PLEASE NOTE:
it is important to change the
HEPA filter at recommended intervals. Using the
ioniser in conjunction with dirty filters may result
in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and being
attracted to walls, carpets, furniture and other
household objects, These dirty particles may
prove very difficult to remove.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. After removing the unit from the box, remove
the plastic covering from the unit.
2. Select a firm level place where there are no
obstructions to the air inlet (front grill) or
filtered air outlet (top of the unit)
3. Remove the front grill by pulling the grill
towards you (see Fig 2)
4. Remove the HEPA filter by gripping on both
sides and pulling forward.
5. Remove protective plastic bag from the filter
cartridge. The filter clip can only be attached
to the hang tabs on the filter one way (see
Fig 3). The filter clip should easily slide onto
the filter hang tabs. Do not use force whilst
attaching the filter clip to the filter. Align the
clip on the top of your HEPA filter with the
rails on the inside of the unit.
NOTE:
The pleated material and rubber gasket
should be facing towards the unit when applied.
6. Replace the front grill by sliding back on to
the unit. Make sure that it snaps securely into
position (the grill only goes on one way).
NOTE:
Do not point outlet towards wall.
OPERATING
1. Plug into a suitable 220 – 240V electrical outlet.
2. Select the required operating speed: Hi (III),
Medium (II), Low (I) by sliding the switch to
the appropriate setting.
3. To release negative ions into the filtered air
slide the ioniser button to ON. The amber
light will illuminate.
4. The ioniser will not work unless the unit is running.
5. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to
operate the air purifier continuously. Its rugged
motor is designed to give many years of service.
6. For continuous use it is recommended to
operate the air purifier at the medium (II) setting.
For quieter operation or use in a bedroom,
select the Low (I) setting. When high levels of
air polution are present, select the HI (III)
setting to quickly circulate clean filtered air.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before
cleaning.
2. The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned
with a soft, clean dampened cloth.
3. The filtered air outlet on the top of the unit
can be cleaned of dust with a small, soft brush.
4. If you wish to clean the inside of the air
purifier, please only use a dry, soft cloth to
wipe it down.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT:
IN ORDER TO RETAIN THE
EFFICIENCY OF YOUR AIR PURIFIER, THE
HEPA FILTER NEEDS TO BE CHANGED
EVERY 3-6 MONTHS.
1. Every few weeks check the condition of the
prefilter.
2. Remove the front grill. If the foam pre-filter has
collected a noticeable amount of dust, remove
it from the inlet of the grill and wash it in warm
soapy water. Rinse and dry the pre-filter
thoroughly before replacing it in the inlet of the grill.
3. With the front grill removed, remove the
HEPA cartridge and dispose in the dustbin.
DO NOT try to wash and re-use the HEPA
filter Replace with a new HEPA filter -
HAPF30 removing the protective plastic bag
before inserting into the air purifier.
4. Align the clips on the top of your HEPA filter
with the rails on the inside of the unit. Gently
slide the filter onto the rails.
5. The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter
hang tabs. Do not use force while attaching
the filter clip to the filter.
Align the clip on the top of your HEPA filter
with the rails on the inside of the unit.
NOTE:
The pleated material and rubber
gasket should be facing towards the unit
when applied.
6. Replace the front grill by sliding back on to
the unit. Make sure that it snaps securely into
position (the grill only goes on one way)
NOTE:
Do not point outlet towards wall.

HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
Dirty, dust laden air is drawn through the front of
the air purifier and through the multi-stage
filtration system.
1. The baking soda filter will help clear odours
making the air cleaner and fresher.
2. The HEPA filter entraps 99% of all smaller
visible and non-visible particles down to 2
microns in size.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Quiet operation -
Your air purifier has been designed to be
unobtrusive around the home and to be very
quiet. The motor provides quiet performance
and durability necessary for continuous use.
Dual position -
The unit can be placed either upright or on its side,
flush against the wall. When positioning the unit be
sure that the air inlet grill, filters and air outlet grill
are not blocked, to ensure maximum air flow.
Ioniser -
Your Bionaire
®
Air Purifier has an independently
controlled ioniser, which when turned on,
releases negative ions into the outgoing filtered
air. Ions are tiny particles that carry either a
positive or negative charge. These ions exist
naturally all around us in the air, water and
ground. Both positive and negative ions are
colourless, odourless 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 ionisation effect caused
by the negative ions exiting from the air outlet.
This dust does not come from the air output, but
is drawn out of the uncleaned air going past the
air outlet. This is additional evidence of the air
cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The
dust can be easily removed with a clean,
dampened cloth or soft brush.
