near water, in a bathroom, laundry area, or other damp location.
- The air purifier MUST be used in its upright position.
- DO NOT allow foreign objects to enter ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock or damage to the air purifier. DO NOT block air outlets or intakes.
- Locate the air purifier near the outlet and DO NOT use it with an extension cord or power strip.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace the loose or worn outlets.
- DO NOT sit, stand, or place heavy objects on the air purifier.
- ALWAYS disconnect the power supply before servicing.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Filters may be harmful if ingested. Avoid breathing dust when changing filters.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER
HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS
This model air purifier incorporates a 2-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit
Stage 1: Type
Stage 2: Type Filter
dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mite debris and smokes as small as 0.3 microns or larger from the air that passes through the filter.
GETTING STARTED
- Select a firm, level, and flat location.
- When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent the build-up of dust and other contaminants. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light-colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where candles are burned.
- Ensure the front of the unit faces away from the closest wall or furniture.
- Ensure no grilles are blocked.
INSTALL CERTIFIED HEPA FILTERS AND ODOR REDUCING PRE-FILTER
The Certified HEPA Filter and Odor Reducing Pre-Filter are supplied within your air purifier. New air purifiers have their filters wrapped to ensure purity and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter (Type Filter
- Before using your new air purifier you must remove the wrappers covering the filters and pre-filter. Make sure the air purifier is OFF and unplugged.
- Turn the air purifier upside down on a flat surface. The filter is visible from the bottom of the unit (Fig. 2).
- Remove the Certified HEPA Filter by grasping the filter from the finger notches. There are small molded tabs that secure the filter in place and prevent it from slipping out of the unit. Pull away from tabs and up to remove. When removing a used filter that is not wrapped in plastic, pull the red tab to remove.
- Remove the protective plastic wrap from the HEPA Filter and Pre-Filter.
- Install the Pre-Filter first by sliding it in behind the front grille of the air purifier and securing it in the molded slots.
- Install the Certified HEPA Filter by sliding it in the opening on the bottom of the air purifier. Ensure that the red tab is accessible for easy removal.
WARNING: Filters may be harmful if ingested. Avoid breathing dust when changing filters.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CHECK REMINDER
This model has an electronic filter check to remind you when to check and replace your filters based on the air purifier’s hours of use. A red LED will illuminate when it is time to check/replace your filters.
When the HEPA Filter or Pre-Filter needs to be replaced, the light will remain on until it is RESET. You may unplug the air purifier without interrupting the filter check.
You should periodically check the filters depending on operating conditions, the HEPA Filter should be replaced every 12 months and the pre-filter every 3 months.
REPLACE WITH CERTIFIED HEPA FILTER Filter
To RESET the Electronic Filter Check:
When the filter check light remains on and solid, it is time to replace the Odor Reducing Pre-Filter and reset the filter monitor. With the unit powered ON, press the FILTER RESET button next to the Check Filter LED and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the light turns off (Fig. 4).
When the LED illuminates and is flashing, it is time to replace the HEPA filter and reset the filter monitor. With the unit powered ON, press the FILTER RESET button and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the light turns OFF (Fig. 4).
Manual (or Early) Reset of Electronic Filter Check
Depending on your individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to replace the filters more or less frequently. Each time you replace your filters, you should reset the filter monitor. You may manually reset the filter monitor for the Pre-Filter or the HEPA Filter, or both. If you change the Pre-Filter or HEPA Filter before the Check Filter LED is illuminated, it is possible to reset the filter monitor. You must first manually illuminate the Check Filter LED. Follow these steps:
- With the unit powered ON, press the FILTER RESET button for 5 seconds to illuminate the LED in “solid” mode.

DO NOT USE WATER, WAX, POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.
If your Air Purifier will not be used for more than 30 days, we recommend that you:
