IONIZER

Thisappliancehasanoptionalionizerfeaturewhich,

whenturnedon,releasesnegativeionsintooutgoing

filteredairtohelptheairpurificationprocess.

What Are Ions?

Ionsaretinyparticlesthatcarryapositiveornegative

charge.Theyexistnaturallyaroundus:intheair,water,

andground.Bothpositiveandnegativeionsarecolorless,

odorless,andcompletelyharmless.

How Does The Ionizer Work?

Negativeionshelpairpurification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.These

largerparticlesarethenmoreeasilycapturedbythe

filtersystem.

Important Notes:

Yourionizermayproduceanoccasionalpoppingor

crackingsound.Thisisnormalandoccurswhenasmall

buildupofionsisdischarged.

Afterextendeduse,youmaynoticedustaroundthegrills

orfrontpanel.Thisiscausedbynegativeionsexitingthe

airoutlet,evidenceoftheionizer’saircleaning

effectiveness.Youcanremovethedustwithasoftbrush

orclean,dampcloth.

Largerparticlesmaybeattractedtopositivelycharged

surfacesthroughoutthehome,likewallsorfloors.

• Thismayoccurmorefrequentlywhenthefilteris

nearingtheendofitsusableproductlifeandis

unabletocaptureasmanychargedparticles.

• Excessiveamountsofpetdander,dust,orsmokemay

decreasethelifeexpectancyofthefiltersand

interferewiththeionizationprocess.

Tohelppreventparticlesfromattractingtosurfaces

throughoutyourhome:

• Youmaywanttoruntheionizerlessoften.

• Checktheconditionoffiltersmorefrequently.

CAUTION:Theionizerinthisapplianceproducesless

ozonethantheULestablishedlimitsof50ppb.However,

inhighconcentrations,ozonecanbeharmfultobirdsand

smallpets.Topreventozonebuildup,wesuggestusing

theionizerinwellventilatedareaswiththefanon.

IMPORTANT:AlwayschecktheconditionoftheAer1



filtersattherecommendedintervalsandreplacefiltersif

necessary(SeeFILTERREPLACEMENTINSTRUCTIONS).

Usingtheionizerwithdirtyfiltersmayresultindirty

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 in a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
