WARNINGS Failure to comply with the warnings listed below may result in electric shock or serious injury. This product should be used only in accordance with the specifications outlined in this manual. Usage other than what has been specified here may result in serious injury. 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:

• Read all instructions before using appliance.

• IMPORTANT - This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric 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 a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

• To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

• Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiator, stoves or heaters.

• To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.

• Children cannot recognize the hazards associated with the usage of electrical appliances. For this reason, always supervise children when they are near the unit.

• Always unplug the air purifier before moving it, opening the grill, changing filters, cleaning or whenever the air purifier is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.

• NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.

• DO NOT run cord under carpeting.

• DO NOT cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.

• DO NOT route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call Customer Service at 1.866.603.5900 for assistance.

• Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

• DO NOT use outdoors.

• DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

• NEVER block the air openings, grills/outlets or place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to tip over, blocking the air intake or outtake opening.

CADR ratings show the effectiveness of how efficient the air purifier is at capturing fine particles from things like tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room. Clean Air Delivery Rate From air cleaner to air cleaner, compare the CADR numbers. First look at suggested room size. Then refer to the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers. The higher the number, the faster the unit filters the air. Refer to website for individual model CADR numbers. Check that the unit is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the motor protector is triggered. Check that the filter is in the unit and locked. Check that the front panel is latched firmly in place. Unit shuts off unexpectedly or does not operate. SOLUTIONPROBLEM No air circulating from unit. Unplug unit. Check filter. Replace filter if necessary. Increase in noise level. Odors and smoke are not removed. Clean or replace the filter if it appears to be heavily soiled. The discharged air has an aroma or odor. Check to see if the filter is heavily soiled. Replace the filter. Turn off the Ionizer. Make sure the filter is clean. Replace if necessary. NOTE: Do NOT stick any foreign objects or your fingers inside of the unit.
