3 Hrs: When selected, the air cleaner will run for 3 hours continuously and then return to the most recent mode of Auto, Continuous, or Off. This option only cleans the air when needed; an example would be after vacuuming
24 Hrs: When seasonal allergies spike and outside air quality is at its worst, choose this option. Your air cleaner will run continuously for 24 hours, then return to the most recent mode of Auto, Continuous, or Off
