Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in ac-
cordance with all local code and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin; if missing,
replace plug before use.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the machine. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated
in Figures 2 and 3 may be used~to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be
installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, tab or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or GreenYellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing
a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
DO NOT use extension cords.
Please Note for America use only

is used to turn on the unit and set the fan speed, which adjusts the CFM
from 250-500.
2. HEPA FILTER REPLACEMENT INDICATOR LIGHT
The indicator light illuminates when the HEPA lter exhibits 50% relative
reduction in capacity and airow. The HEPA lter should be changed at this
point to resume efcient operation. Do not attempt to clean and re-use a
HEPA lter. Dust Pre-lters should be replaced after signicant accumula-
tion of dust is clearly visible on surface. Make sure lters are placed in the
housing lid directionally as labeled on the lter itself.
