Genie 28Chapter 9 Frequently Asked Questions
How does Genie differ from aerosol room fresheners?
The more expensive aerosols can produce a very pleasant scent, but only for a few minutes and in
very high concentrations just in the area they were sprayed. Genie is what is known as a “continuous
action” air freshener. Genie is programmed to deliver an evenly distributed scent throughout the
room.
Is Genie eco-friendly?
Yes, Genie is the most eco-friendly air freshener on the market. Unlike aerosols, Genie uses no
propellants and produces no harmful volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Unlike many air
fresheners, Genie uses no ethanol or similar solvents to enhance the evaporation of fragrance
chemicals.
I only want to scent the room at certain times. Do I have to turn it on and
off every time?
Genie has a tiny on-board computer for fully automatic operations. You can set set up to 21 separate
start and stop times. (See Programming the Appliance)
If I want a different scent, can I switch cartridges?
Yes, simply remove the cartridge and replace it with another.
IMPORTANT
Always keep plugs in cartridges when not in use. If you
have misplaced the plugs from the cartridge being
removed from Genie, you can use the plugs from the
new cartridge being inserted.
Will Genie leave deposits on furniture or carpeting?
No, provided you do not direct the output at a surface closer than 12 inches away.
Will Genie fragrances stain surfaces or fabric?
Yes, all air-care fragrances will stain wood and stone and all fabrics if spilled. The best solution is
avoidance by replacing the plugs on cartridges after removing them and keeping the plugs on all
cartridges when not in use.
How do I clean up a drip?
If there is a drip, blot it as quickly as possible and then clean with soap and water.
IMPORTANT
Never situate an Genie on a horizontal surface without
the proper Table Top accessory kit, otherwise spills may
occur.
