CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
e Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces of the air purifier. DO NOT USE WATER, GASOLINE,
POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.
e The ifD™ filter and pre-filter should be cleaned at least once every three months, or sooner depending
on the air quality of the room (See "Removing/Cleaning the ifD™ Filter" or "Cleaning the Pre-Filter"
respectively).
NOTE: If you smoke, burn candles or oil lamps in your home, it is recommended that you wash your filter
more frequently, When burned in an enclosed space, candles and oil lamps have a tendency to introduce
soot into the air.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often is cleaning required?
The ifD™ filter reset light will illuminate to indicate that the ifD™ filter should be cleaned. We
recommend cleaning the filter about once a month depending on the air quality of the room.
1 just cleaned my filter but the filter indicator is still showing it is dirty, what's wrong?
Each time you clean your filter you must reset the filter clean monitor. It is a timer driven monitor to be
used as a guideline, but does not represent the actual amount of dirt in the ifD™ filter. With the unit
running, press and hold the filter reset button for up to 10 seconds and when you let go, the filter clean
monitor should be reset.
The filter bar on my unit is completely full but my filter doesn't really look dirty.
(HHT-215, HHT-217 or HHT-219 Only)
The filter clean monitor on your unit is timer-based and does not measure the amount of particles in the
ifD™ filter. It is possible that your filter monitor could indicate that the filter is dirty but some particles
are so small that they cannot be seen but are present in the filter. We recommend cleaning the ifD™
filter {see Removing/Cleaning the ifD™ Filter in the manual).
My filter bar says my filter is still relatively clean but when 1 checked my filter it was really dirty.
(HHT-215, HHT-217 or HHT-219 Only)
In conditions where smoke, pets or air with a lot of contaminants are present it is possible that the filter
could be dirty sooner than indicated on the filter clean monitor bar. The filter clean monitor on your unit
runs on a timer and if there are more particles in your air than in an average home, your filter could
capture airborne particles sooner than indicated on the display. The monitor is intended to be used as a
guideline and individual environmental conditions will vary.
Is my Air Purifier considered an ozone generator?
No. Ozone generators produce large amounts of ozone as the primary way to clean the air. The EPA
does not endorse these products because they can cause ozone related health problems. The air
purifier does not use ozone as the primary method to clean the air. It cleans the air by using ifD™
technology (Intense Field Dielectric) which only generates trace amounts of ozone, substantially below
the limits established by the EPA and FDA.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The ionizing process used by the air purifier produces small amounts of ozone as a byproduct. The air
purifier complies with U.S. Government limits for acceptable levels of ozone {less than 50 parts per billion
by volume of air circulating through the product). People that are extremely sensitive to any ozone emitting
products, even trace amounts, should consult a physician prior to using this product.
