• Use only in the proper electrical socket type. Socket type (voltage & hertz) can be found on
the unit’s back panel label. Incorrect socket use can damage/destroy the unit. • Do not exceed
the rating of the power outlet or connection device. May cause electric shock or fire due to
excess heat generation.
• Never try to take apart or repair the unit by yourself.
• Disconnect power immediately if you notice strange sounds, smells, or smoke. • Change
your filter at the recommended interval to avoid particle and dust buildup. • Ensure filter is
correctly installed before turning on unit. Do not run unit without a filter. • Do not cover the
unit or impede airflow.
• Do not drop the unit, as this can result in damage.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord and be sure the cord is not compressed as

there is danger of fire or electric shock.

explosion or fire.
• WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a grounding-type plug that
has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. If the

USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER
Operating Your Unit:
1. Plug your air purifier into a grounded outlet.
2. Press Power Button in the center to start the air purifier. 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
purifier, press the Power Button again after the lights have turned off.
3. The Colored Light around the Power Button indicates the air quality being measured by
the particle sensor.
Color
Meaning
Blue
Low quantity of airborne particles detected
Yellow
Moderate quantity of airborne particles detected
Red
Significant quantity of airborne particles detected
4. Press ION to activate the ozone-safe ionizer. Activation of ION enhances your unit’s ability
to remove airborne particles (similar to the way dust is attracted to a TV screen). Press
ION again to turn off.
5. FILTER Indicator — The Filter indicator has 3 lights: Green, Yellow, and Red. The Green
light will be illuminated for most of the life of the filter. The Yellow light will come on shortly
before your filter should be replaced. This is the ideal time to order a new filter. The Red
light will be illuminated when it is time to replace the filter.
6. After changing the filter, hold the FILTER button down for 5 seconds. The Red light will be
reset to Green.
7. Press TIMER to have the air purifier run for a set amount of hours (either 2, 4, or 12)

before turning off.
8. Press SPEED and watch the indicator lights until desired fan speed is achieved. Most
users prefer to use the air purifier on speed 2 or 3 to balance cleaning speed and noise. If
you suspect the air is particularly dirty, you should set the speed to T (Turbo).
9. Press AUTO to set the unit on Automatic Mode. Automatic Mode will use the SmartSensor
Technology to adjust the speed of the unit depending on the amount of particles present
in the air.
10. Press and Hold LOCK for 3 seconds to Lock/Unlock the Control Panel.

KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER
When using the air purifier for the first time in a room, we recommend using a higher fan
speed, such as speed three (3) or Turbo (T), for at least two hours to clean the room’s air
initially. Then, we recommend running the air purifier continuously in Auto mode or in speeds
two (2) or three (3).
Features
• True HEPA filtration captures dust, allergens and airborne pollutants • Ionizer charges
smaller particles, causing them to clump together for improved filtration • 4 fan speeds with
a 2, 4, & 12-hour timer to control air circulation
• Automatic mode sets speed for optimal performance
• Filter change indicator light keeps replacements on schedule
• Simple and intuitive touch controls
• Auto-off safety feature when front cover is removed
• Filter designed for easy replacement
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Turn The Lights Off/On
To turn the lights off on your unit, press the Power Button. The lights will go out but the unit will
not turn off. Press any button to turn the lights back on, or press the Power Button a 2nd time
to turn the unit off completely.
Replacing The Filter
The Filter Indicator has 3 lights: Green, Yellow, and Red. The Green light will be illuminated for
most of the life of the filter. Yellow light will come on shortly before your filter should be replaced.
This is the ideal time to order a new filter. You may order a new filter at www.alen.com/filters or
by calling 1-800-630-2396. The Red light will be illuminated when it is time to replace the filter.
The filters used in Alen Air Purifiers are not designed to be washed, cleaned or otherwise
reused. Over time, the filters become overloaded with particles, decreasing their filtration
performance. We recommend regular filter replacements to extend the life of your air purifier
and maximize performance.
The black mesh layer of the filter, known as the prefilter, captures large dust and hair. This
layer is held on with Velcro®-like strips. Once removed, the Alen prefilter can be vacuumed to

maintain efficient operation of the unit.
Reset the Filter Indicator
After replacing the filter, hold the FILTER button down for 5 seconds. The Red light will be reset
to Green.

prefilter attached with Velcro®-like strips.
3. Place the used filter in a plastic bag to prevent dust from re-entering the air.

pull out the lower left or right
corner of the front cover.

2. After pulling out, lift the cover
away from the unit.
www.alen.com 1-800-630-2396 7
3. Remove the used filter
by pulling out on the pull
strings. Place the used
filter in a plastic bag to
prevent dust from
re-entering the air.
4. Take the new filter out of
the plastic bag and insert it
into the air cleaner with the
pull strings facing outward.
5. Insert the top tabs of the
front cover first and then
the lower part of the cover
will snap into place.
WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - These servicing instructions are for use by
qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing
other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
How To Clean The SmartSensor
The SmartSensor uses an infrared light to detect airborne particles. After prolonged periods of
use, dust can accumulate on the lens and affect the sensitivity of the sensor. If this occurs,
your unit will run on the highest speeds when set in Automatic mode and will not come down
to the lower speeds even after cleaning the air. To clean the sensor lens, first turn your unit off.
Wet the end of a cotton swab with water and wipe the lens with it. Dry the lens with the other
end of the cotton swab. For best performance, clean the SmartSensor lens each time you
replace your filter.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Unit will not power on.
Ensure the cord is completely inserted into purifier socket. Check that filter is pushed in all
the way and evenly seated in the unit. Firmly push top of filter frame up and in until it clicks.
Last, check that front panel is on properly (fit snugly to the purifier).
How do I reset the filter indicator lights? I put in a new filter but the red or
yellow lights are still illuminated.
After changing the filter, RESET the filter indicator by holding down the FILTER button for
5 seconds while the unit is ON. The light above the FILTER button should reset to green.
My BreatheSmart FIT50 always runs on the highest speeds when in
Automatic Mode.
The BreatheSmart FIT50 unit may not come down from the highest speeds when in Automatic
Mode for two reasons: Your air is dirty and still needs to be cleaned, or the SmartSensor lens
has dust on it and must be cleaned. See “How To Clean The SmartSensor” on page 8.
How do I find out what electrical specifications my unit needs? Please refer to
the rating label on the back of the unit. Here you will find your unit’s voltage, hertz, amps
and outlet requirements.
Can I clean the filter?
The black mesh layer on the front of the filter, known as the prefilter, captures large dust and
hair. This layer is held on with Velcro®-like strips. This prefilter can be vacuumed in place or
replaced with a new prefilter to maintain efficient operation of the unit. No other layers or parts
of the filter can be washed, cleaned, or otherwise reused. Please replace the filter regularly to
maintain optimal performance.
