YOUR AIR PURIFIER
HOW YOUR AIR CLEANER WORKS
This model air cleaner incorporates a 3-stage cleaning
system to help clean the air that passes through the filter
in the unit (Fig. 1).
Stage 1: Washable or Odor-reducing Pre-filter
(your choice)
Stage 2: Permanent Washable ifD®Filter
Stage 3: Electronic Ionizer

ODOR REDUCTION
This air cleaner includes a special odor absorbing pre-filter
K
packed in the product box. In order to
enjoy the benefits of enhanced odor reduction, replace the washable pre-filter that is already in the air
cleaner with the odor absorbing pre-filter
K
.
For optimal performance, the pre-filter is wrapped in plastic to keep it fresh. Pre-filter replacement timing
will be approximately 3 months, depending on use.
You can purchase replacement
K
pre-filters from the store where you purchased your air cleaner or visit
www.replacementfilters.com. If you have any questions, contact Kaz Consumer Services at 1-800-477-0457.
Note: Please only use one pre-filter in your air cleaner at a time. You will need to choose whether you want
to use the permanent washable pre-filter or the odor reducing pre-filter (will be discarded after use). Both
are included with your air cleaner at the time of purchase.

OPERATION
• Ensure the air cleaner is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Press the power button ( ) once. The unit will start at the “general cleaning”
level and remain on this setting until another cleaning level is chosen (Fig. 2).
It is recommended you run your air cleaner 24 hours a day when possible
to ensure continuous cleaning. Portable air cleaners are more effective in
rooms where all doors and windows are closed.
Fig. 2
SET-UP
• Select a firm, level and flat location. For best airflow, locate the unit 3 feet (1 M) from any wall or
furniture.
• When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air cleaner. Surrounding areas should be
cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent build-up of dust and other contaminates. This may
also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpet, a small mat or rug
should be used underneath to prevent permanent staining. This is especially important in homes with
contamination from smoking or fireplaces.

My filter bar says my filter is still relatively clean but when I checked my filter, it was really dirty.
In conditions where smoke, pets or air with a lot of contaminants are present it is possible that the filter
could be dirty sooner than indicated on the indicator. The filter life indicator on your unit runs on a timer
and if there are more particles in your air than in an average home, your filter could capture airborne
particles sooner than indicated on the display. The indicator is intended to be used as a guideline and
individual environmental conditions will vary.
My unit will not turn on.
The air cleaner has safety features to ensure that the unit is ready for operation. Check to make sure the
filter is installed and is flush to the air cleaner. Check to make sure the rear grille is snapped into place.
If your unit still won’t turn on, contact Kaz Consumer Relations at 1-800-477-0457.
My Air Purifier is starting to make noise and the air output is less. What’s wrong?
The filters may be dirty. High amounts of contaminates can block the pores in the filter and stop the air
from moving through it. The filters should be cleaned.
How long should I run my Air Purifier?
For best results, you should operate your Air Purifier 24 hours a day when possible. This unit will be
more effective when doors and windows are closed.
Can I wash my odor reducing
K
pre-filter?
No. Washing the odor reducing
K
pre-filter will destroy it. You can, however, wash the sponge like
permanent pre-filter.
How does the electronic filter check work?
The filter check LED will illuminate when it is time to check the filters after 3 months of continuous
operation of the air cleaner.
