CONTROLS
AUTO-OFF TIMER BUTTON
Push this button if you would like your air cleaner to run
and then automatically shut-off after a certain amount of
time (choose from between 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours).
This is convenient if you would like your air cleaner to run
during the night but then shut-off automatically in the
morning (choose the 8 or 10 hour setting).
PURIFICATION LEVEL BUTTON
Your air cleaner will start off on the General Cleaning
setting each time you turn your air cleaner on.
Level 5 – Max
Best for power cleaning the air when unpleasant odours
are noticeable, your room is particularly dusty or you
can sense that airborne particles are present. This
setting cleans the air the fastest of all the settings and
circulates the air frequently in a room.
Level 4 – Allergen
This setting makes the air cleaner perform at the proper
level for reducing many types of airborne allergens.
It ensures the allergen capturing efficiency and rate
is best for the particle sizes being captured. Best for
fighting airborne allergens during high allergen season,
particularly in the spring and fall to help reduce airborne
pollen. Also great for year-round reduction of pet
dander allergens.
Level 3 – General
Best for General Cleaning. Use this setting to help
reduce airborne dust and smoke particles, like those
from cooking or tobacco smoke.
Level 2 – Germ
This setting slows down air movement so airborne
microscopic germs are most effectively captured in
the filter. Germs, like certain bacteria and viruses,
can be much smaller than other airborne particles or
organisms. Giving the germs more time to dwell in the
filter increases the filtration efficiency. This setting
can be used during cold and flu season to help reduce
certain germs from the air that passes through the
filter.
Level 1 – Sleep
Best for ultra quiet operation, perfect for nighttime use
when sleeping.
FILTER STATUS AND CHECK FILTERS BUTTON
Allows you to monitor how dirty your filter is getting.
When it is time to check and clean the filter, an indicator
will illuminate notifying you that it is time to check the
filters. When this light comes on, you will need to clean
your primary ifD® Filter and clean or replace your pre-filter.
(See Filter Cleaning instructions). After you have cleaned
or replaced the filters, press the Filter Reset Button until
the light goes off.
ACCENT LIGHT INDICATOR
Your air cleaner features a soft accent light at the bottom
of the unit that provides a nice glow around the base. You
can choose to operate your unit with or without this accent
light turned on. If you want to use the light feature, you
can choose from between a low or high light level.
OSCILLATE BUTTON
Press this button if you want your air cleaner to gently
rotate from side to side.
This will help increase circulation in the room. The
oscillation feature is actived by pressing the Oscillation
button .
Press the oscillation button or 'Tap' the oscillation symbol
once to turn the feature on, and then again to turn it off.
TIMER
The timer option on the left of the control panel allows
you to select how long the unit will run before it turns off
automatically.
• 'Tap' the Timer symbol to shift through the options.
When pressed the time will move to the next highest
setting until it is on '12' (which means it will stay on
for 12 hours and then shut-off). If you press the Timer
button while it is on '12' the timer option will turn off
and the unit will run continuously. If you 'tap' it again, it
will start back at '2'.
• Cycle through the hour options until the LED light
is illuminated behind the number of hours you want
the unit to operate for. If the Auto-off Timer is not
illuminated, the air purifier will run continuously.
ELECTRONIC FILTER CHANGE REMINDER
This model air cleaner has an electronic filter check to
remind you when to check the washable ifD® Filter based
on the air purifier's hours of use.
• When the ifD® Filter need to be cleaned, the LED light
'bar' will remain full and the light will be illuminated
until it is RESET. You may unplug the air cleaner
without interrupting the filter check.
• You should periodically check the filter. Depending on
operating conditions, the filters should be cleaned at
least once every three months.

enter the rear grille. This pre-filter can be periodically
removed and shaken to clean it. Alternatively, it can be
rinsed by hand under warm water. Let the pre-filter air dry
completely before inserting back into the grille.
OPTIONAL: Changing the Odour Reducing Pre-Filter

pre-filter, it will lose its effectiveness for odour
K
adsorption over time and will need to be replaced.
If using the odour reducing pre-filter, it is
K
recommended that you store the original washable pre-
filter in the event that you decide to use it in the future.
To insert it into the unit, simply place securely into the rear
grille in lieu of standard pre-filter.
