CAUTION:
The ionizer 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 ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.
IMPORTANT:
Always clean the PERMAtech
®
filter at the
recommended intervals (See CLEANING THE PERMAtech
®
FILTER). Using the ionizer 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 PERMATECH
®
FILTER
The PERMAtech
®
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 SERVICE INDICATOR
The Filter Service Indicator (
) eliminates guesswork
by letting you know when it is time to clean the filters.
REMOTE CONTROL
The convenient remote control lets you select the filtering
speed from anywhere in the room.
FOUR SPEED SETTINGS
For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire
®
air
cleaner continuously on the highest (4) setting. Its rugged
motor has been designed to give many years of use. For
quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select the
lowest (1) setting.
TIMER
The timer allows you to run the air cleaner at your
convenience, for up to 9 hours, and automatically turns the
power off when time is up, to help reduce energy costs.
BEFORE USE
1. Carefully unpack your air cleaner.
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. (Reference
Reinstalling The PERMAtech
®
Filter After Cleaning
).
BEFORE USING THE REMOTE CONTROL:
Unpack the remote control from box. It includes one
lithium battery, CR2025/3V. Please note this remote
control will not work through walls.
NOTE:
REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVER FROM THE
BATTERY PRIOR TO BEGINNING OPERATION.
The lithium coin battery used in this product contains
perchlorate material. Special handling may apply in
California. For more information, go to: www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Battery Replacement
1. Locate the battery cover on the back of the remote
control handset.
2. Using a coin, rotate the battery cover
counterclockwise and insert the battery.
CORD SAFETY
• The length of cord used on this appliance was
selected to reduce tangling and 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
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.
GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR CLEANER
Your Bionaire
®
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 dust, 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.
• Remote control allows convenient operation from
anywhere in the room.
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. These
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.
To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces
throughout your home:
• You may want to run the ionizer less often.
• Check the condition of filters more frequently.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include:
• 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 or
cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filters
and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the
unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord.
• NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of
the unit.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit has
been dropped or damaged in any manner, return
appliance to manufacturer for examination and/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 the
manufacturer may cause hazards.
• DO NOT use outdoors.
• NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa
as this could cause the unit to tip over and block the
air inlet or outlet grills.
• Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.
• DO NOT place anything on top of unit.
• 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. All servicing should be performed
by Jarden Consumer Solutions or an authorized
Jarden Consumer Solutions Service Center.
•
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, DO NOT use this air cleaner with any solid-
state speed control device.
• Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.
• NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner,
furniture polish, paint thinner or other household
solvents to clean any part of the air cleaner.
• The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than
the UL established limits of 50ppb (parts per billion).
However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful
to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we
suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with
the fan on.
• This appliance should only be used in a room with
temperatures between 40° F and 110° F.
