IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
1. ALWAYS place this Air Purier on a rm, level surface. ALWAYS place the Air
Purier at least six (6) inches away from walls and heat sources such as
stoves, radiators or heaters. This Air Purier may not work properly on an uneven
surface.
2. Place the Air Purier in an area that is out of the reach of children.
3. Before using the Air Purier, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage.
DO NOT use the product if the cord has been damaged.
4. This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety
feature. This plug will t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat or override this safety feature.
5. ALWAYS UNPLUG the Air Purier when it is not in operation, while the lter is

to and follow the CLEANING AND FILTER REPLACEMENT instructions.
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PermaLife™ Air Purication System from Hunter Fan
Company. You have purchased the latest development in portable Air Purication
Systems. This system has been developed to improve the quality of the air you
breathe.
Your PermaLife™ Air Purication System outperforms other air purication systems
by removing dust, smoke, and pollen particles as small as .1 microns in size. Room
air is pulled in through the front grill and cleaned across the activated carbon pre-lter
and the PermaLife™ system lter. Clean air is then released out the top grill in order
to avoid stirring up settled particles.
Model 30023 includes an Ionizer
Using the ionizer improves the quality of air in the room. Negative ions are released
into the air, and positively charged particles cling to the negative ions. These particles
settle out of the air and can be vacuumed up during normal cleaning. These particles
are also more easily trapped in the PermaLife™ system lter as they pass through
the PermaLife™ Air Purication System.

How the PermaLife™ System Works
Below is an illustration of how the PermaLife™ air purication system works. Dust,
pollen and other allergens are pulled into the air purication system and cleaned
through the PermaLife™ Filter. Clean, puried air is then released into the room.

Using Your Air Purier
1. Place your PermaLife™ Air Purication System on a hard, at surface. We rec-
ommend placing it on a table top in order to achieve the best air circulation for
the room.
2. Plug the unit into a 120V electrical outlet.
3. Select a speed by sliding the speed selector to the appropriate location. The red
power light will be illuminated when you have selected a speed.
4. Turn the ionizer ‘on’, by sliding the ionizer switch to the ‘on’ position. The green
light will be illuminated when the ionizer is ‘on’.
NOTE: The ionizer can release negative ions when the fan is not blowing. If it
is used consistently without the fan, the dust particles that are attracted to the
negative ions may deposit on your walls and oors. To minimize these deposits,
we recommend that you use the ionizer only when the fan is blowing (when the
unit is on LO, MED, or HI speed).
Cleaning Your Air Purier
Proper maintenance of your Hunter Air Purier will help ensure years of trouble free
service.
Follow these steps to properly maintain your air purier:
1. Approximately every 90 days, the outside of the unit should be cleaned with a
soft, damp cloth.
2. If needed, the front grill can be removed from the unit and cleaned with soapy
water. Simply remove the pre-lter before exposing the grill to water.
3. Follow the instructions in the Cleaning the Filter and Pre-Filter section to deter-
mine when to clean the lters.
NOTES:
• The air purier must be unplugged during the cleaning process.
• Be sure the unit is completely dry before plugging in and using.
• Never immerse unit in water.
Cleaning the Filter and Pre-Filter
The PermaLife™ Filtration System uses a cleanable lter that never has to be changed,
only cleaned. The proper time to clean the lter depends on usage and the environ-
ment. Use the following list to help determine if the lter should be cleaned:
• Compare the color of the lter to the color coded chart on the inside of the hous-
ing. If the lter color matches the darkest color on the chart, you should clean the
lter.
• If you notice a decrease in air output or an increase in noise at any time during
normal operation, the lter may be clogged. Clean the lter to return to normal
operation.

To clean the lter and pre-lter:
1. First, turn off and unplug the air purier.
2. Next, remove the front grill. Press the buttons that are on each side of the front
grill. Refer to Figure 1. When they are pressed inward, you will be able to pull
the front grill forward, opening the unit.
3. Gently pull on the lter to remove it from the unit. While removing the lter, note
the directional arrows printed on the top of the lter. The lter will be reinstalled
with the same orientation. Refer to Figure 2.
4. The label on the top side of the lter points to the side that should be cleaned.
Refer to Figure 2. With a vacuum cleaner and upholstery brush attachment, clean
the lter until all particles are removed. Do not use water or liquids to clean.
5. Install the lter with arrows pointing towards the unit. Refer to Fig. 2. Press the
lter rmly into the air purier. To avoid damaging the lter media, you should
press on the frame of the lter only.
6. When you remove the front grill to clean it, you should also remove the pre-lter
from the front grill and gently wash it in soapy water. Washing the pre-lter can
reduce the frequency of cleaning your PermaLife™ lter. Please make sure that
the pre-lter is completely dry before reinstalling in the unit. If not, any moisture
could damage the unit or affect performance.
7. Close the front cover by once again pressing the buttons and allowing the front
cover to slip into place over the buttons. The unit is now ready for normal opera-
tion.
8. Plug in the unit.
