8Supervise children or people who are disabled when your air purifier is

10 NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of your air purifier.
11 DO NOT operate your air purifier if the power cord or plug is damaged.
12 If the motor fan fails to operate or your air purifier has been dropped
or damaged in any manner, return your air purifier to the
manufacturer for examination and/or repair.

20 The ionizer in your air purifier produces less ozone than the UL
established limits of 50ppb (parts per billion). However, in high
concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To
prevent ozone buildup, use the ionizer in well-ventilated areas with
the fan on.
21 Your air purifier should only be used in a room with temperatures
between 40~110°F (4~43°C).
22 WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT
use your air purifier with any solid-state speed control device.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLUG SAFETY
YOUR AIR PURIFIER HAS A POLARIZED PLUG—one blade is wider than the
other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a
polarized outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the power
outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY
FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
CORD SAFETY
• The length of the power cord on this air purifier was selected to reduce
tangling or tripping hazards.
• If a longer power 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 electrical rating of your air purifier (see the rating label on
the bottom of your air purifier).
• Do not drape an extension cord over a countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Understanding the filter indicator
The filter indicator shows you when to replace your filters:
Understanding the ionizer
The ionizer releases negative ions through the filtered air that will attach
to positively-charged particles, such as dust and pollen, and it will cause
the particles to settle out of the air. It automatically turns on when you
turn the speed control knob to the speed you want.
FILTER INDICATOR MEANING
Green LED Normal operation.
Blue LED flash Check and replace the pre-filter.
Red LED flash Check and replace the HEPA filter.
Blue/red LED flash Check and replace both filters.
Note
There is a sticker on your air purifier to remind you
what each color indicates.
Caution
The ionizer in your air purifier produces less ozone
than the UL established limits of 50ppb (parts per
billion). However, in high concentrations, ozone can
be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone
buildup, use the ionizer in well-ventilated areas with
the fan on.
Notes
• The ionizer may produce an occasional popping
or cracking sound. This is normal and occurs
when a small buildup of ions is discharged.
• You may notice more particles on the surfaces in
your home or on the filtered air outlet of your air
purifier. This is normal and means the particles
are being removed from the air.
• Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke
may interfere with the ionization process.
• The ionizer cannot be turned off.
