Aspenair A-10-2™Ionizer
Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of the Aspenair Ionizer. It is the best
quality table top air cleaner on the market because of its reliability, effi-
ciency, quiet operation and high capacity. With proper use and care
according to these guidelines, it should give you years of good service.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR ASPENAIR IONIZER
How the Aspenair
Negative Ion Generator Works
The Aspenair cleans the air in your garden room and restores high levels of free air ions in the envi-
ronment. The Aspenair is a bi-polar system featuring an efficient, positive field collector which cap-
tures airborne pollutants. It removes both micron and submicron sized particles (down to .001)
through precipitation and collection.
Billions of negative ions are sent out by the emitter and the system creates a closed electrostatic loop
(a fresh air bubble). The negative particles attract the positively charged pollutant particles and draw
them back to the collector/filter on the unit. The Aspenair is an “open air” filtering system. Air mov-
ing naturally in your home passes throught the “bubble” where it is “washed or scrubbed”. As the air
moves through the fresh air bubble it is cleaned at a rate of up to 1,800 cubic feet per second. It is
not designed to clean an entire home. The unit is designed to clean the air of the room where you are
working, sleeping or gardening.
Environmental factors such as air movement, temperature and humidity influence the ion output of
the unit. On dry days, the ion output increases while in high humidity, ion output decreases.

The Aspenair uses only 1 1/2watts of power so it is cost
efficient to run.
We recommend that the Aspenair be placed 6 feet away
from walls if possible to avoid the particles it attracts
from being collected on the walls.
The Aspenair is a bi-polar precipitation system. The
effects of static electricity common to ordinary negative
ion generators have been reduced, while retaining the
ability to produce an abundance of negative ions. We
still recommend, however, that the unit be placed more
than three feet away from computers or other static sen-
sitive devices.
SET-UP
Use this list to be sure that all parts are in place.
Read the instructions carefully.
1. Remove emitter parts from small plastic bag and
place the emitter base in the top of the ionizer as
shown. Make sure the conductive foam is provided
in case you lose one. Your ionizer will not func-
tion without it.
2. Insert the Flexible Emitter into the emitter as shown.
3. Use the Flexible Emitter to direct ionization where
you want it. Direct it toward burning cigarettes, or
toward odor, bacteria, and pollen sources to keep
these pollutants from entering your breathing
space. Direct it away from walls and other
unwashable surfaces.
4. Control ionization range by adjusting emitter posi-
tion as shown. Point it straight up for intensive air
cleaning over a wide area. Lower it to
narrow the range. The horizontal posi-
tion will spread ions over the smallest
area and intensify localized collection.
5. For lower-
powered air
freshening,
remove the
Flexible Emitter
and emitter base,
and operate your ionizer with only
the permanent soft emitter in place.
6. Do not immerse the emitter or
ionizer in water or detergents. When
the emitter pin becomes dusty, it
may be cleaned with a cotton swab
and vinegar.
CARE
The disposable filter should be replaced when over 50%
of its surface is discolored with accumulated dirt. Filter
life will vary depending on the growing environment.
Your system comes with an extra disposable filter.
Additional replacements are available directly from the
place of purchase.
STANDARD SAFEGUARDS
FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
When using any electrical appliance the following basic
safety precautions should be followed:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used by or near children.
3. Unplug the unit when not in use. Never yank
the cord to disconnect it from the wall; grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
4. To protect against electrical shock hazards, do
not immerse unit in water or other liquids.
5. To protect your warranty, do not attempt to dis-
assemble the Aspenair. Any tampering with the
unit voids your warranty. There are no con-
sumer replaceable parts inside the unit.
