THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly
into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
• If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped: Remove
plastic bag before use.
•
Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire
hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat
registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.
• To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse
in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children, or disabled persons.
• Always unplug the air cleaner before moving it, opening
the grill, changing the filters, cleaning, or whenever the
air cleaner is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and
not the cord.
• NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance
malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
• Use appliance only for intended household use as
described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by JCS/THG,
LLC may cause hazards.
• DO NOT use outdoors.
• NEVER block the air openings, grills/outlets or place on
a soft surface such as a bed or sofa, as this could
cause the unit to tip over, blocking the Air Intake
Opening/Grill.
• Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.
• DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or
mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void
your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user
serviceable parts except the filter. All servicing should
be performed by qualified personnel only.
•
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
DO NOT use this air cleaner with any solid-state speed
control device.
• DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance has a POLARIZED AC
PLUG (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the air cleaner. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
Thank you for choosing a Bionaire
®
air cleaner. To
ensure the best performance from your air cleaner,
please read and save the following instructions.
IONIZER
Your Air Cleaner has an independently controlled ionizer,
which, when turned on, releases negative ions into
outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a
positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally
around us, in the air, water and ground. Both positive and
negative ions are colorless, odorless 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
ionization affect caused by the negative ions exiting from
the air outlet. This is additional evidence of the air cleaning
effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily
removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.
NOTE:
It is important to clean the PERMAtech
™
filter at
the recommended intervals. Using the ionizer in conjunction
with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air
cleaner and being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture or
other household objects. These dirty particles may prove very
difficult to remove.
If the filters are enclosed in
plastic bags please ensure
that the bags are removed
prior to operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully unpack your Air Cleaner. Select a firm level
place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or
filtered air outlet. A good location in a room is

designed to give many years of use.
For continuous use, it’s recommended to operate the air
cleaner at the MEDIUM setting. For quieter operation or
use in a bedroom, select the LOW setting. When high
levels of air particulates are present, select the HIGH
setting to quickly circulate and filter the room air.
