SET-UP AND OPERATION
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: follow these instructions for best results
Place unit at least ½ meter from the wall. Keep unit away from drafty areas. Keep curtains

CLEANING:
Clean unit as necessary by wiping with a dry, soft cloth; for stubborn stains, use a warm, damp cloth. Do not use volatile fluids such as benzene, paint thinner, or scouring powder, as they may
damage the unit surface. Keep the unit dry.
FILTER REPLACEMENT:
The replacement filter indicators will signal when to replace the True HEPA Filter and/
or Carbon Filter. The replacement period will vary depending on the hours of use and
air quality. However, under normal usage, most True HEPA Filters need to be replaced
annually, and Carbon Filters every three months.
Do not wash and reuse the True HEPA or Carbon Filters—they will not work effectively.
Only use Fellowes brand AeraMax™ replacement filters.

TROUBLESHOOTING: Solutions to common problems
Review this list before you call for service. This list covers problems that are not the result of defective materials or workmanship.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS/WARNING
WARNING:
Follow the instructions in this manual to reduce the risk of electric shock, short circuit, and/or fire:
PROBLEM:
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
The unit leaves smoke and odors in the air.
Make sure the sensor is not blocked or clogged. Move the unit closer to the offending odors. Replace the filters as needed.
The unit seems to produce odors.
Replace the filters as needed.
The unit makes a faint ticking sound.
This indicates that the PlasmaTRUE™ function is working.
The unit interferes with radio or television reception.
Because this unit radiates radio frequency energy, we suggest you try one or more of the following:
- For better reception, adjust the television/radio antenna.
- Move the unit away from the affected television/radio.
- Plug the unit power cord into an outlet different from the television/radio power cord.
The True HEPA and Carbon Filter indicators remain lit after replacing the
True HEPA and/or Carbon Filter.
Repeat filter light reset instructions from the Set-Up and Operation section.
The PlasmaTRUE™ icon is not illuminated.
Touch and hold PlasmaTRUE™ icon for five seconds until unit beeps.
The wrong filter replacement light was reset.
In the case of unintended filter reset, repeat the filter reset procedure from the Set-Up and Operation section within
5 minutes of unintended reset. The filter counter and indicator will return to the status previous to the reset.
