With very little effort, the Therapure®201 air purifier delivers cleaner, fresher, sanitized air to your
indoor environments.
Keep your Therapure®201 functioning properly by cleaning the Permanent HEPA type Filter. 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.).
Exposing your Therapure®to candle/oil/fireplace soot and smoke is not recommended and will
require more frequent cleaning.
Remember: Always make sure your air purifier is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.
Cleaning the Permanent HEPA type Filter
a. Clean the Permanent HEPA type Filter after each month of use.
b. Be sure to turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
1. Release the inlet grill by pressing on the Locking Latch (see diagram of Main Parts).
2. Remove the inlet grill from the unit as shown below.
3. Grasp the left and right frames of the Permanent HEPA type Filter through the indentations on
the sides of the filter enclosure and remove the filter.
4. To clean the Permanent HEPA type Filter, use the brush attachment with your vacuum cleaner.
Run the attachment along the inlet and outlet side of the filter, cleaning between the crevices as
much as possible. Do not use water or any household cleaners or detergents to clean the
Permanent HEPA type Filter.

NOTE:
»Vacuuming will restore performance of the Permanent HEPA type Filter. However, the
filter may appear stained. This is normal and does not affect performance in any way.
»Do not use water or any household cleaners or detergents to clean the Permanent HEPA
type Filter.
»The Permanent HEPA type Filter has been designed to never need replacing. However, it
does need servicing. We recommend that under normal conditions of continuous use, the
filters be cleaned every month to maintain optimal functioning.
»The inlet grill may be cleaned (after unit is turned off and unplugged) with a vacuum
or a slightly damp cloth.
UV lamp
The lifetime of the UV lamp is up to 18 months of continuous, effective operation. After this time,
the bulb may remain illuminated, but its effectiveness is greatly reduced. For maximum germicidal
protection, please replace the UV bulb annually.
If the lamp stops functioning, please call 1.800.875.8577 to order a replacement lamp.
Cleaning External Surfaces
1. Turn off and unplug unit.
2. Use a washcloth slightly dampened with a little water and dishwashing soap to wipe
the outer case surfaces.
3. Do not allow water to slip into the internal parts as this could damage your unit and result
in electrical shock and injury to you.
4. Allow the unit to thoroughly dry before use.
Before replacing the UV lamp, make sure your Therapure®air purifier
is turned off and unplugged.
