NTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Kenmore HEPA
Air Cleaning system. HEPA is an acronym for High
Efficiency Particulate Air, which describes a fibrous
media designed to remove 99.97% of particulates of 0.3
microns or larger in size. A micron is one millionth of a
meter. For example, a human hair is approximately.100
microns in diameter, while pollen and plant spores are
greater than 1 micron in diameter. Air p0[lution in all
forms is detrimental to your health. Air pollution can and
does exist in our homes. The Kenmore HEPAA_r
Cleaner has been designed to thoroughly dean the 2ir
which WE CAN CONTROL, the air within our homes.
With your Kenmore HEPA Air Cleaning system, you can
pro-vide clean and healthy air to your family, air that is
free of smoke, dust, pollen and other pollutants.
Dirty, dusty, smoke and pollen ladened air is forced
through ourthree stage filtering system and then passes
through our IONIZER before it leaves the HEPA Air
Cleaning System:
Stage 1 - Pre..Filter.- Traps large particles like dust and
pet hairs.
Stage 2-Activated Carbon Filtration layer- Remove..4 :-.
odors and harmful gases.
Stage 3 .. HEPA Filter- The Hepa FilterwiI1 help remove
the pollen and other airborne particulates that affect
people who suffer with allergies and upper respiratory
problems.
Electronic IONIZER- Prior to exiting the air cleaning
system, the air is exposed to an IONIZER which places
a negative charge on any remaining particulate. The
negative charge given to these particulates enables
them to be trapped by the system when they pass
through again. A further benefit,of the IONIZER is that
it imparts to indoor air a sense of outdoor air"freshness".
This HEPA filter helps remove the pollen and other
airborne particulates that affect people who suffer with "
allergies and upper respiratory problems.
We highly recommend that you utilize the Kenmore
HEPA air cleaning system 24 hours each day to ensu're
that the air circulating through your room is continuously
being cleaned and filtered.
