Operating Your Unit

3. The Color Ring around the Power Button indicates the air quality being measured by the particle sensor.

4. Press IONIZER to activate the ozone-safe ionizer. Activation of the ionizer enhances your unit's ability to remove airborne particles (similar to the way dust is attracted to a TV screen). Press the ionizer button again to turn off.
5. FILTER life Indicator — There are three lights above the FILTER button: Green, Yellow, and Red. The Green light will be illuminated for most of the life of the filter. The Yellow light will come on shortly before your filter should be replaced. This is the ideal time to order a new filter. The Red light will be illuminated when it is time to replace the filter.
6. After changing the filter, hold the FILTER button down for five seconds. The Red light will be reset to Green.
7. Press TIMER to have the air purifier run for a set amount of hours (either two, four, or twelve) before turning off.

KNOW YOUR PRODUCT

When using the air purifier for the first time in a room, we recommend that you use a higher fan speed like speed four (4) or Turbo (T), for at least two hours in order to clean the room's air initially. Then, we recommend that the air purifier run continuously on speed two (2) or three (3) or be set on Auto mode.

Features

• True HEPA filtration captures dust, allergens, and airborne pollutants
• 5 fan speeds with a two, four, and 12+ hour timer to control air circulation
• Filter change indicator light keeps replacements on schedule
• Simple and intuitive touch button controls
• Auto-off safety feature when front cover is removed

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Turn The Lights Off/On

To turn the lights off on your unit, touch the Power Button. The lights will go out but the unit will not turn off. Touch any button to turn the lights back on, or touch the Power Button a second time to turn the unit off completely.

Replacing The Filter

The Filter Life Indicator has 3 lights: Green, Yellow, and Red. The Green light will be illuminated for most of the life of the filter. Yellow light will come on shortly before your filter should be replaced. This is the ideal time to order a new filter. You may order a new filter at www.alen.com/filters or by calling 1-800-630-2396. The Red light will be illuminated when it is time to replace the filter.

The filters used in Alen Air Purifiers are not designed to be washed, cleaned or otherwise reused. Over time, the filters become overloaded with particles, decreasing their filtration performance. We recommend regular filter replacements to extend the life of your air purifier and maximize performance.

The screen layer of the filter, known as the Pre-Filter, captures large dust and hair. This layer can be vacuumed periodically to maintain efficient operation of the unit.

Reset the Filter Indicator

After replacing the filter, hold the FILTER button down for 5 seconds. The Red light will be reset to Green.

Cleaning the Control Panel

To avoid scratching the control panel, do not use abrasive/caustic cleaning solutions or scrubbing pads. With the unit unplugged, dampen a clean towel with soap and water to clean the control panel, then dry gently with a soft cloth or paper towel. Glass cleaner (e.g. Windex) is also OK. To avoid damaging electronic components** DO NOT allow liquid to seep into the unit.
