Without properly calibrated airow, products with a True HEPA Filter will not achieve their full ltration potential. Gaps, poorly sealed lter housings, and excessive air velocity all reduce the effectiveness of the product. Independent testing labratory veries that the precise calibration of a Vornado Air Purier allows it to perform at True HEPA standards. 2 STAGE FILTRATION Carbon ltration captures odors and prolongs HEPA lter life. HEPA 14 ltration captures 99.995% of particles

0.3 microns or larger, to

effectively clean large volumes of air.

Peak performance is only realized when genuine Vor- nado Carbon and HEPA 14 lters are used. Others may claim to be compatible with Vornado units, but the Vornado Air Purier is calibrated to achieve a 99.995% capture rate of particles 0.3 microns or larger, only when used with Vornado Filters.
