as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should  
not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is  
available.  
automatically adjusts the fan speed to cycle between  
low, medium and high speed to provide optimum  
filtration based on air particulate concentration. It also  
helps conserve energy by only operating the fan at higher  
speeds when needed.  
This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.  
If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact qualified  
electrician to install the proper outlet.  
IONIZER  
This appliance has an optional ionizer feature which,  
when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing  
filtered air to help the air purification process.  
This product is for use on 120 volts. DO NOT ALTER  
THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.  
What Are Ions?  
CORD SAFETY  
Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative  
charge. They exist naturally around us: in the air, water,  
and ground. Both positive and negative ions are  
colorless, odorless, and completely harmless.  
• The length of cord used on this appliance was  
selected to reduce tangling or tripping hazards.  
• If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension  
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the  
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the  
electrical rating of the air cleaner (see rating label  
marked on product).  
How Does The Ionizer Work?  
Negative ions help air purification 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. The larger  
particles are then more easily captured by the filter system.  
• Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so  
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop  
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally  
tripped over.  
Important Notes:  
FEATURES  
Your ionizer may produce an occasional popping or  
cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a small  
buildup of ions is discharged.  
GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR CLEANER  
®
Your Bionarie air cleaner features a Permanent  
After extended use, you may notice dust around the grills  
or front panel.  
HEPA-Type filter that removes up to 99% of airborne  
dust and pollen as small as 2 microns and helps reduce  
smoke, mold spores and pet dander from the air passing  
through the filter.  
• This is caused by negative ions exiting the air outlet,  
evidence of the ionizers air cleaning effectiveness.  
• Permanent filters can be vacuumed every few months  
for easy cleaning.  
You can remove the dust with a soft brush or clean,  
damp cloth.  
• Washable pre-filter captures larger particles and  
extends the permanent filters cleaning cycle.  
Larger particles may be attracted to positively charged  
surfaces throughout the home, like walls or floors.  
• Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and  
helps freshen the air.  
• This may occur more frequently when the filter is  
nearing the end of its useful product life and unable to  
capture as many charged particles.  
• Slim tower design allows placement in almost any  
area of the room.  
• Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke  
may decrease the life expectancy of the filter(s) and  
interfere with the ionization process.

To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces  
throughout your home:  
BEFORE USE  
1. Carefully unpack your air cleaner.  
You may want to run the ionizer less often.  
2. Select a firm, level surface with no obstructions to the  
air inlets or outlets.  
• Check the condition of the filter(s) more frequently.  
CAUTION: The ionizer in this appliance produces less  
ozone than the UL* established limits of 50ppb. However,  
in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds  
and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest  
using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.  
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove  
plastic bag before use and place filters into unit (See  
INSTALLING THE FILTERS).  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT:

IMPORTANT: Always clean the PERMAtech filter at the  
recommended intervals (See CLEANING THE

may result in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and  
attracting to walls, carpets, furniture, or other household  
objects. These dirty particles may prove difficult to  
remove.  
• DO NOT POINT FILTERED AIR OUTLET TOWARDS

eliminates the hassle of filter replacement. HEPA-type  
(High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to  
remove up to 99% of airborne pollutants, at 2 microns or  
larger, from the air that passes through them. These include  
tobacco smoke, household dust, pet dander and pollen.  
The air cleaner will also turn off when you press  
the POWER button for 3 seconds at any speed.  
3. Press IONIZER button to turn ionizer ON or OFF.  
FILTER INDICATOR  
IONIZER button works in any mode except when  
air cleaner is turned off.  
The filter indicator light eliminates guesswork by letting  
you know when it is time to clean the filters.

TIMER  
The AUTO feature uses the particle sensor to cycle  
between low, medium and high speeds, based on  
surrounding indoor air quality. To use this feature:  
The timer allows you to run the air cleaner at your  
convenience, for up to 8 hours, and automatically turns  
the power off when time is up, to help reduce energy  
costs.  
1. When air cleaner is off, press the AUTO button.  
The button will illuminate and the air cleaner will  
turn on to auto mode.

Clean Indicator will alert you to clean the filter before  
further use.  
To clean the filter:  
1. Turn off and unplug the air cleaner.  
2. Remove the air inlet grill by pulling on the tab.  
3. Remove and examine the foam pre-filter.  
If it has collected dust or lint, remove and wash it  
in warm soapy water. Rinse and drip dry  
thoroughly before placing it back into the grill inlet.
