Night-Light:
This Air Purifier also has a stylish night-light on the front air
inlet. The night-light can be turned on/off as described in the
Air Purifier Use section.
Remote Control:
This Air Purifier comes with a remote control, which allows
you to turn the unit on/off and control the settings from
across the room. The remote control uses a radio signal, so it
will operate through many objects like doors and walls. As
with any remote control, the working distance is usually
within a moderate distance from the device. The Air Purifier
will beep when receiving a signal from the remote control.
Air Quality Sensor:
This Air Purifier includes an air quality sensor. The air quality
sensor reacts to odors and gases in the air and causes the
Air Purifier to change speed. This Air Purifier is primarily
designed to remove particles from the air. However, odors
and particles are often formed together, such as cooking
smoke, tobacco smoke, etc., so in many cases the air quality
sensor will react to changes in particle concentration. The Air
Purifier will run on higher speeds when more gases or odors
are detected and on lower speeds when less gases or odors
are detected. The air quality sensor will respond to many
different gases, but it may be more sensitive to some and
less sensitive to others. The air quality sensor can only
respond to gases that contact the sensor, so an odor noticed
by the user may not be detected by the sensor. The air
quality sensor will only operate while the Air Purifier is in the
Automatic Mode.
Filter Change Indicator:
This Air Purifier includes a filter change indicator. The change
indicator monitors how long the Air Purifier has operated, not
just how many days since the filter was installed. The filter
should be changed after not more than 90 days of
continuous use, and the timer is set for this timing.
Depending upon the conditions in your home, the filter may
need to be changed more frequently. The filter change
indicator has been set to indicate filter change for typical
household conditions; using the Air Purifier in environments
with tobacco smoke, candle burning, construction work,
sanding projects, wood-burning stove or fireplace smoke, or
pets in the home may decrease the filter’s life. The filter
should be periodically checked for damage or blockage. A
yellow caution light will come on when the filter is about 80%
used. A flashing red warning light will come on when the filter
needs to be changed.
Features and Functions
This Filtrete™ Air Purifier from 3M comes complete with
the latest advances in air filtration technology and
includes the following product features:
• A Filtrete™ air cleaning filter - model FAPF-04
• An ionizer that can help produce fresher indoor air
• Backlit controls
• A stylish night-light
• A stylish radio frequency (RF) remote control
• An air quality sensor
• A filter change indicator
The Air Purifier is also designed to be quiet and not
disruptive to your everyday activities.
Filtration:
The Filtrete™ filter contains electrostatically charged
fibers that initally increase the filter's ability to remove
particles from indoor air and also provide low airflow
resistance. Particles can be introduced into the air of a
room from many sources, including open doors and
windows or by simply disturbing dust resting on a
surface. To maximize the air cleaning in the room that
contains the Air Purifier, it is recommended that you clean
and seal, as much as possible, the room in which the Air
Purifier operates; continue to dust surfaces and vacuum
on a normal schedule; and close all windows and doors
during operation. Also, remember that any Air Purifier
can only help clean the air that passes through the filter.
Ionizer:
The ionizer in this product produces negative ions, which
help improve small particle filtration. This unit emits a
very small amount of ozone but has been certified to
produce less than allowable limits by strict Underwriter's
Laboratory (UL) standards. Running this machine with
the ionizer on can produce fresher indoor air. If you are
sensitive to ozone, use this product with the ionizer off.
Backlit Controls:
This Air Purifier is equipped with backlit controls to easily
read and control the settings in low lighting conditions.
The backlit controls can be turned off to maintain a dark
environment. Please see the Air Purifier Use section for
more details.
