Make sure HEPA filter, and carbon pre-filter are properly installed before use. Selecting the Proper Location To prevent the risk of personal injury or damage to the air purifier and provide the best possible performance of your air purifier, follow the placement guidelines below: DO: • Place the air purifier on a flat, stable surface. • Place the air purifier near an electrical outlet where it is out of the way. Make sure that the air purifier and the cord do not present tripping hazards. • Select a central location with adequate air circulation. • Turn off and unplug the air purifier before moving or servicing it, or if it will not be used for several days. • Route the electrical cord clear of furniture to prevent damage from pinching. DO NOT: • Do not stand, sit, or place any objects on the air purifier. It is not designed to support additional weight. • Do not block the air intake and outlet grilles with drapes, curtains, or blinds. This may cause reduced performance. • Do not use in a kitchen, garage, or area with grease, oil or chemicals such as solvents or insecticides. • Do not place on or near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters, or in direct sunlight. • To reduce electrical noise and interference, do not place on or near, or plug into the same outlet as TVs, baby monitors, or cordless phones.

Pre-Filter Filter 04150 175 ft2 04922 04912 04152 300 ft2 04923 04913 * Each air purifier is designed to filter the room five times per hour at high speed. Factors such as room shape and ceiling height can affect this rate. It is normal that the air flow will be reduced as the filters become clogged. See “Checking the Filters” on page 9 for more information. To Order Replacement Parts Replacement parts may be available where the air purifier was purchased or can be obtained directly from Hamilton Beach. About Your Air Purifier The air purifier functions as an air cleaner by helping to remove particulates and airborne bacteria from the air. The air is cleaned in 2 stages: 1. A fan draws air through the intake grille on the front of the air purifier. Then it passes through the carbon pre-filter which traps large dust particles and reduces odors. 2. The white HEPA filter then removes particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air at 99.97% effectiveness. Before First Use Be sure to remove all packing materials. The pre-filter is packed in a plastic bag inside the air purifier for shipping. 840115800 ENv00.qxd 6/6/03 9:02 AM Page 4 7 2 Locate the black carbon pre-filter. It will be folded inside a plastic bag. Remove and discard the plastic bag. Unfold and flatten out the black carbon pre-filter. Attach the four corners of the carbon pre-filter to the four hook fasteners on the HEPA filter. Insert the two tabs on the bottom of the intake grille into the holes on the bottom ledge of the air purifier. Pivot the intake grille into place and lightly press on the upper corners of the grille to snap it into place. NOTE: The air purifier has a safety switch that prevents operation if the intake grille is not properly installed. DO NOT attempt to override or disable this safety switch. 3 4 NOTE: The carbon pre-filter should be replaced approximately every three months. Remove the intake grille by carefully pulling the upper two side tabs away from the body of the air purifier and lifting up.
