IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
ALWAYS KEEP THIS MANUAL HANDY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and WARNINGS: The failure to follow any of the important safeguards, warnings, or instructions for safe use is a misuse of the OxyPure that can void your warranty and create the risk of serious injury. When using the OxyPure, basic safety precautions should always be followed.

1. ONLY use the OxyPure for its intended purpose.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT immerse the cord, plug, or any part of the OxyPure in water or any other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when the OxyPure is used by or near children. The OxyPure is not intended for use by children, persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or those who lack expertise or knowledge of this device.
4. DO NOT operate the OxyPure with a damaged cord, plug, after any malfunction, or if the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way. Contact Customer Service at 1-877-689-2838 or email help@nuwavenow.com for more information.
5. Discard the protective plastic covering the power plug before use.
6. DO NOT run the cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or other coverings.
7. DO NOT route the cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange the cord away from high-traffic areas where it will not pose a tripping hazard.
8. DO NOT plug the OxyPure into an outlet or power strip that is being used by other appliances.
9. Remove any dust or water from the plug, if needed.
10. ALWAYS set up the OxyPure on a flat, stable surface.

12. Leave at least 2-3 feet of space between the OxyPure's vents and any walls.
13. DO NOT install the OxyPure near a heating device, flammable or combustible gases or vapors, or in areas exposed to moisture or water.
14. DO NOT operate the OxyPure on its side.
15. DO NOT place objects on top of the OxyPure.
16. DO NOT sit or stand on, or lean against, the OxyPure.
17. Alteration or modification of any part of the OxyPure, or the use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, may cause fire, injury, or damage to property.
18. As with most electrical units, electrical parts are live even when the OxyPure is off. Be sure the OxyPure is unplugged when assembling.
19. DO NOT use the OxyPure in a factory or industrial setting where machine oil may be present in the air.
20. Turn the power OFF on the OxyPure before unplugging it.
21. Unplug the OxyPure from outlet when the unit is not in use or will be left unattended for an extended period of time; before putting on or taking off parts; when removing or replacing the filters; and before cleaning.
22. DO NOT operate the OxyPure if an abnormal sound or motion is detected.
23. If a hard or foreign object comes into contact with the fan, do not operate. Turn off and unplug the OxyPure.
24. Inspect the OxyPure for any loose or missing parts before and after each use. If parts are loose, damaged, or missing, contact Customer Service at 1-877-689-2838 or email help@nuwavenow. com.

2. ALWAYS use rubber gloves when handling the filters.
3. When removing dirty filters, ALWAYS do so outside or in a well ventilated area.
4. ALWAYS replace your filters with NuWave filters made for your model of air purifier.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

Power-Supply Cords

A short, detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer, detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over any countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally.
3. The OxyPure should be operated on a separate electrical outlet from other operating appliances due to wattage limitations.

	AIR QUALITY	The AIR QUALITY indicator turns on as soon as the unit is activated, displaying the current air quality with 4, color-coded Air Quality levels, going from green (clean) to orange, burgundy, and finally red (dirty).

NOTICE
To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT perform any service or maintenance on this appliance except for that which is contained in these instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS

AUTO Mode

AUTO Mode runs the OxyPure automatically in accordance with the current air quality. To use it:

1. Tap AUTO/ECO once to turn on AUTO mode. The upper half circle LED will turn on to indicate that AUTO Mode is active.
2. The unit will operate, automatically adjusting the Fan Speed according to current air quality, increasing when the air is dirty, decreasing as the air gets cleaner.
3. When you wish to deactivate AUTO Mode, simply press AUTO/ECO again. The OxyPure will revert to manual FAN SPEED Mode and run at the lowest fan speed.

Note
Regardless of operating mode, pressing AUTO/ ECO once will turn the mode on, and pressing it again will turn the mode off.

AUTO and FAN SPEED

You cannot use the FAN SPEED button while in AUTO Mode because pressing FAN SPEED in that case will take you out of AUTO Mode and return you to manual FAN SPEED Mode.

While in manual FAN SPEED Mode, if you press AUTO/ECO, the OxyPure will switch to AUTO Mode, and it will remain in AUTO Mode until changed again.

AUTO and TIMER

While the OxyPure is running in AUTO Mode, you can set the unit's operating time by pressing the TIMER button, setting a time limit of up to 12 hours.

AUTO and TURBO

You can use AUTO Mode and TURBO Mode together, running in TURBO Mode for a time and then switching to AUTO Mode, running at the lowest Fan Speed. See the following page for more information.

ECO Mode

Like AUTO Mode, ECO Mode also responds to changes in Air Quality. However, because it does not run the fan continuously, ECO Mode is a real energy- and money-saver. To use it:

1. Press and hold the AUTO/ECO button for 1 second. The OxyPure will beep, the lower half circle LED will turn on to indicate that ECO Mode is active while the rest of the panel goes dark, and the fan will turn off.
2. When the air quality is bad (PM2.5 level over 50), the OxyPure will turn on automatically and go into AUTO Mode. The Power LED will be lit yellow, and AUTO/ECO LED will be lit white.
3. When the air quality is good (PM2.5 level under 5), the OxyPure will automatically turn off again.be turned off automatically.

To quit ECO Mode, press and hold AUTO/ECO for 1 second.

Measuring Air Quality: The OxyPure Sensors

The OxyPure measures the indoor Air Quality in your home using a PM2.5 benchmark for particle pollution. "PM" stands for "Particulate Matter", an airborne mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets. "2.5" is the particle size in microns. So, PM2.5 describes fine, easily inhalable particles like dust, pollen, mold, smoke, organic compounds and metals.

The sensors measure these particles in the air, display the results on the control panel, and activate and adjust the fan to eliminate any Air Quality issues.

Did you know...?

HEPA filters were developed in the 1940s to protect lab workers on the Manhattan Project from the very HEPA Filter Basics, LadyofHats, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons dangerous radioactive dust their work was generating. They work like this: As air is pushed through them, any particles are trapped in the fine mesh of the filter and will not be rereleased into the air. These particles are as small as 0.3 microns, or 0.00011811 inches. That's a particle that is a little over 23 times smaller than a human hair and a True HEPA filter, l ike those in the OxyPure HEPA, will capture 99% of particles that size or larger!

AUTO MODE • ECO MODE

MANUAL FAN SPEED

This is the basic operating mode for the OxyPure, the one that activates the first time you start the unit, allowing you to manually operate the Fan Speed without worrying about the automatic modes or settings. There're 4 Fan Speeds:
