PRODUCT FEATURES
Ioniser
This appliance has an optional ioniser feature
which, when turned on, releases negative ions
into outgoing filtered air to help the air purification
process.
What Are Ions?
Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or
negative charge. They exist naturally around us:
in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and
negative ions are colourless, odourless, and
completely harmless.
How Does The Ioniser Work?
Negative ions help air purification 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. The larger particles are then
more easily captured by the filter system.
Important Notes:
Your ioniser may produce an occasional popping
or cracking sound. This is normal and occurs
when a small buildup of ions is discharged.
After extended use, you may notice dust around
the grills or front panel.
• This is caused by negative ions exiting the air
outlet, evidence of the ioniser’s air cleaning
effectiveness.
• You can remove the dust with a soft brush or
clean, damp cloth.
Larger particles may be attracted to positively
charged surfaces throughout the home, like walls
or floors.
• This may occur more frequently when the
filter is nearing the end of its useful product
life and unable to capture as many charged
particles.
• Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or
smoke may decrease the life expectancy of
the filter(s) and interfere with the ionisation
process.
To help prevent particles from attracting to
surfaces throughout your home:
• You may want to run the ioniser less often.
• Check the condition of the filter(s) more
frequently.
CAUTION:
The ioniser in this appliance produces
less ozone than the UL established limits of
50ppb (tested and listed by the Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc.). However, in high
concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds
and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we
suggest using the ioniser in well ventilated areas
with the fan on.
IMPORTANT:
Always clean the filter at the
recommended intervals (See CLEANING THE
PERMANENT HEPA-TYPE FILTER). Using
the ioniser with dirty filters may result in dirty
particles exiting the air purifier and attracting
to walls, carpets, furniture, or other household
objects. These dirty particles may prove difficult
to remove.
HEPA-TYPE FILTER
The filter allows easy maintenance and
eliminates the hassle of filter replacement.
HEPA-type (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters
are designed to remove up to 99% of airborne
pollutants, at 2 microns or larger, from the air that
passes through them. These include tobacco
smoke, household dust, pet dander and pollen.
Filter Indicator
The filter indicator light eliminates guesswork
by letting you know when it is time to clean the
filters.
Night Light
The Night Light offers an optimal illumination for
night time use. Press the Night Light button to
activate and de-activate the night light.
High,Medium, and Low Speed Settings
For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire
™
Air Purifier continuously on the 3 setting. Its
rugged motor has been designed to give many
years of use. For quieter operation (such as in a
bedroom), select 1 setting.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully unpack your air purifier.
2. Select a firm, level surface with no
obstructions to the air inlets or outlets.
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped,
remove plastic bag before use and place
filters into unit (See REINSTALLING THE
FILTER AFTER CLEANING).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
• Remove all plastic bags from filters before
use.
• DO NOT POINT THE FILTERED AIR
OUTLET TOWARDS A WALL.
• DO NOT USE THE IONISER FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS CAN CAUSE
BLACKENING OF WALLS IF THE FILTERS
ARE NOT CLEANED REGULARLY.
