automatically adjusts the fan speed to cycle between
low, medium and high speed to provide optimum
filtration based on air particulate concentration. It also
helps conserve energy by only operating the fan at higher
speeds when needed.
IONIZER
This appliance has an optional ionizer 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
colorless, odorless, and completely harmless.
How Does The Ionizer 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 ionizer 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 ionizer’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 ionization process.
The green grounding wire or lug extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should
not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact qualified
personnel to install the proper outlet.
This product is for use on 120 volts. DO NOT ALTER
THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.
CORD SAFETY
• The length of cord used on this appliance was
selected to reduce tangling or tripping hazards.
• 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
electrical rating of the air cleaner (see rating label
marked on product).
• 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.
FEATURES
GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR CLEANER
Your Bionarie
®
Air Cleaner features a Permanent
HEPA-Type filter that removes up to 99% of airborne
dust and pollen as small as 2 microns and helps reduce
smoke, mold spores and pet dander from the air passing
through the filter.
• Permanent filters can be vacuumed every few months
for easy cleaning.
• Washable pre-filter captures larger particles and
extends the permanent filter’s cleaning cycle.
• Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and
helps freshen the air.
• Slim tower design allows placement in almost any
area of the room.
