READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

DANGER -­ TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

  • Always unplug the air purifier from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning or replacing filters.
  • Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
  • Always place the air purifier on a firm, level surface.
  • Always place the air purifier at least 6 inches away from walls and 3 feet from heat sources, such as stoves, radiators, or heaters.
  • DO NOT reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately. ·
  • DO NOT place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
  • DO NOT place in or drop into water or other liquid.
  • Keep dry — DO NOT operate in wet or moist conditions.
  • Check your air purifier cord and plug connections. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat. Be sure the plug fits tightly in the outlet.

This product complies with the maximum allowable concentration of ozone of 0.050 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in a 24-hour period. The Health Canada Guideline 2010 recommends that the maximum exposure limit, based on an averaging time of 8 hours, is 0.020 ppmv or less when tested in a sealed, controlled room approximately 30 m3.

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.

WARNING ­- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS:

  • Always unplug the air purifier when not in use.

  • To disconnect the air purifier, first turn controls to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
  • DO NOT tilt or move the air purifier while it is in operation. Shut off and remove plug from outlet before moving.
  • DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the air purifier.

HOW TO USE

BEFORE TURNING THE UNIT ON

  • Take the air purifier out of the box and remove the clear protective plastic bag.
  • Place the air purifier on a firm, level surface.
  • Plug the power cord into a household electrical outlet.

POWER BUTTON AND FAN SPEED SETTINGS

  • To turn the air purifier on, press the power button.
  • This air purifier has 2 fan speed settings: low (1) and high (2). The higher the fan speed setting, the faster the air will be purified. To select or change fan speed, press the fan speed button until the desired setting is reached.

IONIZER SETTING WITH ON/OFF

Ion particles have a negative charge that attaches to airborne particles, making them easier to be captured by the filtration system. Press the ionizer button to turn the ionizer on. The blue light will glow to indicate the ionizer is in use. Press the ionizer button again to turn the ionizer off.

NOTE: Dust particles may accumulate on surfaces around the air purifier when the ionizer is in use. These dust particles can be vacuumed or wiped away with a soft, damp cloth.

NOTE: You may hear occasional popping sounds when the ionizer is used. This is normal.

NOTE: The ionizer produces less ozone than the UL-established limits of 0.05 ppm. Ozone may be harmful around birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, use the ionizer feature in a well-ventilated area.

NIGHT-LIGHTThe nightlight has 3 options. Press the night-light button once to turn the blue night-light on. Press again to turn the blue night-light and display lights off. Press a third time to turn the display lights on.

OIL TRAYUse essential oil (not included) to deliver scent into the air.

NOTE: For use with the included HoMedics essential oil pads only. Do not add essential oils anywhere else in the unit as it may cause damage.

NOTE: Do not leave a filled essential oil pad in the oil tray if it will be out of use for a long period of time.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?We should always exercise caution when using essential oils around our pets. Keep all essential oil and aromatherapy products (like diffusers) out of reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid internal consumption. We do not recommend the topical use of essential oils on pets, as they have a strong sense of smell and cannot get rid of the oil if they don’t like it or it is disturbing them. When diffusing essential oils around pets, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them to remove themselves from the space, such as leaving a door open. Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds when introducing an essential oil for the first time. If irritation occurs, discontinue the use of the essential oil. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential oil occurs.
