Improve your indoor air quality with your new Germ Guardian® Air Cleaning System. Multiple levels of cleaning include a combination filter that captures allergens, and Charcoal filter to remove odors. UV-C Light Technology enhances germ-killing.
Pre-Filter Screen
Helps optimize the unit performance and extends the life of the filter by capturing larger dust and allergen particles.
Activated Carbon Filter
Traps and controls household odors and harmful VOC's in the home.
Filter
Reduces allergens.
UV-C Light
UV-C Light Technology works with Titanium Dioxide (TiO ^2 ) to enhance the elimination of airborne germs. TiO ^2 is activated by the UV-C light to decompose remaining odor molecules caused by smoking, cooking and pets.
Ionizer Option
Negative ions clear the air of dust, mold spores, pollen, pet dander, and odors. They do this by attaching to these positively charged particles in large numbers. This causes the pollen, mold, etc to become too heavy to stay airborne.

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. Higher CADR rates provide improved performance in all room sizes. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms when all the doors and windows are closed.
This value represents performance that can be expected within the first 72 hours of operation.
Subsequent use may vary with use.
Tested per ANSI/AHAM AC-1 National Standard
What is CADR?
CADR stands for "Clean Air Delivery Rate," which indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by an air purifier. CADR ratings show the effectiveness of how efficient the air purifier is at capturing fine particules from things such as tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room.
NOTE: Do NOT stick any foreign objects or your fingers inside of the unit.
CAUTION: Do NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner, harsh cleaners, etc. on and/or in the unit while cleaning as they will damage the product. NEVER use alcohol or other solvents.
