Hybrid GP™ air purifier complies with current U.S. safety
requirements for low ozone emissions for consumer
products. We recommend that individuals with a history of
respiratory disease consult with their doctor about possible
heightened sensitivity to very low ozone.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Candles, gas heaters and other oil-burning
products create soot. This soot can be distributed through a venti-
lation system and cause a sudden overload of soot to build up on
and around your Hybrid GP. For better air quality and reduced
cleaning, avoid burning candles indoors and have gas appliances
checked on a regular basis.
The energy efficiency of this ENERGY STAR®qualified model is
measured based on a ratio between the model’s CADR for dust
and the electrical energy it consumes, or CADR/watt.

Features
•Removable, washable collection grid, front and rear grills.
•Four user-selectable speeds (from quiet to high) and
20-minute Boost option.
•Power-interrupt memory (resets to last power setting when
power is restored).
•Storage for excess cord.
Setup and Operation
CAUTION: 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.
1. Plug into a grounded three-prong outlet.
2. Wrap excess cord into storage area at the bottom of the unit.
3. Place the unit so the air intake (back of the unit) is at least 12"
from the wall. Ensure that you do not obstruct the air intake.
The air outlet (front of the unit) should have at least 3 feet of
open space in front of it.
4. Press POWER.

Setup and Operation
5. Select desired speed:
•
QUIET for small rooms with poor ventilation.
•
LOW and MED for average to large rooms.
• HIGH for extra large rooms and open areas.
6. Press BOOST to activate the unit at maximum airflow and for
20-minute cleaning. After 20 minutes, the operation returns
to the selected setting.
Basic Cleaning
The collection grid can be pulled out from the top of the unit
for cleaning.
Cleaning should be done weekly or as needed. We recommend
checking the collector assembly after first two days of operation
to see how fast dust accumulates in your residence. Different
locations could have different dust-accumulation rates.
To clean the grid, use the special cleaning tool with a mild deter-
gent and warm water. Run the bristles along the grid to allow them
to enter at an angle. The bristles can then be used to dislodge
attached particles inside the grid. (See figure on the next page.)

Basic Cleaning
Note: Avoid aggressively “jamming” the bristles in and out of
the grid. This could bend the cleaning tool bristles and make it
difficult to use.
Do not use towel, sponge, abrasive or sharp objects to clean the
collector grid. Collector plates are fragile and covered with plastic
insulation that could be easily damaged.
Before reinstalling, allow the grid to dry overnight. If the grill is
still slightly damp, the unit performs a “drying cycle” to remove
excess moisture before normal operation resumes.
Note: This drying cycle functions to remove small amounts of
residual moisture. Do not rely upon this feature to dry a wet grid.

OzoneGuard™ Filter
The OzoneGuard™ filter is located on a separate, removable
frame, just in front of the collection grid. First, remove the collec-
tion grid, then grasp the OzoneGuard frame and slide it out.
1. Remove and check the OzoneGuard filter once a month.
If dusty, clean it with your vacuum cleaner.
2. If a dust deposit is still visible, soak the filter with warm water
and a mild detergent.
3. Rinse clean. Do not scrub the OzoneGuard filter or subject
it to harsh cleaning agents. Standard detergent used to wash
dishes by hand is a safe cleaning agent to use.
Grill Removal
The front and rear grills can be removed for periodic cleaning
as needed.
Pull the blue tab forward, located at the bottom of the grills, and
slide the grill down.
After washing, allow to dry, reinstall and slide up to lock in place.

Ambient Light Sensor
A small unmarked sensor is built into the control panel. This
sensor detects the light level in the room and adjusts the control
LEDs, dimming them in dark environments.
Attention-Required LED
This LED indicates that a problem has been detected. Clean the
grids, grills and ionizing wires. If the problem persists, call our
customer service department at 1-800-344-5555.
