HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS

Dirty, dust laden air is drawn through the back of
the air purifier and through the multi-stage filtration
system.
1. The carbon filter will help clear odours making

the air cleaner and fresher.

2. The HEPA filter entraps 99% of all smaller visible

and non-visible particles down to 2 microns in
size.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Ioniser

Your Bionaire

Air Purifier has an independently

controlled ioniser, which when turned on, releases
negative ions into the outgoing filtered air. Ions
are tiny particles that carry either a positive or
negative charge. These ions exist naturally all
around us in the air, water and ground. Both positive
and negative ions are colourless, odourless and
completely harmless.
Negative ions help the air purification process by
attaching themselves to very small airborne particles
in the room. These particles take on a negative
charge and may join with positively charged particles,
such as dust, pollen, smoke and pet dander to form
larger particles that are then more readily captured
by the filter system, or they may be attracted to
positively charged surfaces like walls or floors.
You may also note, after extended use, that dust
may have collected around the grills or front panel.

This is from the ionisation effect caused by the
negative ions exiting from the air outlet.This dust
does not come from the air output, but is drawn
out of the uncleaned air going past the air outlet.
This is additional evidence of the air cleaning
effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be
easily removed with a clean, dampened cloth or
soft brush.

NOTE:

it is important to change the HEPA filter

at recommended intervals. Using the ioniser in
conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty
particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted
to walls, carpets, furniture and other household
objects. These dirty particles may prove very difficult
to remove.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. After removing the unit from the box, remove

the plastic covering from the unit.

2. Select a firm level place where there are no

obstructions to the air inlet (front grill) or filtered
air outlet.

3. Remove the inlet grill by pulling the grill towards

you.

4. Remove both HEPA filters by gripping on both

sides and pulling forward.

5. Remove protective plastic bag from each filter

cartridge. The filter clip can only be attached to the
hang tabs on the filter one way (see Figure 3). The
filter clip should easily slide onto the filter hang
tabs. Do not use force whilst attaching the filter clip
to the filter. Align the clip on the HEPA filter with the
rails on the inside of the unit. (see Figure 4)

NOTE:

The pleated material and rubber gasket

should be facing towards the unit when applied.

6. Replace the inlet grill by sliding back on to the

unit. Make sure that it snaps securely into position
(the grill only goes on one way).

NOTE:

Do not point outlet towards wall.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug into a suitable 220 – 240V electrical outlet.
2. Select the required operating Speed: Hi ( ),

Medium ( ), Low ( ) by sliding the switch
to the appropriate setting.

3. To release negative ions into the filtered air,

slide the Ioniser button ( ) to ON. The amber
light will illuminate.

4. The ioniser will not work unless the unit is running.
5. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to

operate the air purifier continuously. Its rugged
motor is designed to give many years of service.

6. For continuous use, it is recommended to

operate the air purifier at the Medium ( )
setting. For quieter operation or use in a
bedroom, select the Low ( ) setting. When
high levels of air pollution are present, select
the Hi ( ) setting to quickly circulate clean
filtered air.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before cleaning.
2. The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned

with a soft, clean dampened cloth.

3. The filtered air outlet can be cleaned of dust

with a small, soft brush.

4. If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier,

please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

IMPORTANT:

IN ORDER TO RETAIN THE

EFFICIENCY OF YOUR AIR PURIFIER, THE
HEPA FILTER NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY

6 MONTHS.

NOTE:

Your air purifier has a filter condition sticker

that servers as a colour coded reference point.
1. Every few weeks check the condition of the

pre-filter.

2. Remove the inlet grill. If the foam pre-filter has

collected a noticeable amount of dust, remove
it from the inlet of the grill and wash it in warm
soapy water. Rinse and dry the pre-filter thoroughly
before replacing it in the inlet of the grill.

3. With the inlet grill removed, remove the HEPA

cartridge and dispose in the dustbin. DO NOT
try to wash and re-use the HEPA filter. Replace
with a new HEPA filter-BAPF30 removing the
protective plastic bag before inserting into the
air purifier.

4. Align the clips on the side of your HEPA filter with

the rails on the inside of the unit. Gently slide
the filter onto the rails.

5. The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter

hang tabs. Do not use force while attaching the
filter clip to the filter. Align the clip on the side of
your HEPA filter with the rails on the inside of
the unit.

NOTE:

The pleated material and rubber gasket

should be facing towards the unit when applied.

6. Replace the inlet grill by sliding back on to the

unit. Make sure that it snaps securely into position
(the grill only goes on one way)

NOTE:

Do not point outlet towards wall.
