Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for

household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance

has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that

reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug

fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by

modifying the plug in any way or using an

adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, have an electri-

cian replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appli-

ance was selected to reduce the hazards

of becoming tangled in or tripping over a

longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary

an approved extension cord may be used.

The electrical rating of the extension cord

must be equal to or greater than the rating

of the appliance. Care must be taken to

arrange the extension cord so that it will

not drape over the countertop or tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or

accidentally tripped over. Route the electri-

cal or extension cord clear of furniture to

prevent damage from pinching.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or damage to property,

follow these instructions carefully. When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions

should be followed, including the following:

Parts and Features

About Your Air Purifier

The air purifier functions as an

air cleaner by helping to remove

particulates (such as pet dander,

dust, pollen, mold and mildew

spores, and smoke) from the air.

The air is cleaned in three stages:

1. A fan draws air through the sides of

the front panel of the air purifier.

2. For the air that passes through the fil-

ter, the HEPA filter removes particles

as small as 0.3 microns at 99.7%

effectiveness.

3. The purified air is then released

through the back of the unit.

This product earned the ENERGY STAR by

meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set

by the US EPA. US EPA does not endorse

any manufacturer claims of healthier indoor

air from the use of this product.

The energy efficiency of this ENERGY

STAR-qualified model is measured based

on a ratio between the model’s CADR for

dust and the electrical energy it consumes—

or CADR/Watt.

outlet grills with drapes, curtains,

or blinds. This may cause reduced

performance.

• Do not use in a kitchen, garage, or

area with grease, oil, or chemicals

such as solvents or insecticides.

• Do not place on or near heat

sources such as stoves, radiators,

or heaters, or in direct sunlight.

interference, do not place on or near,

or plug into the same outlet as TVs,

baby monitors, or cordless phones.

DO:

• Place the air purifier on a flat, stable

surface.

• Place the air purifier near an electrical

outlet. Make sure that the air purifier

and the cord do not present tripping

hazards.

• Select a central location with

adequate air circulation.

• Turn off and unplug the air purifier

before moving or servicing it or if it

will not be used for several days.

• Route the electrical cord clear of

furniture to prevent damage from

pinching.

select models only) – When the air

purifier is first turned on, the air qual-

ity sensor will analyze the air to

determine the current air quality. It

may take up to one minute to acti-

vate the sensor. The sensor will then

continue to monitor and show the air

quality (poor, fair, or good) in a bar

graph in the display.

Auto – Sensor automatically adjusts

the fan speed for the most effective

air purification.

2. Power On Indicator – Lights when

unit is on.

3. Fan Speed Knob – Turn the fan

speed knob to the desired setting.

• Off

• WhisperClean

™

– Use for quiet

operation or for constant low-

speed filtration.

• Med (medium) – Provides a higher

fan speed; use to quickly filter

dust, pollen, smoke, etc., from a

room.

• QuickClean

™

– Provides high-

speed filtration when more

immediate cleaning is desired.

• Auto – Functions with the air quali-

ty sensor and automatically selects

the fan speed depending on the air

quality detected. This is the normal

setting for continuous use.

minimal maintenance. The following instructions will help you maximize the life

and efficiency of your air purifier.

wWARNING

• Always unplug before cleaning.

• Do not immerse in water or other liquid.

Cleaning and Caring for the Air Purifier

NOTE: It is important to replace the

HEPA filter every six months and to

clean front panel regularly.

The HEPA filter should last approxi-

mately 6 months with continuous use,

less in areas with a high level

of airborne particles such as dust,

pollen, mold and mildew spores, pet

dander, and smoke.

To replace the HEPA filter:

1. Turn off and unplug air purifier.

Remove magnetic front panel to

access filter. Remove the used HEPA

filter by gripping the sides and pulling

outward. Discard the used filter. It

cannot be cleaned.

2. Obtain a replacement HEPA filter.

Insert the unwrapped HEPA filter into

the air purifier. Position the airflow

arrow (located on the filter) pointing

into the unit.

NOTE: Improper filter installation will

result in poor air filtration.

3. Replace magnetic front panel.

To clean the air purifier:

• Wipe enclosure, control panel, and

cord with a damp cloth or sponge.

• The front panel can be removed

and washed in warm, soapy water.

Do not place in dishwasher. Make

sure the panel is completely dry

before reinstalling.

• The outlet grill on the back of the unit

should simply be dusted.

• No part of the air purifier should be

placed in a dishwasher.

To Order Replacement Parts

The Air Quality Sensor (select models only)

The air quality sensor is a rectangular

compartment located on the side of

the air purifier. It contains both the

sensor/sensor lens and the sensor

cleaner (see Fig. 1). The sensor cleaner

is soft and specially shaped to fit inside

the sensor/sensor lens area. Monthly

cleaning of the sensor/sensor lens is

recommended.

Cleaning the Sensor/

Sensor Lens:

1. Open the compartment door and

remove the sensor cleaner. If sensor

cleaner is difficult to grasp, pull on

the black ribbon underneath to help

release it.

2. Holding one end of the sensor clean-

er, push the piece in and out of the

sensor/sensor lens opening several

times. This will clean the area.

3. Slide the sensor cleaner back into its

storage compartment and close the

air quality sensor door. Make sure

the compartment door is fully closed

or the air purifier may not operate

properly.

Sensor Cleaner

*Each air purifier is designed to filter

the room air five times per hour at

high speed. Factors such as room

shape and ceiling height can affect

this rate. It is normal that the air

flow will be reduced as the filter

becomes clogged. Replace the

HEPA filter as needed.

Troubleshooting Guide

The following section provides the solutions to many common problems and

questions. If your air purifier is not working correctly, review these solutions

first. If your problem is still not solved after reviewing this guide, call our toll-free

customer service number, listed on the front cover of this manual, for assistance.

Reduced Air Flow or Poor Filtering

• The intake or outlet grill may be

blocked. Make sure nothing is in

front of or directly behind the air

purifier.

• The HEPA filter may be clogged.

Replace if necessary.

The Air Purifier Will Not Turn On

• Is the air purifier plugged into a

powered outlet?

• Is the fan speed knob turned on?

The Air Purifier Changes Speed

• Air quality sensor models are designed to sense the level of contaminants in the

air and adjust the fan speed to provide the most effective air purification possible.

If the air quality sensor control is set to Auto, it will automatically change fan

speeds to adjust for changing air quality.
