Vornado AC350 (AC1-0038-43, AC1-0039-43) - Whole Room Air Purifier Manual

Introduction

The Vornado Difference
Filter All The Air

An air purifier, even at 99.97%* capture rate, is only effective if it is able to pull large volumes of air through the unit and dispurse the purified air throughout the room. Vornado has combined a powerful blower with precise aerodynamics, to effectively clean all the air in the room. With Vornado's two stage Carbon and True HEPA filtration – the air leaving the unit is 99.97%* filtered of airborne particles such as dust, pollen, dander, smoke, bacteria, mold spores and dust mite debris.
*0.3 microns or larger.

True HEPA Filtration

What is CADR?
CADR stands for "Clean Air Delivery Rate," which indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by an air purifier. CADR ratings show the effectiveness of the air purifer at capturing fine particles. Higher CADR rates indicate improved performance in all room sizes.
Note: This air cleaner is suggested for use in a single, closed room up to 220 square feet. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms when all the doors and windows are closed.
Tested per ANSI/AHAM AC-1 National Standard.

Vornado Whole Room Air Purifiers Feature Precision True HEPA Calibration
Without properly calibrated airflow, products with a True HEPA Filter will not achieve their full filtration potential. Gaps, poorly sealed filter housings, and excessive air velocity all reduce the effectiveness of the product. Independent testing laboratory verifies that the precise calibration of a Vornado Air Purifier allows it to perform at True HEPA standards.

   Note: User environments will differ. The filter replacement time is based on average use situations, if you are using the air cleaner in a more demanding environment, you may need to change your filter more frequently. In less polluted environments the filter life may extend beyond the notification.

Filter Replacement

Genuine Vornado Filters Are Recommended
Peak performance is only realized when genuine Vornado Carbon and HEPA filters are used. Others may claim to be compatible with Vornado units, but the Vornado Air Purifier is calibrated to achieve a 99.97% capture rate of particles 0.3 microns or larger, only when used with Vornado Filters.

How To Replace Your Filters

1. Unplug unit.
2. Remove Front Panel by lifting up and away from unit.
   
   Note: The Front Panel is held in place by magnets, you will need to lift the Front Panel hard enough to overcome the resistance of the magnets.
3. Remove the Plastic Support Filter Frame by pulling on the center tabs (A). You may need to flex the Plastic Support Filter Frame slightly to release the tabs at the top and bottom.
   
4. Remove and discard used Filters. Simply take hold of the Carbon Filter at any place along the perimeter and remove. To remove the HEPA Filter, take hold of the tab (Figure 1) and pull to release. Replace with genuine Vornado Filters. Place the Filters in the unit and gently press around the perimeter of the Filter to ensure secure placement (Figure 2).

   Note: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other chemicals for cleaning.
2. Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth.
   
3. Dust or vacuum the interior and along the sides. It is recommended to clean the interior when the filters are changed.

User Tips

1. Keep retail carton to store unit when not in use.
2. Use the hand holds on either side of the unit for easy carrying.
   
3. For best results, position the front of the unit (side with logo) towards the center of the room, leaving at least a 6 inch distance away from walls or furniture on every side.

Note: For optimum airflow, air outlet should be unobstructed. Ensure curtains and other items are far enough away from the unit to not be pulled in side inlets or interfere with airflow.
