ABOUT FILTERS AND SERVICE LIFE
The life spans of the individual filters are:
STAGE 1 PREFILTER: 3 to 6 months
STAGE 2 HEPA FILTER: 2 to 5 years
STAGE 3 INNER BLANKET: 6 to 12 months
V.O.C. CARTRIDGE: 6 to 12 months (optional)
The useful service life of the filters is directly related to the volume of air
passed through the system and the amount of contaminants in the air.
If your indoor air contains abnormally high levels of airborne contami-
nants (such as cigarette smoke) the life of the filters may be shortened.
The HEPA filter’s particulate removal efficiency actually improves with
use as it loads up with particulates. However, as it loads up it also
becomes more difficult to move air through the system. If you notice a
significant drop in air flow from the unit, inspect the HEPA filter. If the filter
media is darkened on the outer side, the HEPA filter should be replaced.

Thank you for purchasing an Amaircare® portable air filtration system.
With proper care and maintenance, your Amaircare® system will provide
many years of reliable service, improving the quality of your air.
INSTALLATION
1. Place the unit in the area where you want the cleanest air.
2. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet. The cord has either a 110V or a
220V plug depending on the area the in which the unit was sold.
3. Turn the unit on by rotating the control dial until you hear or feel it click.
The unit will start on the “HIGH” position. To reduce the airflow continue
to rotate the control dial clockwise.
4. To turn the unit off, rotate the control dial counter-clockwise passed the
“HIGH” position until you hear or feel the click.
CAUTION
1. Make sure the cord is not in the path of people walking or where
anything can be rolled over it.
2. Do not place any objects on top of the unit or allow anyone to sit on it.
3. NEVER place any liquids or plants on the unit. Moisture could leak into
the unit and damage the filter media or electrical components.
4. The air filtration system discharges the cleaned air through the vents
near the bottom on four of the six sides. On “HIGH” the velocity of the
air coming out is high to enhance circulation throughout the area
being cleaned. If the airflow is bothersome or creates a draft, turn the
unit until the air is directed toward an unoccupied area of the room.
NOTE: You may notice a slight “new” smell from the unit when your first
turn it on. The is normal and harmless and will dissipate within a few days.
THREE-STAGE FILTRATION
STAGE 1: Prefilter
Removes large particulates
and odors. Extends the life of
the HEPA filter.
STAGE 2: HEPA filter
99.97% efficient @ 0.3 microns.
Removes dust, pollen, bacte-
ria, animal dander, attached
viruses, cigarette smoke, radon
daughters and more.
STAGE 3: V.O.C. filter
Removes odors and haz-
ardous chemicals that may
off-gas from cleaners, paints,
solvents, carpets, furniture and
other items containing syn-
thetic materials.
OPTIONAL V.O.C. CARTRIDGE FOR
HEAVY-DUTY REMOVAL OF GASES
AND ODORS
Opening the cabinet
