THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING BLUEAIR
Ready to start breathing cleaner air? First, read this User Guide to ensure that you use the
Blueair 501/Blueair 601 safely and effectively. Then plug it in, turn it on and… breathe. Don’t hear
anything? Check the blue “power on” light. Blueair is so quiet on min speed, you may not
realize it’s on. But as the patented Blueair system removes dust, pollen, smoke, gases and
odors from your indoor environment, we think you’ll notice the difference.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Blueair 501/Blueair 601 is an electrical appliance. Before using it for the first time, please

and injury.
(And keep in mind the Limited Warranty applies only if the unit is used according to instructions.)
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the Blueair 501/Blueair 601 has a grounding type plug (with
a third pin) that will only fit a grounding type outlet. If the plug does not fit your outlet, contact a
licensed electrician to install a grounded outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
To avoid electric shock and fire hazards, plug the Blueair 501/Blueair 601 directly
into an appropriate electrical outlet (see voltage label on your unit) using the cable provided.
The cable is packaged beneath the unit.

Do not allow foreign objects to enter the ventilation or exhaust openings. This may
cause electric shock or damage to the unit.
Never try to repair or adjust any of the electrical or mechanical functions on your
Blueair 501/Blueair 601 yourself. Contact your local dealer or Blueair for service
center information.
Use only authorized Blueair filters.
USING YOUR BLUEAIR
Place the unit in a location that allows air to circulate freely in, out and around the unit.
Do not place the unit:
•Directly on or against soft furnishings (such as bedding or curtains).
•Near electronically sensitive devices such as a computer (within 6˝/10cm).
•Near sources of heat (such as radiators, fireplaces or ovens).
•Near oxygen tanks or other combustible gases.
Do not let the Blueair come in contact with water. It is not designed for use outdoors or
in wet areas (such as bathrooms).
SETTINGS
When turning on the Blueair after the unit has been off, turn the speed control to max speed for
a few minutes of fast initial cleaning. Then adjust the control to the desired speed:
•Minimum speed HEPASilent™(for nighttime use)
•Moderate speed (for daytime use)
•Maximum speed (for fast initial cleaning or very polluted air)
For best results, run your Blueair 501/Blueair 601 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Continuous
operation means you get a continuous supply of clean, filtered air circulating throughout the
room.

How It Works

KEEP YOUR BLUEAIR LOOKING GOOD

HELP KEEP THE PLANET HEALTHY, TOO
At Blueair, we’re in the business of clean air. Our air purifiers are designed for maximum
improvement of indoor air, with minimum impact on the natural world.
The Blueair particle filter is made of polypropylene, which breaks down into water and car-
bondioxide when burned.
Blueair filters contain no triclosan or other chemical additives.
All major parts are made from high-quality galvanized steel.
The external parts have been powder coated for endurance and environmental protection
(with no introduction of chemical outgassing).
The Blueair 501/Blueair 601 is energy efficient.
Blueair air purifiers are built for years of use. They are also designed to be disassembled
and the components sorted and recycled.
