Control for the negative ion generator is separate from the O3 control. Negative
ions can be created around the clock to keep down dust and particulate.
O3 also known as activated oxygen is normally kept at modest levels in occupied
spaces. To remove heavy odors, the units may be adjusted to a higher level for
a period of time. Some use a timer to completely deodorize the home or office
while away. Unused O3 reverts back to O2 in about an hour.

OPERATION/INSTALLATION
If desired, install the Ozone plates in the plate receiver slot (see diagram on
previous page) Air Purier will function with or without the Ozone plate installed.
To install the Ozone Plate, remove the HEPA from the rear part of the unit and x
it by the screws (Make sure the unit is turned OFF when taking out the HEPA to
protect against electric shock).
Start with the Air Purier on its lowest O3 setting and turn the O3 dial “up” as
necessary. The ideal amount of O3 will leave your room smelling clean and fresh.
If the O3 setting is too high, you will smell too much O3 in your home. Keep in
mind traditionally O3 is used intermittently on an as needed basis or long term
with no pets or people around. Within an hour, O3 will break down and revert
back to O2.
The Ionizer is designed to run independently from Ozone production and is on
automatically when the fan is on. The ionizer can be used around the clock to
keep dust and particulate at bay.
Individual sensitivity to O3 and preference may vary and should be adjusted
accordingly. The effect of O3 on indoor air may vary according to atmospheric
and/or environmental conditions such as altitude, humidity, air movement, and
severity of existing odors, house design and square footage.
If you desire to treat the entire home, set the fan switch on your home’s heating &
cooling system to the ON position rather than AUTO. Open all interior doors and
adjust the O3 level to the appropriate setting. Then place the unit so the air from
the purier ows directly into an air return vent.
ALTITUDE: Generally, in higher altitudes the requirement for activated oxygen
decreases. Therefore, higher altitudes should use a lower settings.
HUMIDITY: Generally, in higher humidity the requirement for activated oxygen
increases. Therefore increased humidity may require higher settings. High humidity
will require additional cleaning.

For optimal treatment of air in your designated area, your new air purication unit
should be placed in a central location (higher is better). Your unit can be set on a
tall piece of furniture. Allow three inches between the back of your unit and the
wall to allow proper airow. Fan speed is normally set in the medium range. The
reason for elevated placement of the unit is that O3 is heavier than air. Elevated
placement allows for better circulation. It is suggested that the purier be placed
in the room that is close to the primary source of odor.
WARNING: Excessive O3 concentrations may cause mucous
membrane or respiratory irritation and can be harmful. If you smell
ozone when you enter a room, turn the O3 dial down to a lower or OFF
setting.

Because of its high reactivity and its ability to destroy microscopic organisms,
Ozone has the reputation of being a highly effective air purier. Whatever your
needs are, the ozone feature can be used in a variety of locations: hotels, hospitals,
stores/shops, ofces and Residential spaces. All types of air-conditioned spaces
that utilize this product are able to transform a smoky and smelly area into a clean
air scent and freshen the environment.
Ozone is one of the cost effective solutions when compared to all other types of
technology on the market today.
Here are few of the ozone function’s positive benets:
• Actively defends you from contaminants, impurities and unwanted bacteria in
the environment without having to pull air through the air purier.
• Decreases viruses and unhealthy bacteria from the surroundings therefore
lessening the growth of ailments like pneumonia, tuberculosis and other
sicknesses.
• Reduces the risk of allergies, bacterial or viral infections, hay fever and respiratory
problems to some extent.
Something to keep in mind- the use of the ozone setting in your commercial
or residential space is not meant to be ON constantly. For the safety of
residents and individuals in the area where the ozone is on, it is recommended
that the ozone feature be kept on while people and pets are not present in the
room. Although the Classic Air Purier has ozone output levels below the legal
standard, overexposure can cause the following:
• Decreased lung function
• Aggravation of asthma
• Throat irritation
• Headaches
Ozone is NOT necessary. The air purier will work without ozone feature ON
or without the plate being inserted. Should you have the ozone plate inserted,
the Classic Air Purier has a separate Ozone knob that can be turned off
independently.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE OZONE FEATURE
• Cough
• Chest Pain
• Shortness of breath
• Inammation of lung tissue

Some users who are sensitive to ozone set their units up on a timer so that the
purier does its work only when they are away from home. This allows for a
higher setting and higher concentrations, which can be more effective for purging
purposes. The ozone will normally dissipate in less than an hour after the purier
is turned off. Simple timers plug into an outlet and are available at hardware and
variety stores

When the purier no longer produces enough ozone to be effective, the ozone plate
should be cleaned. A good rule of thumb is every month. Some environments
cause ozone output to be reduced in a shorter time but other environments may
take longer.
To clean a plate, rst turn the unit OFF and UNPLUG from outlet. Then remove
the 4”x4” plates from back of unit. Pull plates rmly in the center to remove from
the slot. With plate rmly supported in the hand apply a solution of warm water
and ammonia (50/50 solution is suggested) or a strong grease cutting detergent.
Scrub with a stiff brush if necessary. Be careful not to drop the plate or scrub off
the silicon. Clean both the metal screen and the ceramic tile. Rinse plate in hot
water and DRY COMPLETELY before installing. If available you may use a hair
dryer to dry the plate. Reinstall plate, making sure it is secured and ush with the
back of the unit. Plug unit into a grounded electrical outlet; turn unit on and start
enjoying clean fresh air.
To clean needlepoint ionizer, rst turn OFF and UNPLUG from outlet. Remove the
fan grill cover. The needle point ionizer will be easy to nd in front of the fan by
looking for two pieces of wire. Take a q-tip or cotton swab dipped in alcohol and
clean any dust that may have accumulated on the needlepoints. This process
may be done when plates are being cleaned. While you have the front grill cover
off the unit you may also clean the fan and grill itself. To clean the fan, simply wipe
the blades with a damp cloth or vacuum. The grill cover may also be cleaned
with warm soapy water. Be careful that the fan grill cover is completely dry before
installing.

Q. How does the Classic Air Purifier compare to air filters?
A. The Classic Air Purier has both active and passive air purication. Passively,
it uses both HEPA and Carbon lter to trip small particles and odors. Actively,
the Classic Air Purier produces both activated oxygen and negative ions to
remove strong odors and settle out particulates, like dust.
Q. Is ozone safe?
A. Ozone in very high concentrations can be irritating to mucous membranes and
the respiratory system. We recommend you set the O3 dial properly, either for
short-term temporary use (in less than ve (5) minutes) or for longer-term use
with no pets or people are around.
Q. Where should I place the Air Purifier in my home or office?
A. The Classic Air Purier should be placed in the room where you have the most
pollutants. The purier is lightweight and easy to move so it is recommended
that you try placing it in a couple of locations to help decide what works best
for your environment. An elevated location is better to distribute ions and
activated oxygen more evenly. The Classic Air Purier works best if it is placed
within 10 feet of a cold air return from an AC duct.
Q. What is the life expectancy for the Classic Air Purifier?
A. The Classic Air Purier is made of stainless steel and solid wood construction.
Because of the quality material and superior craftsmanship that goes into each
air purier, you can enjoy it for many years to come.
Q. Is the Purifier difficult to install?
A. No, the Classic Air Purier is easy to set up. For use without O3, the air purier
is already ready to be used. For O3, simply install the O3 plates (located in a
separate box packaged inside the carton), plug it in, and turn the separate O3
dial. Install the Classic Air Purier in any room with the purier recommended
four (4) or more feet off the ground.
Q. What does the Air Purifier do?
A. The Classic Air Purier is designed to trap 99% of the bacteria, mold, and
allergens in your home or space. It treats the air in your home or ofce by
breaking down odor causing pollutants and dropping airborne particulate from
your breathing space.

Q. How does the Air Purifier treat the air?
A. The Classic Air Purier produces ozone and negatively charged ions, in the
same way nature uses these effective cleansing agents to treat outdoor air.
Q. How does the Classic Air Purifier work?
A. The purier effectively traps 99% of pollutants through a three-stage process:
1. The Classic Air Purier uses a needlepoint ionizer to drop dust, smoke and
other harmful particles from the air we breathe. In our homes and ofces there
are a lack of negative ions and an abundance of positive ions. The buildings
we spend most of our time in block out the natural occurring negative ions.
The Classic Air Purier recreates the natural balance of positive to negative
ions to signicantly reduce airborne particulate.
2. This Purier uses electricity to split oxygen O2 molecules into single O1
atoms, which attach loosely to other O2 molecules to become O3 (activated
oxygen). This loosely attached oxygen atom is unstable and seeks to bond
with chemical compounds and other odor causing pollutants in order to
oxidize them.
3. HEPA lters are effective at capturing dust, mold, pollens, allergens and
other solid particles as small as 3 micron. Through a very ne paper-like lter,
the pollutants in the air pass through the HEPA lter and are trapped. At this
point, any bacteria and particles die because the HEPA lters are dry and
sterile, preventing any future growth.
Q. How does nature produce ozone?
A. Ozone is created electrically during active thunderstorms. The electrical
discharge creates a fresh sweet smell. The ultraviolet rays of the sun striking
hydrocarbons in our atmosphere also create ozone.
Q. How does nature produce ions?
A. Waterfalls, lightning, and the waves of the ocean all create negative ions.
