HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
Dirty, dust laden air is drawn through the front of
the air purifier and through the multi-stage filtration
system.
1. The carbon filter will help clear odours making
the air cleaner and fresher.
2. The HEPA filter entraps 99% of all smaller
visible and non-visible particles down to 0.3
microns in size.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Quiet operation -
Your air purifier has been designed to be
unobtrusive around the home and to be very
quiet. The motor provides quiet performance and
durability necessary for continuous use.
Dual position -
The unit can be placed either upright or on its side,
flush against the wall. When positioning the unit
be sure that the air inlet grill, filters and air outlet
grill are not blocked, to ensure maximum air flow.
Ioniser -
Your Bionaire ® Air Purifier has an independently
controlled ioniser, which when turned on, releases
negative ions into the outgoing filtered air. Ions are
tiny particles that carry either a positive or
negative charge. These ions exist naturally all
around us in the air, water and ground. Both
positive and negative ions are colourless,
odourless 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 ionisation effect caused by the
negative ions exiting from the air outlet. This dust
does not come from the air output, but is drawn
out of the uncleaned air going past the air outlet.
This is additional evidence of the air cleaning
effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be
2
easily removed with a clean, dampened cloth or
soft brush.
Please note: it is important to change the HEPA
filter at recommended intervals. Using the ioniser
in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty
particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted
to walls, carpets, furniture and other household
objects, These dirty particles may prove very
difficult to remove.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. After removing the unit from the box, remove
the plastic covering from the unit.
2. Select a firm level place where there are no
obstructions to the air inlet(front grill) or filtered
air outlet(top of the unit)
3. Remove the front grill by pulling the grill
towards you (see fig 2)
4. Remove the HEPA filter by gripping on both
sides and pulling forward.
5. Remove protective plastic bag from the filter
cartridge. The filter clip can only be attached to
the hang tabs on the filter one way (see fig 3).
The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter
hang tabs. Do not use force whilst attaching
the filter clip to the filter. Align the clip on the
top of your HEPA filter with the rails on the
inside of the unit.
Note: The pleated material and rubber gasket
should be facing towards the unit when applied.
6. Replace the front grill by sliding back on to the
unit. Make sure that it snaps securely into
position (the grill only goes on one way) NOTE:
Do not point outlet towards wall.

OPERATING

outlet.
2. Select the required operating speed:
Hi (III), Medium (II), Low (I) by sliding the
switch to the appropriate setting
3. To release negative ions into the filtered air
slide the ioniser button to ON. The amber light
will illuminate.
4. The ioniser will not work unless the
unit is running.
5. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to
operate the air purifier continuously. Its rugged
motor is designed to give many years of
service.
6. For continuous use it is recommended to
operate the air purifier at the medium (II)
setting. For quieter operation or use in a
bedroom, select the Low (I) setting. When high
levels of air polution are present, select the HI
(III)setting to quickly circulate clean filtered air.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before
cleaning.
2. The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned
with a soft, clean dampened cloth.
3. The filtered air outlet on the top of the unit can
be cleaned of dust with a small, soft brush.
4. If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier,
please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.

EFFICIENCY OF YOUR AIR PURIFIER, THE
HEPA FILTER NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY
6 MONTHS.
1. Every few weeks check the condition of the pre-
filter.
2. Remove the front grill. If the foam pre-filter has
collected a noticeable amount of dust, remove it
from the inlet of the grill and wash it in warm
soapy water. Rinse and dry the pre-filter
thoroughly before replacing it in the inlet of the
grill.
3. With the front grill removed, remove the HEPA
cartridge and dispose in the dustbin. DO NOT try
to wash and re-use the HEPA filter Replace with
a new HEPA filter - HAPF30 removing the
protective plastic bag before inserting into the air
purifier.
4. Align the clips on the top of your HEPA filter with
the rails on the inside of the unit. Gently slide the
filter onto the rails.
5. The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter
hang tabs. Do not use force while attaching the
filter clip to the filter.
Align the clip on the top of your HEPA filter with
the rails on the inside of the unit.
