USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER

Operating Your Unit:

1. Plug your air purifier into a grounded outlet.
2. Press POWER to start the air purifier. When your unit is on, the control panel screen will light up. To stop the air purifier, press POWER and the screen will turn off.
3. Press SPEED and watch the indicator lights until desired fan speed is achieved.

4. Press TIMER to have the air purifier automatically turn off in a set amount of hours. Up to twelve hours.
5. Select ION to activate the ozone-safe ionizer. Activation of the built-in IONIZER can enhance your unit's ability to remove airborne particles (similar to the way dust is attracted to a TV screen) and keep the air fresh. Press ION again to turn off.
6. Filter replacement indicator – Light bar will progressively illuminate as filter collects particles. There are two green, two yellow, and one red bar. Each bar represents approximately one month of continuous operation. Once all five bars are fully illuminated (red being the last), it is time to change the filter.
7. After changing the filter, RESET the filter indicator by holding down RESET while the unit is ON until the illuminated bars disappear. To reach the button, use a pin or extended paperclip.
8. Press UV to activate the built-in ultraviolet light. Press UV again to turn off.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Replacing The Filter
The filters used in all 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 (at least every 6 months with normal use) to extend the life of your air purifier and maximize performance.
The black foam layer of the filter, known as the prefilter, captures large dust and hair. This layer is held on with Velcro^®-like strips. Once removed, the Alen Prefilter can be vacuumed to maintain efficient operation of the unit.
