Initial Settings
Before using your Clear Air Whole Home Air Purifier you will need to determine the
area (or square footage) of the environment . To do this accurately, take into account
all connected rooms with open doorways (the purification does not flow through
closed doors) . The Clear Air Whole Home Air Purifier can purify up to 3,000 square
feet of space .
For example: Suppose you have a 2,500 square foot house . The living room is
attached to the kitchen, three bedrooms, the den and a laundry room . The kitchen
and three bedrooms’ doors remain open the majority of the time, but the laundry
room and den usually remain closed off from the rest of the house . Together, the
laundry room and den have a combined area of 500 square feet . The area of the
environment you would want to set your Clear Air Whole Home Air Purifier to purify
would be 2,000 square feet .
Once you have calculated the area of the environment and determined an ideal
location for the unit, connect the POWER CORD to the DC POWER ADAPTER and
the DC POWER ADAPTER PLUG into the unit. (Check to be sure your power supply is
properly assembled . The POWER CORD should be inserted far enough into the DC
POWER ADAPTER so that a space of only about 1/8 in . is left between the widest part
of the POWER CORD and the edge of the DC POWER ADAPTER .)
1 . Insert the Power Plug into the wall outlet .
2 . Turn the Clear Air Whole Home Air Purifier on and set it to NORMAL MODE (PCO)
(see CONTROLS)
3 . Leave the Clear Air Whole Home Air Purifier on NORMAL MODE (PCO) for at least
24 hours to begin with .
4 . After 24 hours, set the Clear Air Whole Home Air Purifier to HIGH MODE and set
the square footage to 250 square feet .
5 . Gradually increase the square footage setting every 12 - 24 hours until you reach
the accurate square footage of your area which you calculated in the beginning
steps) . Note: Using the Clear Air Whole Home Air Purifier at a setting less than
the square footage of the area being treated is acceptable and may be desirable
in an environment relatively free of pollutants .
6 . Use your nose to confirm the proper square footage setting . If the setting is too
low for the area, you may notice musty, cooking, animal, or other types of odors .
If the setting is too high, you may notice an oxidation smell which some liken to
the smell of chlorine. In either case, adjust the square footage on the DISPLAY
using the PURIFIER LEVEL CONTROL up or down by 250 ft
2
until the only smell
you notice is a clean, fresh living space .
