Congratulations on your purchase of a Roomaid™ portable air filtration system! With prop-
er care and maintenance your Roomaid™ will provide years of reliable service and improve
the quality of your air.
Operating Instructions
1. Set the unit down on a dresser, desk or other piece of sturdy furniture.
2. Using the adapter cord, insert the small plug into the receptacle at the back of the unit. Plug the
other end into a wall receptacle.
3. Choose a speed setting and let the unit run continuously.
PLEASE NOTE:
•THE FIRST TIME YOU USE YOUR ROOMAID™ let the unit run on the high-speed setting for sev-
eral hours before using the room. This gives the unit time to stir up and filter out excess dust. It is
also a good idea to vacuum and dust the room before using the unit for the first time. After the ini-
tial cleaning period, let the unit run continuously. Use the high-speed setting for maximum perfor-
mance.
• The AC ADAPTOR
may feeL fairly warm to the touch when it is plugged into a wall receptacle.
This is normal.
• DO NOT SIT ON THE UNIT OR PLACE ANYTHING HEAVY ON TOP OF IT.
Cleaning your Roomaid™
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the unit. You can also use a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not let water
get into the filters or the motor/fan housing.
About Roomaid’s three-stage filtration and changing filters
Stage 1: Washable Prefilter
The prefilter prolongs the life of the HEPA filter by removing large particulates before they can
reach the HEPA filter. Clean the prefilter when it starts becoming visibly covered with dust. Wash it
in your washing machine or hand-wash it with warm water and detergent. Let it dry thoroughly
before replacing it. Two prefilters are provided. Use the second prefilter while the other is drying.
Change the prefilter if it no longer fits snugly, or it gets damaged.
Stage 2: HEPA Cartridge
HEPA media with 99.97% efficiency @ 0.3 microns.
Replace every 2-5 years depending on usage and your environment-e.g. smoking vs. non-
smoking
Stage 3: V.O.C. Filter
The V.O.C. (Volatile Organic Compound) filter removes household chemicals that may
off-gas from household cleaners, paints, solvents, carpets, furniture and other materials
containing chemical substances.
Replace every 6-12 months depending on usage.
HEPA Filter Replacement
As the HEPA filter captures particulates, it will darken over time.
Replace the HEPA filter when it darkens to example D.
