To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces
throughout your home:
• You may want to run the ionizer less often.
• Check the condition of the filter(s) more frequently.
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 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 cleaner at your
convenience, for up to 8 hours, and automatically turns
the power off when time is up, to help reduce energy
costs.
HIGH /MEDIUM, AND LOW SPEED SETTINGS
For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire
®
Air
Cleaner continuously on the HI setting. Its rugged motor
has been designed to give many years of use. For quieter
operation (such as in a bedroom), select LOW setting.
