Clean Air Delivery Rate

From air cleaner to air cleaner, compare the CADR numbers. First look at suggested room size. Then refer to
the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers. The higher the number, the faster the unit filters the air.
AC5300 air cleaner is suggested for use in a single, closed room up to 169 square feet.
AC5350 air cleaner is suggested for use in a single, closed room up to 171 square feet.
Higher CADR rates provide improved performance in all room sizes. Portable air cleaners will be much
more effective in rooms when all the doors and windows are closed.
TObACCO SMOkE: AC5300 = 109+ AC5350 = 110+
This value represents performance that can be expected within the first 72 hours of operation. Subsequent
use may vary with use.
Tested per ANSI/AHAM AC-1 National Standard
What is CADR?
CADR stands for "Clean Air Delivery Rate," which indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by
an air purifier. CADR ratings show the effectiveness of how efficient the air purifier is at
capturing fine particules from things like tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room.
NOTE: Do NOT stick any foreign objects or your fingers inside of the unit.
CAUTION: Do NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner, harsh cleaners, etc. on and/or in the unit
while cleaning as they will damage the product. NEVER use alcohol or other solvents.
