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. Light
Button can also be used to turn on and off the lights.
3. The BreatheSmart 45i has a Color Ring around the Power Button indicating air quality,
as measured by the particle sensor.
4. 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 LIGHT to adjust display lighting (LO, HI, or OFF). LO dims lights by 50%.
PLEASE NOTE:
The BreatheSmart 45i has 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.

KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER
When using the air purier for the rst time, we recommend that you use a higher fan speed,
such as speed three (3) or Turbo (T), for at least two hours to quickly clean the room’s air.
Then, we recommend that the air purier run continuously on speed two (2) or three (3) to
maintain air quality, or for BreatheSmart 45i, set your unit to Auto mode.
BreatheSmart 45i Features
• True HEPA ltration captures dust, allergens, and airborne pollutants
• Four fan speeds to control air circulation
• Three settings to control display lighting
• Filter change indicator light keeps replacements on schedule
• Simple and intuitive touch button controls
• Auto-off safety feature when front cover is removed
Turn The Lights Off/On

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Instruction
To avoid scratching the control panel, do not use abrasive/caustic cleaning solutions or
scrubbing 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
Prelter Cleaning
The black mesh layer on the front of the lter, known as the Prelter, captures large dust and
hair. This layer is held on with Velcro®-like strips. This Prelter can be vacuumed in place
to maintain efcient operation of the unit. You can learn more and purchase replacement
prelters here.

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.
Reset the Filter Indicator
After replacing the lter, hold the FILTER button down for ve seconds. The Red light will be
reset to Green.

lters on time is the only way to maintain an optimal level of air quality.

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 mesh layer on the front of the lter, known as the Prelter, captures large dust and
hair. This layer is held on with Velcro®-like strips. This Prelter can be vacuumed in place or
replaced with a new prelter 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.
