IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR INJURY
TO PERSON(S) READ THE FOLLOWING:
• Use only as described in this manual.
• Use only a 120-volt outlet with grounding wire receptacle.
• Do not use the air purifier if the power cord or plug is damaged or
the connection to the wall outlet is loose.
• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never
pull by the cord.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands. Electrical shock
or fire from short circuit may occur.
• Remove the power plug from the wall outlet before cleaning the unit
and when not using the unit. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
RespirAide authorized service or similarly qualified person.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a
grounding type plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit
into the outlet, contact qualified personnel to install the proper
outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
• Do not use the unit in an enclosed space where oxygen,
flammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given off by oil
base paint, paint thinner, some mothproofing substances, or
in an area where flammable dust is present.
• Do not clean outside with paint thinner or any chemicals. If so, the
unit surface may become damaged or may cause fire.
• Do not wash or reuse the activated carbon filter.
• Do not operate the unit without filters.
• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the intake or air outlet.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from
openings and moving parts.
• Do not block the intake and air outlet.
• Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as range or where
it may be exposed to steam.
• Always hold the handles on the side of the unit when moving it.
Holding the front panel when carrying may cause it to detach, and
result in bodily harm.
• Be careful not to tip over the unit when opening the front panel. If
not, it may cause bodily harm.
• The batteries must be removed from the remote control before
disposal, and the batteries must be disposed of safely.

CHAPTER 1

E-11
CHAPTER 2 The air purifier functions as an air cleaner by helping to disinfect
airborne microorganisms and removing particulates from the air.
The centrifugal fans of the unit draw air through the front panel (Intake)
on the front of the unit. Then it passes through the Pre-filter, the
electronic cell, the activated carbon filter and the UV-Photo catalytic
sterilization chamber. The purified air is then released through the outlet
on the top of the unit.
The air is cleansed in six stages:
• The Pre-filter traps large dust particles.
• The two-stage electrostatic precipitator captures airborne particles. In
the ionizing section of the electronic cell, billions of microscopic particles
become electrically charged as they pass through the powerful electric
field. The collector plates immediately attract and collect these charged
dust and dirt particles.
• The activated carbon filter adsorbs and reduces odors, chemicals and
gases, removes tobacco smoke, the smell of food and other odors.
• The UV sterilization chamber kills bacteria and viral microorganisms
such as influenza, TB and Legionnaire's Disease as well as other
harmful contaminants.
• When UV light hits the photo catalytic filter, it creates e- and h+, which
have an excellent effect in the decomposition of odors.
• The unit also generates negative ions that freshens the room air.

CHAPTER 6
Cleaning the Pre-filter
WARNING:
• DO NOT clean the Pre-
filter with flammable
substances (Alcohol,
gasoline, paint thinner,
etc.). It may cause fire!
• After cleaning the Pre-
filter, it is very important to
dry it completely before
placing it back in the unit.
• During maintenance, be
careful not to tip over the
unit. It may cause
personal injury.
WARNING:
Cleaning the unit while it
is plugged in may result
electric shock, electric
spark and serious injury.
Unplug the unit before
cleaning or maintenance!
6-1 Open the front panel
6-2 Removing the Pre-filter
CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
To maintain optimum performance of this air purifier, please clean the
unit including the Pre-filter and electronic cell periodically.
When cleaning the unit, be sure to unplug the power cord, and
never handle the plug with wet hands. If so, electrical shock and
bodily injury may occur as a result.
Main Unit
To prevent dirt or stains on the main unit, clean as often as necessary. If
stains are allowed to remain, they may become difficult to remove. Wipe
with a dry, soft cloth for stubborn stains or dirt, use a soft cloth
dampened with warm water. Do not use volatile fluids, Benzene, paint
thinner, polishing powder, this may damage the surface. Do not use
detergents, detergent ingredients may damage the unit. Keep the unit
away from water.
Cleaning the Pre-filter
To assure optimum performance the Pre-filter should be cleaned
regularly-every one to two weeks. Washing frequency will vary
depending on the number of family members, pets, activities (such as
cooking or woodworking) and smoking habits. Use the wash reminder
schedule in this manual.
• Stop the operation and unplug the unit.
• Open the front panel.
• Pull the Pre-filter straight up and out of the front panel.
• After using a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust, clean with water. If it
is very dirty, use a soft brush or a neutral cleaner to clean then dry
completely before placing it back into the unit.
• Place the Pre-filter back into the front panel by sliding straight down
into the slots.

E-18
CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Electronic Cell
Remove the electronic cell
• Stop the operation and unplug the unit.
• Please wait 5-10 seconds before taking off the front panel.
• Pull the cell straight up and out of the filter cabinet.
WARNING:
•DO NOT clean the cell
with alcohol, gasoline,
paint thinner or other
flammable substances.
It may cause fire!
• DO NOT reinstall the cell
until it is completely dry. If
the CHECK light flashes
red, then the cell may still
be wet.
• Be sure there is no
detergent residue around
the cell ceramic
insulators, especially
around the square shape
ceramic insulators.
• Slide in the cell so the
airflow arrow points
toward the machine.
CHAPTER 6
Helpful Hints
How to clean the electronic cell
• To assure optimum performance the cell should be cleaned every one
to two months.
• Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub or trash container.
Dissolve detergent in warm water to cover the cell. After the detergent
has completely dissolved, place the cell in the container. Allow the cell

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS (FAQs)
CHAPTER 7 Why does my air purifier spark?
It is common for the purifier to spark, crackle or pop during operation. A
spark indicates that the air purifier captured a large air particle. If the unit
sparks continuously:
• The electronic cell may be excessively dirty or have a foreign object
lodged between the plates. Remove the cell from the unit and wash
thoroughly.
• Visually inspect the cell for any foreign debris lodged between the
plates. Also, inspect for broken ionizing wires, chipped or cracked
ceramic insulators, or bent plates.
• When replacing cell in the unit, make sure the directional arrow on
the cells point toward the unit.
How should I clean the cell?
• Stop the operation and unplug the unit.
• Please wait 5-10 seconds before opening the front panel.
• To assure optimum performance the cell should be cleaned every one
to two months.
• Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub or trash container.
Dissolve detergent in warm water to cover the cell. After the detergent
has completely dissolved, place the cell in the container. Allow the cell
to soak for 15~30 minutes and rinse with clean water. Tough residue
such as tar from tobacco smoke may need longer soaking.
• After cleaning, make sure to rinse detergent residue thoroughly out of
the ceramic insulators of the cell. Dry the cell thoroughly with heat gun
before reinstalling.
Important Note:
It is very important that the cell is allowed to dry completely before sliding
them back into the cell cabinet as electricity is passed through the cell.
How often should I change the activated carbon filter (Charcoal
filter)?
The function of the activated carbon filter is to adsorb odors and freshen
the air. When the REPLACE CARBON FILTER indicator light on the
control panel flashes, you should replace the activated carbon filter.
Even before the indicator light flashes you can replace the activated
carbon filter using your best judgment based on the odors you perceive
in your home.
