MAIN PARTS
Before using your PurePro®Tower Professional Air Purifier,
please read all the information contained in this manual.
A. ELECTROSTATIC FILTER (ESP CELL)
This is the ESP cell. It’s a vital part of this amazing air
purifying system. This is where smoke, dust, allergens,
germs, and irritants are trapped when the PurePro®Tower
Professional Air Purifier is in use.
B. PRE-FILTER
This filter traps large particles such as hair and lint.
C. OXYGEN PLUS™ FILTER
The Oxygen Plus™ filter converts ozone into oxygen
thereby decreasing the concentration of the ozone that is
emitted by the air purifier.

on. The unit will release the proper concentration of ions to
keep the air fresh. Pressing the IONS button again will turn
off this feature.

amount of dirt has collected on the ESP cell, the unit will
shut down and the red light will turn on. Simply clean the
ESP cell, re-insert and start the unit.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The PurePro®professional air purifier is designed to run
quietly and requires very little time and effort to maintain
in proper working condition. If you hear excessive noise or
static coming from your PurePro®Tower Professional Air
Purifier it generally indicates that the product needs to be
cleaned. Turn off your PurePro®Tower Professional Air
Purifier, unplug the cord and carefully follow the cleaning
instructions in the “CLEANING & MAINTENANCE” section
of this manual.
Keep your PurePro®professional air purifier functioning
properly by cleaning the ESP cell and pre-filter after every 4
weeks of use as recommended. More frequent cleaning
will be necessary if the unit is located in an area with a
high level of airborne contaminants (excessive amounts
of smoke, pet dander, etc.). The Oxygen Plus™ filter
needs to be cleaned after about 2 months of use.
Exposing your PurePro®
Tower Professional Air
Purifier to candle, oil lamp,
fireplace soot, and smoke
is not recommended and
will require the collection
blade assembly, pre-
filter and Oxygen Plus™
filter to be cleaned more
frequently.
HELPFUL TIP: If your
unit doesn’t work and the
CLEAN light is on, it’s time
to clean the filters.

other liquid to clean it. Using water or any other liquid to
clean the Oxygen Plus™ filter will deactivate the filter.This
could possibly increase the ozone level in your room.

sides of the Oxygen Plus™ filter, making sure that the
dust is absorbed into the vacuum cleaner.
3. Note that over time some discoloration

Page 12 of this manual before installing it into the purifier
and resuming use.
CLEANING EXTERNAL SURFACES
Over time, some particles and dust may accumulate on
the external surfaces of your PurePro®Tower Professional
Air Purifier.
To Clean External Surfaces:
1. Turn off and unplug the unit.
2. Use a moist washcloth with a little dishwashing soap to
wipe the outer case surfaces.
3. Do not allow water to slip into the internal parts of the air
purifier as this could damage its functioning and may
result in injury to you.
4. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before resuming use.
FILTER INSERTION
Please note that the ESP cell and pre-filter cannot be re-
inserted when the unit is not in its vertical (upright) position.

2.
unplugged before attempting to vertically re-insert the
ESP cell, pre-filter, and Oxygen Plus™ filter.

3.
the unit along the grooves. See Figure 8. Please
observe proper orientation when installing the pre-filter
and Oxygen Plus™ filter.
Next, insert the ESP cell into the unit in the reverse

manner in which it was removed previously.
See Figure 9.

MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Ozone and Your Health
After you activate your PurePro®Tower Professional Air
Purifier, you may notice a new clean scent. Ozone is the
scent you smell. Ozone is a combination of three oxygen
atoms. The PurePro®Tower Professional Air Purifier utilizes
an ionizing process which results in very low
ozone emission.
The PurePro®Tower Professional Air Purifier complies with
U.S. safety requirements for low ozone emission (less than
50 parts per billion) and meets the UL867 standard for
consumer products. UL867 is the Underwriters Laboratories
Inc. standard for safety for electrostatic air cleaners.
Individuals with a history of respiratory disease, asthma,
heart disease, lung disease, breathing problems or
concerns about ozone should ask their doctor whether
the concentrations of ozone generated by this or other
commercial ionic air purifiers are appropriate for their
specific health needs.
