Features
Air Filtration Process (Fig. 1)
Air enters through the front cover (A) on the air purifier. The pre-filter (B)
removes large, lint-like particles. The second filter (C) provides true HEPA
filtration, removing particles as small as 0.009 micron in size. The odour
filter (D) reduces objectionable smells, such as tobacco, pet, and cooking
odours. Filtered air is discharged upward through the grill in the back of the
housing (E).

Installation and Set-up
Choosing the Location
Your air purifier can be placed directly against a wall. The housing design
ensures proper clearance between the air purifier and the wall to allow full
circulation of purified air. The air purifier can also be placed in the center of
a room, or in a corner, with no change in effectiveness.
For maximum effectiveness, use the air purifier in a room that’s 36 m2or
less. For larger rooms, multiple air purifiers should be used.
Important: Do not locate the air purifier in front of a heating vent. Also, make sure the location
you select will allow the cord to easily reach a wall outlet. The cord is 3.05
meters long.
Preparing the Filters for Operation
The ATMOSPHERE™ Air Purifier uses three filters–pre-filter, HEPA filter,
and odour filter. The HEPA and odour filters are shipped in plastic bags to
minimize the spread of carbon dust. Prior to using the air purifier, the plas-
tic bags must be removed and the filters properly re-installed.
Removing the Filters
1. To access the filters, remove the front cover from the air purifier using the
finger tabs located on each side of the air purifier–near the top (Fig. 2).
Steady the air purifier by first placing your thumbs on the outside edges
of the front display label. Remove the front cover by gently pulling on the
tabs with your fingers. Then, pull off the bottom of the cover.
2. The pre-filter is attached to the outside of the HEPA Filter. Remove the
combined pre- and HEPA filters by squeezing the two tabs located on either
side of the HEPA filter frame (near the top) until they unlatch (Fig. 3a).
3. Swing the filters out and away from the housing (Fig. 3).

4. Pull on the side tabs to remove the pre-filter from the HEPA filter
(Fig. 4).
5. Remove the odour filter by pulling straight out (Fig. 5).
Installing the Filters
1. Remove the odour filter from its plastic bag (Fig. 6) and carefully replace
the filter all the way back inside the air purifier (Fig. 7).
Note: Carbon dust from the odour filter may stick to the bag during shipping. When
handling the odour filter and its packaging, be very careful that carbon dust
does not stain your clothes, furniture, or carpet.

2. Remove the HEPA filter from its plastic bag (Fig. 8).
3. Reattach the pre-filter by sliding the left two tabs into the slots in the
frame of the HEPA filter (Fig. 9a).
4. Slide the right two tabs into the slots in the frame of the HEPA filter
(Fig. 9).
5. With the pre-filter facing out, reinstall the combined filter assembly by
first placing the bottom of the frame into the slots at the bottom of the
housing (Fig. 10a).
6. Swing the filters in place making sure the two tabs on the frame fit into
the slots on each side of the housing (Fig. 10).
7. Reattach the front cover by aligning the four black pegs on the back of the
cover with the four corresponding holes on the housing (Fig 11a). Starting
with the top two, push the four black pegs into the holes (Fig. 11).

Operating Instructions
Getting Power
Put unit plug into socket on base of Air Purifier (Fig. 12).
Operating Modes
Your air purifier has four modes of operation, controlled by five buttons on
the control panel. Two modes provide continuous operation, and two provide
timed periods of operation. The four modes are described in Operating Modes
table; the functions of the five buttons are summarized in Control Panel
Functions table.
OPERATING MODES TABLE
NOTE: For maximum air cleaning effectiveness, continuous operation is recommended.
A timed operation is selected when you want the air purifier to operate for
a set amount of time at a specified speed.
CONTINUOUS OPERATION
MANUAL
Mode
Provides continuous operation until you turn air purifier
off or change to another mode. Fan speed remains the
same until you change it manually.
AUTO
Mode
Provides continuous operation until you turn air purifier
off or change to another mode. Fan speed automatically
changes in response to input from the particle sensor: the
dirtier the air, the higher the fan speed.
TIMER
Mode
Operates for a specified time period, which you select, at
a fan speed you select. At the end of the selected time
(from ½ – 12 hours), air purifier turns off.
TURBO
Mode
Provides a burst of cleaning power. Air purifier operates
at highest speed (turbo) for 30 minutes, then turns off or
returns to the previous mode and speed.
TIMED OPERATION

Control Panel
The five control buttons on your air purifier control panel (Fig. 13) enable
you to select the desired mode of operation and to manually change fan
speed and timer setting. The result of a button-press depends in part on
whether the air purifier is already operating and as well as the mode it
is currently in. A complete summary of functions and responses as each
button is pressed are listed in Control Panel Functions table.
Control Panel Button Functions
Button Functions: When you press any of the control panel buttons, the air
purifier will beep to let you know that an action was taken. When the POWER,
AUTO, or TURBO buttons are activated, they also light up; for the SPEED
and TIMER functions, their setting-level displays light up instead.
1. Timer: Programs the air purifier to operate for a pre-determined time
ranging from ½ hour to 12 hours. Repeated pressing of the TIMER
button while the air purifier is operating changes the timer setting, one
step at a time, to the next setting in the sequence: ½ hr., 2 hrs., 4 hrs.,
8 hrs., 12 hrs., OFF, ½ hr…. The timer setting you select is shown by
the number of lighted indicators in the timer display. While the timer is
operating, the number of lighted indicators decreases to reflect the time
remaining before the air purifier shuts off.
2. Speed: Selects one of the five operating speeds of the air purifier.
Repeated pressing of the SPEED button while air purifier is operating
changes the fan speed, one step at a time, to the next speed in sequence
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1…). The fan speed at which the air purifier is operating
is shown by the number of lighted indicators in the speed display.
3. Turbo: Provides a burst of cleaning power. Air purifier operates at highest
speed (setting 5) for 30 minutes, then turns off or returns to the previous
mode and speed.
4. Auto: Provides continuous operation until you turn the air purifier off or
change to another mode. Fan speed automatically changes in response to
input from the particle sensor: the dirtier the air, the faster the fan runs.
5. Power: Turns the air purifier on and off.
