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. 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.
Timer
The timer allows you to run the air purifier at
your convenience, for up to 8 hours, and
automatically turns the power off when time is up.
High,Medium, and Low Speed Settings
For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire
TM
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 FILTERED AIR OUTLET
TOWARDS WALL.
• DO NOT USE IONISER FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS CAN CAUSE
BLACKENING OF WALLS IF THE FILTERS
ARE NOT CLEANED REGULARLY.
To operate your air purifier:
1. Press the POWER button (
).
• The air purifier will turn on at speed 1.
2. Select filtering speed by pressing POWER
button (
) until you reach the desired speed
- 3, 2, 1 or OFF.
• The air purifier will also turn off when you
press the POWER button (
) for 3
seconds at any speed.

SAFETY PRECAUTION
Carefully read and retain all instructions before
using the air purifier.
• To avoid fire or shock hazard, check that the
voltage on the product corresponds to your
electricity supply and plug directly into an
electrical outlet.
• To avoid fire hazard, never put the cord under
rugs, or near any heat source.
• Carefully discard any plastic wrapping that
was used for the packaging.
• Do not use the air purifier outside.
• Do not place the unit near any heat source or
in direct sunlight.
• Always unplug the air purifier before removing
the grill, changing the filters, cleaning the air
purifier or whenever it is not in use.
• Do not use in or around water or any other
liquids.
• Do not attempt to wash the unit under running
water.
• Use appliance only for intended household
use as described in this manual.
• Ensure that all air openings are not restricted
or covered in any way.
• Do not place anything on top of the unit.
• Never insert any object into any openings.
• Do not use the air purifier if any part is
missing or damaged in any way.
• Do not attempt to repair or adjust any
mechanical functions of this unit. If the unit
becomes damaged return to the place of
purchase or phone the helpline number on the
back of this leaflet.
• If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid hazard.
• The air purifier contains no user serviceable
parts and should the product suffer damage or
breakdown, it must be returned to the

not play with the appliance.
HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
Your Bionaire
TM
air purifier 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, mould 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 ioniser naturally improves
performance and helps freshen the air.
• Slim tower design allows placement in almost
any area of the room.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Air Quality Particle Sensor
Your Bionaire
TM
air purifier includes a particle
sensor that measures indoor air quality. When
set to auto mode, it 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.
Ioniser
This appliance has an optional ioniser feature
which, when turned on, releases negative ions
