HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

This model air purifier incorporates a 2-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

Stage 1: Odor Reducing Pre-Filter

Stage 2: True HEPA Filter that captures particles as small as 0.3 microns or larger

SET-UP

• Select a firm, level and flat location.
• When operating, large volumes of air are drawn to ward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent build-up of dust and other contaminants. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent permanent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where candles are burned.
• Ensure the front of the unit faces away from the closest wall or furniture.
• Ensure no grilles are blocked.

INSTALL TRUE HEPA FILTERS AND ODOR REDUCING PRE-FILTER

The True HEPA Filters and Odor Reducing Pre-FiIter are supplied within the air purifier. New air purifiers have their filters wrapped to ensure purity, and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter. (Type True HEPA Filter; Type Odor Reducing Pre-Filter or Household Gas & Odor Reducing Pre-Filter)

• Before using your new air purifier you must remove the wrappers covering the filters and Pre-Filter. Make sure the air purifier is OFF and unplugged. Press the two hand symbols () on the front grille to release it from the unit and pull the grille toward you to remove it (see Fig. 2).
  
  Grasp the sides of the filter frame near its top end and pull outward. Repeat for the second filter.
• Remove protective wrap from the filters (including the Pre-Filter) that have been supplied with your air purifier,
• Place the HEPA filters into the air purifier housing. Ensure that the removal "pull" tabs are facing outward (this will facilitate filter removal later). Place the Pre-FiIter on top of the HEPA filters. Tuck the edges of the Pre-filter into the tabs that are located around the edges of where the HEPA filters are inserted. This will hold the Pre-filter securely in place.
• Replace the front grille by placing the tabs on the bottom of the grille into the slot(s) on the unit. Gently push the top of the grille into place by pressing on the hand symbols () to secure in place.

Using the VOC Function

TAP the blue VOCSensor (Fig. 8) for automatic operation based on VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) sensed in the air.

Fig. 8 VOC Function

When the VOC Sensor mode is selected, the upper left indicator light will illuminate blue to indicate that the unit is running in automatic VOC Sensing mode. The lower right Indicator will illuminate green, orange, or red depending on the level of VOCs detected in the room by the sensor.

Green = Low level of VOCs detected, air purifier will operate in the lowest setting, Germ.

Amber = Moderate level of VOCs detected, air purifier will operate in the medium level setting, General Clean.

Red = High level of VOCs detected, air purifier will operate in the Allergen setting. The air purifier will continue to monitor the VOC levels in the room and adjust the cleaning levels as necessary.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CHANGE REMINDER

This air purifier has two electronic filter check lights to remind you when to check and replace the True-HEPA Filters and Odor Reducing Pre Filter. The "Filter" or "Pre-filter" light will illuminate when the True-HEPA filters and/or the Pre-filter needs to be replaced. These indicator lights are based on the number of hours the air purifier has been in use, and depending on the environment and contaminants in the area, the filters may need to be changed before the recommended time. (Fig. 9).

Fig. 9 Will illuminate when it is time to change HEPA filters

You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the True-HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the Odor Reducing Pre-Filters every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors and particles in the home.

To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check

After you have replaced the appropriate filters the "Check Filter or "Check Pre-Filter" light will remain on until it is reset. With the unit powered off, press the lighted button and hold for approximately 3 seconds until the light turns off. The electronic filter check is now reset. Depending on individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to replace filters more or less frequently.

NOTE: If you change the Pre-filter or HEPA Filter before the Electronic Filter Check lights are illuminated, you should still reset the indicator. With the unit plugged in and powered off, press and hold the appropriate "Filter" or "Pre-filter" button for 5 seconds. The light will flash red twice to signal that the indicator has been reset.

These cleaning intervals are intended as guidelines only. Performance of any filter media is dependent upon the concentration of contaminants going through the system. High concentrations of contaminants such as dust, pet dander and smoking will reduce the useful performance of the filter.

NOTE: None of the filters are washable. Do not immerse them in water.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My Air Purifier is starting to make noise and the air output is less. What's wrong?
The filters may be dirty. High amounts of contaminates can block the pores in the filter and stop the air from moving through it. Replace the Filters.

How long should I run my Air Purifier?
In general, the unit will be most effective when doors and windows are closed. It is recommended that you run your air purifier while you are at home to clean the air.

Can I wash any of the filters in my Air Cleaner?
No. Washing either filter will ruin it.

What are VOCs?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted from various solids and liquids such a paints, cleaning supplies, building materials, and permanent markers. Some of these compounds can have adverse short and long term health effects and consistently have higher concentrations indoors than outside.
(Source: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html)

Why did my air purifier suddenly turn on a higher setting?
Is the air purifier set to VOC Mode, or Auto-Set mode from the App? If it is, the unit may have sensed a higher level of VOCs or Allergens and have adjusted the fan speed accordingly.
