How the Air Cleaner Works
Five Stages to Cleaner, Fresher Air
The air cleaner fan circulates room air through the unit's
five different processing stages to help remove pollutants
and household odors.
1. Large particles like hair and lint are trapped by the
(washable) Pre-Filter.
2. Smaller particles - dust, smoke, pollen, etc. - pass
through the (washable) Electronic Filter where they
receive an electrical charge.
3. The charged particles are attracted to a series of
alternately charged aluminum plates. These particles
remain in the Electronic Filter until removed by
washing.
4. The air then passes through a Charcoal Filter that
helps remove household odors.
5. As the final step in the process, the Negative lon
Generator helps freshen stale air before it is circulated
back into the room through the top of the unit.

The air cleaner can be used in any room in the house or in
any workspace. Be sure to place it so that air can freely
circulate into the front grill and out the top of the unit. The
unit should never be placed on soft surfaces such as beds,
sofas or carpeting; near computers, radios or TV's; or near
sources of heat (such as stove tops or ovens). The unit
should be placed at least 6-8 inches from a wall.
Carefully remove the unit from the protective carton and the
plastic bag covering the unit. Plug it into a standard house-
hold electrical outlet. (For your convenience, there is a
label on the bottom of the unit indicating electrical specifi-
cations and power consumption.)

Operation
The operation of the unit is very simple. Turn it on by
setting the rotary switch to the desired speed - High,
Medium, or Whisper Quiet. (Dry is provided to assist in
drying the filters after cleaning.) The Clean Air light (green)
indicates that the filter is on and working properly.
At any of the three speeds (High, Medium or Whisper
Quiet) you can get an extra power boost by moving the
rocker switch on the control panel from the Normal to the .
Super Clean position. Although you won't hear a difference,
the Super Clean position can be used to increase the
cleaning efficiency of the unit.
The speed should be set on High for one minute before switching
to the desired speed to initially start-up the unit.
