Introduction
Air Quality in the Home
On average, a person may spend up to 90 percent of his or her time indoors. While
most are aware that outdoor air pollution can aect health, many do not realize that
indoor air pollutants can do the same.
Studies of human exposure to air pollutants by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2 to 5 times higher
than outdoor pollutant levels, making indoor air pollution one of the top ve
environmental health risks.
The best way to address this risk is to control or eliminate sources of pollutants and
ventilate a home with clean outdoor air. However, opportunities for ventilation may
be limited by weather conditions or by contaminants in the outdoor air. If the usual
methods of addressing indoor air pollution are not sucient, air-cleaning devices may
be useful.

Safety Precautions
• Do not operate the unit in a bathroom or any room with high levels of humidity.
• Avoid placing anything on top of the unit as the ow of air may be restricted and
smaller items may fall inside and damage it.
• Do not introduce any foreign object into the vents.
• Do not handle the cord with wet hands.
• Do not let children operate or play with the unit; improper use may cause electric shock.
• Do not remove the cartridge when the unit is operating.
• For household use only, do not use outdoors.
Getting Started
Remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing materials.
Make sure that the Filter Cartridge is already inserted in the unit and it is free of any
packing material before operating (see “How to remove the Cartridge” section p 8-9).
Place the unit on a at, dry surface where air can circulate freely around and into the
side vents and out the top vents. For peak cirulation, the unit should be at least 30 cm
(12”) away from the wall or any other obstruction.
Avoid placing anything on top of the unit, because the air ow can be restricted and
small items can fall inside of the unit and damage it. Do not use an extension cord and
keep the unit in a dry area.
