Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug. This type of plug has one
blade wider than the other. The plug will
fit into an electrical outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature intended to help
reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
If a longer cord is necessary, an
approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than
the rating of the air purifier. Care must
be taken to arrange the extension cord so
that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
Route the electrical or extension cord
clear of furniture to prevent damage
from pinching.

About Your Air Purifier
The air purifier functions as an
air cleaner by helping to disinfect
airborne bacteria and removing
particulates from the air.
The air is cleaned in three stages:
1. A fan draws air through the intake
grille on the front of the air purifier.
Then it passes through the carbon
pre-filter which traps large dust
particles and reduces odors.
2. The white HEPA filter then removes
particles as small as 0.3 microns
from the air at 99.97% effectiveness.
3. The clean air is then exposed to
germicidal-grade ultraviolet light to
reduce the level of airborne bacteria,
molds, and viruses. The purified air is
then released through the outlet grille
on the top of the unit.
* Each air purifier is designed to filter the room five times per hour at high
speed. Factors such as room shape and ceiling height can affect this rate.
It is normal that the air flow will be reduced as the filters become clogged.
See “Checking the Filters” on page 13 for more information.
To Order Replacement Parts
Replacement bulbs may be available where the air purifier was purchased or
can be obtained directly from Hamilton Beach.
