When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before operating the air
purifier.
2. Place air purifier where it is not easily knocked
over by persons in the household.
3. Always turn the air purifier to the OFF position
and unplug from the wall outlet when not in
use.
4. To disconnect the air purifier, first turn control
to the OFF position, grip the plug and pull it
from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
5. Do not use any product with a damaged cord
or plug or if product malfunctions, is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Keep the cord
away from heated surfaces.
6. Do not use air purifier outdoors.
7. Never use air purifier unless it is fully
assembled.
8. Do not run power cord under carpets, and do
not cover with throw rugs. Arrange cord such
that it will not be tripped over.
9. Do not use air purifier where combustible
gases, vapors or an oxygen rich environment
are present.
10. Do not expose the air purifier to rain, or use
near water, in a bathroom, laundry area or
other damp location.
11. The air purifier must be used in its upright
position.
12. Do not allow foreign objects to enter ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may cause electric
shock or damage to the air purifier. Do not
block air outlets or intakes.
13. Locate air purifier near the outlet and avoid
using an extension cord.
14. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of

in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
15. A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle)
and plug may cause overheating and a
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified
electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
16. Do not sit, stand or place heavy objects on the
air purifier.
17. Disconnect power supply before servicing.

REMOVING / CLEANING THE IFD FILTER
This IFD air purifier is equipped with an electronic filter monitor to serve as a convenient guideline for
cleaning the IFD and pre-filter based on the air purifier’s hours of use and operating power level. This is
beneficial because a filter’s life depends on the amount of air and contaminants drawn through it. As you
operate your IFD Air Purifier, the filter bar indicator will fill-up from “IFD” to “Dirty”. The bar will continue
to fill as you use the unit. Once the bar is completely full, it is time to clean the filters and reset the filter
monitor.
To reset the filter bar:
• With the power on, press and hold the RESET button for 5
seconds, or until the filter bar clears itself.
Note: Depending upon your individual usage (environment,
hours and power level of operation), you may need to check
and clean the filters more or less frequently.
To
remove the IFD filter:
• Make certain that the air purifier is OFF and the unit is unplugged.
• Remove the rear door panel by turning the rear knob counter-clockwise and lifting
the panel out and up.
• Gently tug the filter basket door towards you – the basket will first rotate and then
slide out of the unit (Fig. 3).
• Continue to slide the basket and remove from the filter swing arm (Fig. 4).
• Take the IFD filter out of the filter basket and clean the filter (Fig. 5).
To
clean the IFD filter:
• After removing the IFD Filter from the air purifier, gently run a vacuum
cleaner with a nozzle or brush attachment along the filter to pick-up
tiny particles (Fig. 6). Repeat on both sides.
If your IFD filter appears to have dirt that has not been removed by
vacuuming, please follow the steps below to wash the IFD filter.
• Turn the power off and unplug the air purifier.
• Remove the IFD filter from the unit.
• Fill the sink with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap
(Fig. 7).
• Gently swish the filter in the soap solution to clean.
• Soak the filter for 2-3 minutes. Do not leave for an extended period of
time.
• Rinse the filter with clean tap water.
OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Timer Operation
Once the air purifier is turned on, you can program this unit to turn off automatically after a set amount of
time.
• Press the Timer button – the LCD screen flashes the number 10.
• Press the toggle arrows to your desired number of hours (1 through 10). The selected number will flash
for a few seconds – once it stops flashing, the air purifier is in Timer Mode. (Example: If you want the
unit to turn off in 6 hours, touch the timer button, then press the arrow button until the number "6" is
displayed.)
• To turn the Timer mode off, press the Timer button.

Please make certain that the unit is OFF and unplugged.
To install the IFD Filter and pre-filter:
• Insert the pre-filter into the basket first.
• Place the IFD filter on top of the pre-filter, making certain that the
insert arrows match up with the label inside the basket (Fig. 9).
• Slide the filter basket onto the swing arm and gently push the filter
basket into the air purifier until it clicks into place.
• Replace the rear panel door by lining up the tabs on
the bottom portion of the door with the notches on the
air purifier and then turning the locking knob clockwise
(Fig. 10).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces of the air purifier. DO NOT USE WATER, GASOLINE,
POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.
• The IFD filter and pre-filter should be cleaned at least once a month, or sooner depending on the air
quality of the room (See
“Removing/Cleaning the IFD Filter” or “Cleaning the Pre-Filter” respectively).
CLEANING THE PRE-FILTER
The particle pre-filter helps pick-up large airborne particles that enter the filter. The pre-filter can be
removed and rinsed by hand under warm water. Let the pre-filter dry completely before inserting it back
into the unit.
REMOVING / CLEANING THE IFD FILTER (CONTINUED)
• Shake the filter to remove any excess water (Fig. 8).
• Place the filter with the honeycomb side down on a plush towel.
•Note that the filter may still be discolored even after washing.
This is acceptable and will not affect performance.
• Allow the IFD filter to dry for a few hours or overnight.
• When the IFD filter is completely dry, place back into the
air purifier.
CAUTION:
•Never place a wet IFD filter in your air purifier.
• The IFD Filter is NOT dishwasher safe. Do not place the IFD filter in a
dishwasher or subject it to other extreme hot water conditions.
• Do not use any solvents, strong cleaning agents or flammable liquids to clean the IFD filter.
Filter Clean Indicator – Resetting the Filter Monitor
After cleaning the IFD filter, you need to reset the filter monitor.
• Once the IFD filter has been checked and cleaned, the filter monitor will need to be reset.
• With the air purifier unit powered on, press and hold the filter reset button for approximately 10
seconds or until the LCD display is clear.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often is cleaning required?
About every four weeks depending on the air quality of the room. You should clean your IFD filter
regularly by gently running a vacuum attachment over it. We recommend washing the IFD filter when
needed but not more than once a month.
Is the IFD Air Purifier considered an ozone generator?
No. Ozone generators produce large amounts of ozone and the EPA considers these unsafe for
household use.
