REPLACING THE ULTRAVIOLET (UV) BULB
Over time, the UV-C bulb will lose some intensity. We
recommend you replace the UV-C bulb at least once every year.
You will know when it is time to change the bulb when you can
no longer see a blue glow through the front of the unit or when
the LED above the UV button on the control panel is flashing.
Check for proper installation. See changing the UV bulb. If that
does not solve the issue, we recommend purchasing a
replacement bulb.
To replace the UV Bulb, follow the below instructions:
1. Turn off the air purifier and unplug the unit
2. Allow the UV bulb to cool down for approximately 15
minutes before handling.
3. Remove the rear grill and HEPA filter.
4. Use screwdriver to remove two screws and detach the
metal UV bulb access panel. Grab the UV bulb and gently
pull it out of the lamp socket. (see Figures 4B & C).
CAUTION: UV lamp is a glass product, please handle it
carefully. If desired, wear gloves to protect your hands.
5. Install a new UV lamp by inserting it into the lamp
socket and securing the UV lamp cover back onto the
unit with screws. Ensure proper installation of the metal
access panel. If installed incorrectly, the unit will not
operate. Reinstall the filter and rear grill.
WARNINGS:
• Ultraviolet-C light is emitted from the bulb when the unit
is plugged in. Do not expose eyes or skin to direct light
from ultraviolet light. Severe eye injury or irritation
could result.
• UV lamp contains mercury. If the bulb breaks, do not
vacuum or handle with your bare hands. Carefully sweep
debris into a plastic bag and dispose properly at your
local hazardous waste collection site.
• Do not attempt under any circumstance to clean the
bulb, bulb holder or cover with water or wet solutions.
This could result in electrical shock.

Overview

This document is an instruction guide for the Bionaire BAP536UV-U Air Purifier with Ultraviolet Technology, designed for "pure indoor living."

Function Description:

The Bionaire BAP536UV-U is an air purifier that utilizes a 2-stage air purification system to improve indoor air quality. Its primary function is to remove airborne allergens, reduce germs, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. The unit also incorporates an ionizer to enhance the purification process.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Number: BAP536UV-U
  • Power Input: 120V AC electrical outlet (polarized plug)
  • Operating Temperature Range: 40° F to 110° F
  • Air Purification Stages: 2-stage system
    • Stage 1: Permanent HEPA type filter
    • Stage 2: UV-C bulb and PCO (photocatalytic oxidation)
  • Allergen Removal: Up to 99% of airborne allergens as small as 2 microns (ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust, dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander)
  • Germ/Virus Reduction: UV-C light and PCO help reduce germs, viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
  • VOC Removal: PCO helps remove VOCs.
  • Ionizer: Releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air.
  • Ozone Emission: Produces less ozone than the UL established limits of 50ppb.
  • UV Lamp: Contains mercury.
  • Safety Features:
    • Polarized plug
    • Safety interlock switch (unit turns off if rear grill or UV bulb access panel is removed)
  • Energy Efficiency: ENERGY STAR® Certified, measured by CADR for dust and electrical energy consumption (CADR/Watt).
  • Replacement Parts:
    • HEPA type primary filter: Part # 182550
    • UV Bulb: Part # UVB950

Usage Features:

  • Operation:
    1. Unpack the air purifier and place it on a firm, level surface with no obstructions to air inlets or outlets.
    2. Remove the plastic bag from the HEPA filter by opening the back grill, unwrapping the filter, inserting it into the unit, and reinstalling the back grill.
    3. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC outlet.
    4. Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER button (O/). It will default to the optimal filtering speed (HIGH).
    5. Adjust fan speed (HIGH-MED-LOW) by pressing the Fan Speed Button (O/).
    6. Activate the ionizer by pressing the Ionizer Button.
    7. Activate the UV lamp function by pressing the UV Button (). The UV indicator light will illuminate. Press again to deactivate.
    8. Turn off the air purifier by pressing the POWER Button (O/).
  • Speed Settings: Three speed settings (HIGH, MED, LOW) for varying filtration needs. HIGH is recommended for continuous, optimum air filtration. LOW is for quieter operation, such as in a bedroom.
  • Ionizer Functionality: Releases negative ions to help airborne particles clump together, making them easier for the filter to capture. An occasional popping or cracking sound from the ionizer is normal.
  • UV Lamp Functionality: Utilizes UV-C light for sanitizing, reducing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold spores.
  • Portability: Designed to be lifted by the handle.
  • Important Notes for Use:
    • Always remove the plastic bag from the filter before use.
    • Do not point the filtered air outlet towards a wall.
    • Use the ionizer and UV feature in well-ventilated areas with the fan on to prevent ozone buildup.
    • Avoid operating the unit with a dirty filter when using the ionizer, as this may cause dirty particles to attract to surfaces.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning the Unit:
    1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
    2. Clean the outside of the unit, the Air Inlet/Filter Door, and the filtered air outlet with a soft, clean, damp cloth or small soft brush.

    • IMPORTANT: Do not use water, household cleaners, or detergents to clean the permanent filter. If the filter is damaged, contact customer service for replacement.
