Frequently Asked Questions - True Air 04493 HAMILTON BEACH

How to install the filters?

Remove all packaging, then insert the carbon filter aligning the top edge with the locking tabs inside the air intake grille. Push down and insert into the three sets of tabs. Then attach the intake grille to the unit.

When should the carbon filter be replaced?

The carbon filter should be replaced about every 3 months for optimal performance. You can order replacement filters from Hamilton Beach.

How to clean the air purifier?

Unplug the unit. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. The intake grille can be removed and washed in warm soapy water; make sure it is completely dry before reinstalling. The permanent HEPA filter can be cleaned with a vacuum.

What is the ionizer for?

The ionizer emits negative ions into the air. These ions attach to small particles (like dust) to form larger particles that are easier for the HEPA filter to capture.

What are the different speeds?

The control dial offers three speeds: Whisper Clean (quiet operation at low speed), Medium (medium speed for filtering dust, pollen, smoke) and Quick Clean (high speed for immediate purification).

Where to place the air purifier?

Place it on a flat, stable surface near an electrical outlet, in the center of the room for good air circulation. Avoid placing it against furniture, using it in a kitchen or garage, and keep it away from heat sources.

Is the purifier noisy?

In Whisper Clean mode, operation is very quiet. Medium and Quick Clean speeds are more audible but still acceptable for home use.

What to do if the fan does not start?

First check that the wall outlet works and that the speed control knob is on. Make sure the intake and outlet grilles are not blocked. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Is the HEPA filter washable?

The permanent HEPA filter is not washable with water. Clean it with a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Never put it in the dishwasher.

What is the warranty for this product?

This air purifier has a limited one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the original date of purchase. The warranty does not cover glass, filters, normal wear, or damage due to misuse.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

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 purifier. Route the electrical or extension cord where it cannot be tripped over and will be clear of furniture to prevent damage from pinching.

Parts and Features

About the Air Purifier:

The air purifier functions as an air cleaner by helping to remove particulates (such as pet dander, dust, pollen, mold, and mildew spores) from the air.

The air is cleaned in four stages:

1. The fan draws room air into the unit through the air inlet grille.
2. Air then passes through the unit's carbon filter, which assists in eliminating odors.

3. The HEPA-grade permanent filter then removes particles, as small as 5 microns at 99% effectiveness, from air passing through the filter.

4. The purified air is then released back into the room through the air outlet grille.

This product earned the ENERGY STAR® by meeting strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA. US EPA does not endorse any manufacturer claims of healthier indoor air from the use of this product. The energy efficiency of this ENERGY STAR-qualified model is measured based on a ratio between the model's CADR for dust and the electrical energy it consumes—or CADR/Watt.

Selecting the Proper Location

IMPORTANT: Your air purifier is designed for easy use and maintenance. Make sure that you remove all packing materials and that HEPA-grade permanent filter and carbon filter are properly installed before use. Remember to remove the plastic bags from filters before using.

To prevent the risk of personal injury or damage to the air purifier and provide the best possible performance of your air purifier, follow the placement guidelines below:

• Select a central location with adequate air circulation.
• Turn off and unplug the air purifier before moving or servicing it or if it will not be used for several days.
• Route the electrical cord clear of furniture to prevent damage from pinching.

• Do not block the air intake grille with drapes, curtains, or blinds. This may cause reduced performance.
• Do not use in a kitchen, garage, or area with grease, oil, or chemicals such as solvents or insecticides.

Align the top edge of carbon filter with the top set of plastic pegs located inside the air inlet grille. Push the filter down onto all three sets of pegs (top, middle, and bottom) until the plastic pegs poke through the other side of the filter, securing it to the air inlet grille. The air inlet grille can now be placed onto the unit.

WHISPER ^™ CLEAN = quiet operation or constant low-speed filtration
MEDIUM = slightly higher fan speed to filter dust, pollen, smoke, etc.
QUICK ^™ CLEAN = high-speed filtration for more immediate cleaning
IONIZER = releases negatively charged ions into the air, which join with small particles (such as dust) to form large particles that are more easily captured by the filter
