The Allergy Pro™ AP450 is a professional air purifier designed to improve indoor air quality by removing allergens and irritants. It utilizes a True HEPA filter, which is highly effective at capturing microscopic particles, ensuring cleaner and healthier air in your home or office.

Function Description

The primary function of the Allergy Pro™ AP450 is air purification. It draws in ambient air, passes it through a multi-stage filtration system, and then releases purified air back into the environment. The core of its purification capability lies in its True HEPA filter, which is engineered to capture at least 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns. This includes common allergens and irritants such as smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, and dust mites.

Beyond filtration, the AP450 also incorporates a built-in ionizer. This feature helps to revitalize the air by releasing negative ions, which can further aid in the removal of airborne particles by causing them to clump together and fall out of the air, making them easier for the filter to capture or for surfaces to be cleaned.

The device is designed for continuous operation, offering various settings to suit different air quality needs and user preferences. It is energy-efficient, holding an Energy Star approval, which signifies its low power consumption during operation.

Usage Features

The Allergy Pro™ AP450 is user-friendly, with a straightforward control panel and a digital display that indicates the current settings and operational status.

• Control Panel and Digital Display: The unit features an intuitive control panel with buttons for Ionizer, Power/Fan Speed, and Timer. A digital display provides clear feedback on selected settings, such as the fan speed level and remaining timer duration.
• Ionizer Function: Users can activate or deactivate the ionizer with a dedicated button. When the ionizer is on, it works in conjunction with the filtration system to enhance air purification.
• Fan Speed Settings: The air purifier offers four distinct fan speed settings: Low, Medium, High, and Boost. These settings allow users to adjust the cleaning intensity based on the level of airborne contaminants or personal preference.
  • "Low" and "Medium" speeds are suitable for everyday use and general air maintenance.
  • "High" speed is recommended for areas with higher concentrations of airborne contaminants, such as excessive smoke or pet dander, or for individuals with allergies who require more aggressive air cleaning.
  • "Boost" speed provides a short burst of maximum purification power, ideal for quickly addressing sudden increases in air pollution.
  • When the unit is first plugged in and turned on, it defaults to the "Low" fan speed. Users can cycle through the speeds using the power button.
• Timer Function: A 1-24 hour timer allows users to set a specific duration for the air purifier to operate. Once the set time expires, the unit will automatically turn off, providing convenience and energy savings. The digital display shows the selected run time in hours.
• Placement Guidelines: For optimal performance, it is crucial to place the unit correctly. Both sides of the air purifier should be at least one foot away from any walls to ensure proper airflow. It is also advised not to direct air from a fan or air conditioner directly into the air purifier, as this can affect its efficiency. Furthermore, the unit should not be placed where curtains could obstruct the air inlet or outlet grills. Placing the unit closer to the source of air pollution can significantly enhance its effectiveness in improving indoor air quality.

Maintenance Features

The Allergy Pro™ AP450 is designed for minimal maintenance, primarily focusing on the replacement of its True HEPA filter.

• True HEPA Filter Lifespan: The True HEPA filter has a lifespan of up to twelve months, though this can vary depending on usage and environmental conditions. Regular replacement every twelve months is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
• Filter Replacement Procedure: Replacing the True HEPA filter is a simple process:
  1. Ensure the unit is turned off and unplugged from the electrical outlet for safety.
  2. Facing the front of the unit, gently pull the lid of the inlet grill towards you from the lower end to remove the front grill.
  3. Locate the True HEPA filter and remove it by lifting and pulling the string tabs on both sides of the filter.
  4. Insert a new True HEPA filter into the unit.
  5. Reattach the front grill by first aligning the top hooks and then snapping the lower part back into its locked position.
• Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
  • Unit not operating: If the unit does not turn on, check if the ON/OFF button has been pressed, if the unit is plugged in, and if the inlet grill is properly installed and locked.
  • Reduced airflow or poor filtering: If airflow is diminished or filtering seems ineffective, check for any obstructions blocking the inlet or outlet grills. Additionally, inspect the HEPA filter for clogging and replace it if necessary.

By following these usage and maintenance guidelines, users can ensure their Allergy Pro™ AP450 air purifier operates efficiently and effectively, providing a continuous supply of cleaner, healthier air.
