USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER
Operating Your Unit:
1. Plug your air purier into a grounded outlet.
2. Touch Power Button in the center to start the air purier. When your unit is on, the
lights will light up. To turn off the lights on your unit, press the Power Button. To turn off
the air purier, touch the Power Button again after the lights have turned off.
3. The BreatheSmart 45i has a Color Ring around the Power Button indicating air quality,
as measured by the particle sensor.
4. BreatheSmart 45i only. Press IONIZER to activate the ozone-safe ionizer. Activation of the
ionizer enhances your unit’s ability to remove airborne particles (similar to the way dust is
attracted to a TV screen). Press the ionizer button again to turn off.
5. FILTER life Indicator — There are three lights above the FILTER button: Green, Yellow
and Red. The Green light will be illuminated for most of the life of the lter. The Yellow
light will come on shortly before your lter should be replaced. This is the ideal time to
order a new lter. The Red light will be illuminated when it is time to replace the lter.
6. After changing the lter, hold the FILTER button down for ve seconds. This will reset the
Red light to Green.
7. Touch TIMER to have the air purier run for a set amount of hours (either two, four, or
twelve) before turning off.
PLEASE NOTE:
The BreatheSmart 40 and 45i have capacitive touch control panels. The buttons only
operate with a quick, light touch. Holding the buttons down will not activate the controls
properly. A chime will indicate that the control has registered your touch.

8Pure Air For Life
KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER
When using the air purier for the rst time in a room, we recommend that you use a higher fan
speed like speed three (3) or Turbo (T), for at least two hours in order to clean the room’s air
initially. Then, we recommend that the air purier run continuously on speed two (2) or three (3)
to maintain air quality or with the BreatheSmart 45i set your unit on Auto mode.
Features, BreatheSmart 40 and 45i
• HEPA style ltration captures dust, allergens and airborne pollutants
• Four fan speeds with a two, four, and twelve hour timer to control air circulation
• Filter change indicator light keeps replacements on schedule
• Simple and intuitive touch button controls
• Auto-off safety feature when front cover is removed
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Turn The Lights Off/On
To turn the lights off on your unit, touch the Power Button. The lights will go out but the unit
will not turn off. Touch any button to turn the lights back on, or touch the Power Button a
second time to turn the unit off completely.
Replacing The Filter
The Filter Indicator has three lights: Green, Yellow and Red. The Green light will be illuminated
for most of the life of the lter. Yellow light will come on shortly before your lter should be re-
placed. This is the ideal time to order a new lter. You may order a new lter at www.alen.com/
lters or by calling 1-800-630-2396. The Red light will be illuminated when it is time to replace
the lter.
The lters used in Alen Air Puriers are not designed to be washed, cleaned or otherwise
reused. Over time, the lters become overloaded with particles, decreasing their ltration per-
formance. We recommend regular lter replacements to extend the life of your air purier and
maximize performance.
The black foam layer of the lter, known as the Pre-Filter, captures large dust and hair. This
layer is held on with Velcro®-like strips. This Pre-Filter can be vacuumed, or once removed
washed, to maintain efcient operation of the unit.
Reset the Filter Indicator
After replacing the lter, hold the FILTER button down for ve seconds. The Red light will be
reset to Green.

Cleaning Instruction
To avoid scratching the control panel, do not use abrasive/caustic cleaning solutions or scrub-
bing pads. With the unit unplugged, dampen a clean towel lightly with soap and water to clean
the control panel, then dry gently with a soft cloth or paper towel. Glass cleaner (e.g. Windex)
is also OK. To avoid damaging electronic components DO NOT allow liquid to seep into the
unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
How do I reset the lter indicator lights? I put in a new lter but the red or
yellow lights are still illuminated.
After changing the lter, RESET the lter indicator by holding down the FILTER button for ve
seconds while the unit is ON. The light above the FILTER button should reset to green.
How do I nd out what electric specications my unit needs?
Please refer to the rating label on the back of the unit. Here you will nd your unit’s voltage,
hertz, amps, and outlet requirements.
Can I clean the lter?
The black foam layer of the lter, known as the Pre-Filter, captures large dust and hair. This
layer is held on with Velcro®-like strips. This Pre-Filter can be vacuumed, or once removed
washed, to maintain efcient operation of the unit. No other layers or parts of the lter can be
washed, cleaned or otherwise reused. Please replace the lter regularly to maintain optimal
performance.
I have an issue not listed in this manual.
