SAFETY PRECAUTION
Carefully read and retain all instructions before
using the air purifi er.
• To avoid fi re or shock hazard, check that the
voltage on the product corresponds to your
electricity supply and plug directly into an
electrical outlet.
• To avoid fi re hazard, never put the cord under
rugs, or near any heat source.
• Carefully discard any plastic wrapping that
was used for the packaging.
• Do not use the air purifi er outside.
• Do not place the unit near any heat source or
in direct sunlight.
• Always unplug the air purifi er before
removing the grill, changing the fi lters,
cleaning the air purifi er or whenever it is not
in use.
• Do not use in or around water or any other
liquids. Do not attempt to wash the unit under
running water.
• Use appliance only for intended household
use as described in this manual.
• Ensure that all air openings are not restricted
or covered in any way.
• Do not place anything on top of the unit.
• Never insert any object into any openings.
• Do not use the air purifi er if any part is
missing or damaged in any way.
• Do not attempt to repair or adjust any
mechanical functions of this unit. If the unit
becomes damaged return to the place of
purchase or phone the helpline number on
the back of this leafl et.
• If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualifi ed person
in order to avoid hazard.
• The air purifi er contains no user serviceable
parts and should the product suffer damage
or breakdown it must be returned to the
manufacturer or its service agent.
• Should the air purifi er stop working, fi rst
check the fuse in the plug (UK only) or
fuse/circuit breaker at the distribution
board is operating, before contacting the
manufacturer or service agent.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• CAUTION: To Prevent Risk of Electric
Shock, Remove Cord Plug from Outlet
Before Opening Appliance. To Prevent
Risk of Fire, Inspect and Clean Equipment
Regularly as Noted in This Manual.
HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
Dirty, dust laden air is drawn through the front
of the air purifi er and through the multi-stage
fi ltration system.
1. The washable foam pre-fi lter captures larger
particles and extends the HEPA-type fi lter’s
replacement cycle.
2. The HEPA-type fi lter entraps 99% of all
smaller visible and non-visible particles down
to 2 microns in size.
3. The independent ioniser naturally improves
performance and helps freshen the air.
PRODUCT FEATURES
High, Medium and Low settings -
For optimum air fi ltration, operate your air purifi er
continuously on the Medium ( 2 ) setting. Its
rugged motor has been designed to give many
years of use. For quieter operation (such as in a
bedroom), select the Low ( 1 ) setting. When high
levels of air pollution are present, select the High
( 3 ) setting.
Filter Service Indicator -
The fi lter service indicator eliminates guesswork
by letting you know when it is time to replace
the HEPA-type fi lter. The fi lter light ring (I) will
illuminate when it is time to replace the HEPA-type
fi lter.
After the fi lter has been replaced, reset by
pressing down three seconds on the fi lter reset
button (H). Note that the fi lter light ring will blink
three times when the unit is turned on and after
being reset.
Dual position -
The unit can be placed either upright or on its side,
fl ush against the wall. When positioning the unit
be sure that the air inlet grill, fi lters and air outlet
grill are not blocked, to ensure maximum air fl ow.
Ioniser -
This appliance has an independent ioniser
feature which, when turned on, releases negative
ions into outgoing fi ltered air to help the air
purifi cation process.
What Are Ions?
Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or
negative charge. They exist naturally around us:
in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and
negative ions are colourless, odourless, and
completely harmless.
How Does The Ioniser Work?
Negative ions help air purifi cation by attaching
themselves to very small airborne particles in the
room. These particles take on a negative charge
and may join with positively charged particles
such as dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander to
form larger particles. The larger particles are then
more easily captured by the fi lter system.
Important Notes:
Your ioniser may produce an occasional popping
or cracking sound. This is normal and occurs
when a small buildup of ions is discharged.
After extended use, you may notice dust around
the grills or front panel.
• This is caused by negative ions exiting the air
outlet, evidence of the ioniser’s air cleaning
effectiveness.
• You can remove the dust with a soft brush or
clean, damp cloth.
Larger particles may be attracted to positively
charged surfaces throughout the home, like walls
or fl oors.
• This may occur more frequently when the
fi lter is nearing the end of its useful product
life and unable to capture as many charged
particles.
• Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or
smoke may decrease the life expectancy of
the fi lter(s) and interfere with the ionisation
process.
To help prevent particles from attracting to
surfaces throughout your home:
• You may want to run the ioniser less often.
• Check the condition of the fi lter(s) more
frequently.
CAUTION: The ioniser in this appliance
produces less ozone than the UL* established
limits of 50ppb. However, in high concentrations,
ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets.
To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the
ioniser in well ventilated areas with the fan on.
*tested and listed by the Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc.
PLEASE NOTE: It is important to change the
HEPA-type fi lter at recommended intervals. Using
the ioniser in conjunction with dirty fi lters may
result in dirty particles exiting the air purifi er and
being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture and
other household objects. These dirty particles
may prove very diffi
cult to remove.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully unpack your air purifi er.
2. Select a fi rm level place where there are
no obstructions to the air inlet (front grill) or
fi ltered air outlet (top of the unit).
OPERATING
1. Plug into a suitable 220 – 240V electrical
outlet.
2. Select the required operating speed: High
( 3 ), Medium ( 2 ), Low ( 1 ) by turning the
knob.
3. To release negative ions into the fi ltered air,
press the ioniser button (
) and the light
will illuminate.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Turn the air purifi er off and unplug it before
cleaning.
2. The outside of the air purifi er can be cleaned
with a soft, clean dampened cloth.
3. The fi ltered air outlet on the top of the unit can
be cleaned of dust with a small, soft brush.
4. If you wish to clean the inside of the air
purifi er, please only use a dry, soft cloth to
wipe it down.
