HOW YOUR HEPA AIR CLEANER WORKS

Dirty, dust-laden air is drawn through the Air Intake Grill of the
unit where it first passes through the HEPA filter cartridge.
The HEPA media removes virtually all airborne particles passing
through it.

Additionally, the filter is treated with Microban

®

antimicrobial

protection. This protects the filter by inhibiting the growth of
odor-causing bacteria and mold on the filter surface.

The air then passes through an activated carbon filter, which
helps to remove odors.

Finally the outlet air stream has a negative ion emitter which
further enhances the cleaning of the air through the electrostatic
precipitation of small airborne particles.

Clean air is not a luxury – It is a necessity!

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

1. Air Intake Grill – Air is drawn into the front/top

(depending on unit orientation) of the air cleaner.

2. Air Exit Grill – After the air has been cleaned, it is

dispersed into the surroundings through the outlet grill.

3. Negative Ion Source – A feature of the air cleaner is the

incorporation of a negative ion generator. Negative ions help
clean the air by electrostatic precipitation of small airborne

particles. If the unit is close to a wall and/or in a very polluted
area, some deposition of particles on objects surrounding
the Air Cleaner will occur and may accelerate the natural
darkening of the immediate environment. To avoid
discoloration of walls, move unit away from wall
or operate ionizer only as needed.

4. Function Switch – The units mode of operation is controlled

by a simple rotary switch. The user can select the unit to
have fan operation with or without ions being emitted.
This switch also turns the unit “off”.
