POWER
Function ON and OFF by pressing the Power Button.

FAN SPEED
4 fan speed settings to meet any need. Select Quick Clean, High, Medium, or Low by pressing the Fan Speed button. The Quick Clean filtration setting can be used to rapidly filter the air when airborne particle levels are high.

Note: Dust and allergens are most airborne when persons and pets are active in the room. For best results, set the unit on Quick Clean during these times of high-demand cleaning and circulation. Set the unit to a lower setting for quieter operation when activity is reduced.

FILTER REPLACEMENT 
Equipped with a Filter Replacement indicator light to show when it is recommended to change the filter. Please refer to FILTER REPLACEMENT for instructions. This feature is controlled by the time of use. The light will illuminate after 4,500 hours of run time have accumulated.

Note: User environments will differ. The filter replacement time is based on average use situations. If you are using the air cleaner in a more demanding environment, you may need to change your filter more frequently. In a less polluted environment,s the filter life may extend beyond the notification.

USER TIPS

1. Keep the retail carton in to store unit when not in use.
2. For best results, position the front of the unit (side with logo) towards the center of the room, leaving at least a 6-inch distance away from walls or furniture on every side.
