User manual BIONAIRE BAP1242

[. . . ] Use appliance only for the intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by The Holmes Group may cause hazards. Never block the air openings, or place on soft surface, such as bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to tip over thus blocking the air intake opening. [. . . ] When high levels of air pollution are present, select the HIGH setting to quickly circulate and filter the room air. Your Air Cleaner has an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally around us, in the air, water and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless and completely harmless. Negative ions help the air purification process by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the room. These particles take on a negative charge and may join with positively charged particles such as dust, pollen, smoke and pet dander to form larger particles that are then more readily captured by the filter system, or they may be attracted to positively charged surfaces like walls or floors. You may also note after extended use, that dust may have collected around the grills or front panel. This is from the onization affect caused by the negative ions exiting from the air outlet. This is additional evidence of the air cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush. nOTE: It is important to replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air cleaner and being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove. Cleaning Instructions Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning. The outside of the air cleaner can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. The top air outlet grill can be cleaned of dust with a small soft brush. WARNING: Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the main housing of the air cleaner. Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or filtered air outlet. A good location in a room is approximately 1 foot away from the wall, in a central location of your home. Pull air inlet grill towards you by grasping the finger tabs on both sides.
