IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

DANGER - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

• Always unplug the air cleaner from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
  • Always place the air cleaner on a firm, level surface.
• Always place the air cleaner at least six (6) inches away from walls and three (3) feet from heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters.
• DO NOT operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
• DO NOT reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately.
• DO NOT place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• DO NOT place in or drop into water or other liquid.
• Keep dry - DO NOT operate in wet or moist conditions.
• Check your air cleaner cord and plug connections. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat. Be sure the plug fits tightly in the outlet.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS:

• Extreme caution is necessary when any air cleaner is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the air cleaner is left operating and unattended.
  • Always unplug the air cleaner when not in use.
• Do not operate the air cleaner with a damaged cord or plug, or after the air cleaner malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return to HoMedics Consumer Relations for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
• This air cleaner is not intended for use in bathroom, laundry areas and similar moist indoor locations. Never locate air cleaner where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
• 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 areas where it can be tripped over.
• To disconnect the air cleaner, first turn controls to the OFF position, then remove plug from outlet.
• Do not tilt or move the air cleaner while it is in operation. Shut off and remove plug from outlet before moving.
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the air cleaner.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on any soft surface, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
• Use this air cleaner only for its intended 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.

Main Features of the HoMedics True HEPA Air Cleaner

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. 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 do so could result in an electric shock hazard.

Control Panel

NOTE: The Clean/Reset Filter Indicator MUST be pressed to reset the indicator after you have cleaned and replaced the filter.

Operating Instructions

Turning the Unit On

• Take the air cleaner out of the box and remove the clear protective plastic bag.

• This air cleaner has 3 fan speed settings: LOW (1), MEDIUM (2), and HIGH (3). The higher the fan speed setting, the faster the air will be cleaned. To select or change fan speed, slide the FAN SPEED control until desired speed is reached.
  • To turn the air cleaner off, press the ON/OFF ⏻ Control.

Clean Filter Indicator Button

This air cleaner is equipped with a CLEAN FILTER indicator button to let you know when the True HEPA filter requires cleaning. Generally this is every 480 hours of use. When the True HEPA filter requires cleaning, the CLEAN FILTER indicator button on the control panel will illuminate.

If the air cleaner is used daily, we recommend cleaning the True HEPA filter more frequently.

Replacing True HEPA Filter

With regular cleaning the life of the True HEPA filter is approximately 12-18 months under typical household usage and conditions. We recommend replacing your filter every year. To purchase replacement True HEPA filters, model # AF-10FL, go back to your retailer (where you purchased your air cleaner), or visit www.homedics.com.

After cleaning or replacing the True HEPA filter, be sure to reset the filter indicator by pressing the CLEAN/RESET FILTER INDICATOR BUTTON for several seconds until an audible chime sounds and the light turns off.

Cleaning the True HEPA Filter

Make sure that the air cleaner is turned OFF and unplugged from the outlet before cleaning.
