Use only with electrical wiring that is in good working order and that meets applicable codes and ordinances. If you have questions regarding your wiring, consult a qualified electrician.

While using your Air Purifier, you should follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS listed below. As part of these instructions, we have used the word "WARNING" to indicate the level of hazard: ⚠ WARNING: indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in injury or death.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using this Air Purifier.
2. Use this Air Purifier only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause electric shock, fire, or injury to persons.
3. Do not operate the Air Purifier with a damaged power cord or after the Air Purifier malfunctions or has been dropped in any manner.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
5. Do not place the Air Purifier on a small, unlevel or uneven surface, or any surface which might allow the Air Purifier to tip, fall, or get knocked over.
6. For proper operation, the Air Purifier should be placed on a smooth, non-combustible surface.
7. The Air Purifier requires a level surface at least 6" (15.2 cm) from heat sources such as ranges or heaters.
8. Do not sit, stand or place heavy objects on the Air Purifier.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Always unplug the Air Purifier when not in use, and before servicing.

2. Do not operate the Air Purifier with any safety devices removed.

3. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.

4. Do not run power cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area where it will not be tripped over.

5. Avoid the use of extension cords due to risk of fire. If an extension cord must be used, the cord must be a minimum 14AWG and rated not less than 1875 watts.

6. Do not insert or allow any object to enter any openings on the Air Purifier. Doing so may cause electric shock and/or fire hazard.

7. Do not block air openings or place Air Purifier on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa.

8. Do not use the Air Purifier where combustible gases or vapors are present.

9. This product is intended for indoor residential use only, not for industrial or other commercial applications. Do not operate outdoors. This warranty is void if the product is ever used for other than private household purposes.

10. The Air Purifier should be connected to a 120 V, 60 Hz outlet.

11. The Air Purifier has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. DO NOT try to alter the plug in any way.

12. A loose fit between the plug and the AC outlet (receptacle) may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to relapse loose or worn outlets.

13. The use of a time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker is recommended.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD

Use your Air Purifier only in dry environments. This Air Purifier is not intended for use in a bathroom, laundry area, or similar locations near sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, or other sources of water. Never locate the Air Purifier where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacle. Do not use in damp environments such as flooded basements.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD

Air Purifiers have arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use near combustible materials or flammable gases or sources of heat. DO NOT USE in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable materials are used or stored. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any intakes or exhaust openings as this may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage to the fan.

WARNING: HOT SURFACES
