Frequently Asked Questions - HEPAtech 30378 HUNTER

How often should I replace the pre-filter and HEPA filter?

The carbon pre-filter should be replaced approximately every 1400 hours (about 3 months of use). The HEPAtech filter should be replaced approximately every 2800 hours (about 4-6 months). However, actual life depends on usage and air quality. The filter life counters on the unit indicate remaining life in 5% increments.

How do I reset the filter life counters after changing filters?

After replacing the pre-filter, press and hold the PRE-FILTER RESET key for 2 seconds. For the HEPA filter, press and hold the FILTER RESET key for 2 seconds. The counter will reset to 100%.

Why is the unit not turning on?

First, ensure the unit is plugged into a 120V outlet. Check that the front grill is correctly installed – the unit will not operate if the grill is not properly closed. If it still doesn't work, unplug the unit for 30 seconds to reset it.

What does the keypad lock indicator mean and how do I unlock it?

The keypad lock prevents accidental changes. When locked, pressing any key shows the lock indicator for 1-2 seconds. To unlock, press and hold the UP/DOWN keys simultaneously for 2-3 seconds until the indicator disappears.

Can I use the ionizer all the time?

The ionizer can be turned on for improved air quality, but DO NOT use it if tobacco smoke, air fresheners, dripless wax candles, or grease from cooking is present. Otherwise, it is safe to use continuously.

What should I do if the filter indicator flashes 0%?

The filter life counter has reached its maximum usage time. Check and replace the corresponding filter (pre-filter or HEPA). After replacement, reset the counter as described.

My air purifier has reduced airflow or is noisier than usual. What's wrong?

The filter is likely clogged and needs to be replaced. Check the HEPA filter color against the chart inside the housing. If it matches the darkest color or if airflow is low, replace the filter.

How do I clean the air purifier?

Always unplug before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth. The front grill can be removed and washed in soapy water after taking off the pre-filter. Ensure the grill is completely dry before reinstalling to prevent damage.

Where can I buy replacement filters?

Replacement filters are available at most retailers carrying Hunter Air Purifiers. You can also order directly from Hunter by phone [phone]) or online at www.hunterfan.com. Pre-filter: 30901, HEPA filter: 30931.

Does the air purifier work on an uneven surface?

No, the air purifier is designed for use on a flat, level surface. Placing it on an uneven surface may cause improper operation. Always use it on a firm, level floor.

ION

Thank you for purchasing the HEPAtech™

Air Purification System from Hunter Fan Company. You have purchased our latest development in portable Air Purification

Systems. This system has been developed to improve the quality of the air you breathe.

Our HEPAtech™ Air Purification System out performs other air purification systems by quickly and effectively removing dust, smoke, and pollen particles as small as .3 microns in size. Room air is pulled in through the front right grill and cleaned across the HEPAtech™ filter. Clean air is then released out the front left grill in order to avoid stirring up settled particles.

The following innovative features are included in your Hunter Air Purifier.

• High Particulate Efficiency: The

HEPAtech™ filter will remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 micron particles from the air that passes through the filter.

- Odor Removal: The activated carbon prefilter helps remove odors such as cooking, smoke, and pet smells from the air. It also traps lint, hair, and other large particles to help extend the life and performance of the HEPAtech™ filter.

- Ionizer: The ionizer improves the quality of air in the room by releasing negative ions into the air that attract positively charged dust, smoke, and pollen particles.

- Filter Calendar: Filter maintenance is critical to the performance of the air purifier. To help you determine when to change the pre-filter and clean the HEPAtech™ filter, the unit has a built in Filter Calendar Dial that keeps track of the life remaining on each filter.

uSInG your alr Purlfler

1. Take the air purifier out of the box and remove the clear plastic protective bag. Place the unit on a firm level floor.
2. Before turning on the air purifier, you need to confirm that the filters are firmly in place and have not become loose during shipping. To check the filters, first open the

front grill. Release the front grill by placing your fingers behind the tabs and pulling forward.

1. Next, check the HEPAtech™ filter by pressing firmly on all four corners of the filter to ensure that it is fully inserted into the filter opening.

Figure 1.

1. The carbon pre-filter is mounted inside the front grill with hook tape. Confirm that it properly covers the grill vents. You may notice a few black particles coming off the pre-filter. Those particles are part of the odor-removing activated carbon and will be collected on the filter during use.
2. Place the front grill back onto the unit. First, line up the tabs on the bottom of the grill with the openings on the purifier base and then push the top of the grill forward until it is closed.

NOTE: This unit will not operate unless the grill is in the correct position.

1. Plug the unit into a 120V electrical outlet.

The above is an illustration of how the HEPAtech™ air purification system works. Dust and other irritants are pulled into the air purification system and cleaned through the Carbon Pre-Filter, HEPAtech™ Filter, and by the ionizer. Clean, purified air is then released into the room through the top grill.

uSInG THE IonIZer

Using the ionizer improves the quality of air in the room. Negative ions are released into the air and positively charged dust, smoke, and pollen particles are attracted to the negative ions. These particles settle out of the air and can be vacuumed up during normal cleaning. These particles are also more easily captured by the HEPAtech™ filter as they pass through the HEPAtech™ Air Purification System. To ensure the best air circulation in the room, we recommend that you place your air purifier six (6) inches away from any walls.

NOTE: DO NOT run the ionizer if tobacco smoke, air fresheners, dripless wax candles, or grease from cooking is present.

1. To turn the ionizer on, press the IONIZER key. The Ionizer Indicator will appear on the display. Refer to Figure 3.

2. To turn the ionizer off, press the IONIZER key. The Ionizer Indicator will disappear.

fllTer rePlaCemenT

The pre-filter and filter are critical to the proper operation of the air purifier. To help you know when to change the filters, your Hunter Air Purifier has Filter Life Counters that will monitor the percentage of life your filter has left. Although the exact life of the filters depends on the environment, the table below gives typical usage times of the filters.

Filter Type Typical Usage

Carbon Pre-Filter 1400 Hours

HEPAtechTM Filter 2800 Hours

The display shows the percentage of life left since the counter was reset.

NOTE: The percentage level drops in 5% increments.

The values of the Pre-Filter and Filter Life Counters are stored in the air purifier's memory.

Note: The unit may be unplugged and moved or stored without losing the Pre-Filter and Filter Counter values.

To properly track filter usage, the Pre-Filter and Filter Life Counters should be reset each time the filters are changed.

CHanGInG THE Pre-fllTer

When the Pre-Filter exceeds 1400 hours (refer to Filter Life Counters for additional information), the Pre-Filter Life Counter will display 0% life remaining and the Pre-Filter indicator will flash as a reminder that you should replace the pre-filter. To maintain proper odor-removing capability and overall filtration performance, the pre-filter should be changed every 1400 hours (approximately 3 months of use). If necessary, the pre-filter can be changed more often. Proper maintenance of the pre-filter will help extend the life of the HEPAtech™ filter.

1. First, turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. Next, remove the front grill. Place your fingers in the recesses on either side of the top of the grill and pull firmly.
3. The pre-filter is attached to the inside of the grill with hook tape. Pull gently on the pre-filter to remove it.
4. If needed, use a soft damp cloth to wipe off the grill.
5. Install the new pre-filter by placing it in the grill and pressing gently on the pre-filter so that it adheres to the hook tape. You may notice a few black particles coming off the pre-filter. Those particles are part of the odor-removing activated carbon and will be collected on the filter during regular use.
6. Install the grill back onto the unit. First, line up the tabs on the bottom of the grill with the openings on the purifier base and then push the top of the grill forward until it is closed.
7. Plug in the air purifier.

NOTE: This unit will not operate unless the grill is in the correct position.

1. Finally, reset the Pre-Filter Counter by pressing the PRE-FILTER RESET key for 2 seconds. The Pre-Filter Counter will return to 100% and the Pre-Filter indicator will stop flashing.

CHanGInG THE HePaTeCH™ fillTer

When the filter exceeds 2800 hours (approximately 4 to 6 months of use), the Filter Life Counter will display 0% life remaining and the Filter indicator will flash. This is a reminder that you should check the filter and replace if necessary. The proper time to change the filter depends on usage and the environment. Use the following list to help determine if the filter should be changed:

• Compare the color of the filter to the color coded chart on the inside of the housing. If the filter color matches the darkest color on the chart, you should replace the filter.
• If you notice a decrease in air output or an increase in noise at any time during normal operation, the filter may be clogged. Replace the filter to return to normal operation.

To change the filter and reset the Filter Life Counter:

1. First, turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. Next, remove the front grill. Place your fingers in the recesses on either side of the top of the grill and pull firmly.
3. Gently pull on the filter to remove it from the unit. While removing the filter, note the directional arrows printed on the side of the filter. The new filter will be installed with the same orientation. Once removed, the used filter can be discarded.
4. Remove the new filter from its wrapping and look at the directional arrows printed on the side of the filter. Install the filter with arrows pointing towards the unit. Press the filter firmly into the air purifier. To avoid damaging the filter media, you should press on the frame of the filter only.
5. Reinstall the grill by first lining up the tabs on the bottom of the grill with the openings on the air purifier base and then pushing the top of the grill forward until it is closed.
6. Plug in the unit.

NOTE: This unit will not operate unless the grill is in the correct position.

1. To reset the filter counter, press the FILTER RESET key for 2 seconds. The Filter Counter will return to 100% and the Filter indicator will stop flashing.

malnTenanCe

NOTE: To avoid risk of electric shock, always unplug the unit before cleaning.

1. Clean the outside of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. The front grill can be cleaned in soapy water after it has been removed from the unit and the pre-filter has been removed. See Figure 1.

NOTE: Ensure the grill is completely dry before reinstalling it on the unit. Failure to do so could cause damage to the filters or motor.

1. At least every 90 days, open the front grill, remove the carbon pre-filter, and replace it. This is necessary to maintain proper odor-removing and overall filtration performance. If necessary, it can be changed more often. Remember to change the Pre-Filter Calendar Dial to reflect the new Pre-Filters installation to remove any plastic wrapping that may be on the new filter before you place it into the Air Purifier.

2. The HEPAtech™ filter should be removed every 6 months of use and matched to the color indicator on the inside of the filter compartment. When the filter matches the dark, charcoal gray indicator, it should be replaced. Your new HEPAtech™ filter will have an arrow on the side to indicate air flow and the direction the filter should be placed in the unit.

NOTE: This unit will not operate unless the grill is in the correct position.
