Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the HEPAtech™ Air Purification System from Hunter Fan Company. You have purchased our latest development in portable Air Purification Systems. This system has been developed to improve the quality of the air you breathe.
Our HEPAtech™ Air Purification System out performs other air purification systems by quickly and effectively removing dust, smoke, and pollen particles as small as .3 microns in size. Room air is pulled in through the front grill where larger particles and odors are caught on the pre-filter. Smaller particles passing through the pre-filter are caught on the main filter. The ionizer helps remove the remaining particles before being pushed back into the room through the top vent.
Using Your Air Purifier
- Take the air purifier out of the box and remove the clear plastic protective bag. Place the unit on a firm level surface.
- Before turning the Air Purifier “on”, You need to open the front cover and remove the protective plastic that is surrounding the HEPAtech™ system filter. Press the buttons that are on each side of the front grill. When they are pressed inward, you will be able to pull the front grill forward, opening the unit.
- The filter comes to you installed in the correct position. Grasp the filter, and pull it forward, up, and out of the unit. Remove the plastic wrapping and replace the filter in the unit. The white HEPAtech™ filter material should be facing outward (towards you).
- Before closing the front cover, check the placement of the pre-filter. It is installed under clips in the front cover. The pre-filter should be replaced every three months.
- Close the front cover by once again pressing the buttons and allowing the front cover to slip into place over the buttons. The unit is now ready for normal operation.
- Plug the unit into a 120V electrical outlet.
Operating Your Air Purifier
- Select a speed by sliding the speed selector to the appropriate location. The red power light will be illuminated when you have selected a speed.
- Turn the ionizer 'on', by sliding the ionizer switch to the 'on' position. The green light will be illuminated when the ionizer is 'on'.
NOTE: The ionizer can release negative ions when the fan is not blowing. If it is used consistently without the fan, the dust particles that are attracted to the negative ions may deposit on your walls and floors. To minimize these deposits, we recommend that you use the ionizer only when the fan is blowing (when the unit is on LO, MED, or HI speed).
Figure 1: Controls and System Operation
A front-side view of the Hunter HEPAtech Air Purifier System, a white, rectangular appliance with a prominent front grill. The model appears compact and designed for home use.
Figure 1 illustrates the air purifier's controls and operational flow. It shows the front grill, a washable pre-filter, release buttons on each side, the power control (with options for OFF, LO, MED, HI speeds, indicated by a red light when ON), and the ionizer switch (indicated by a green light when ON). A conceptual diagram details the HEPAtech system's filtration process: air is drawn in, passing through a carbon pre-filter to catch odors and larger particles, then through a HEPAtech filter that captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns (including dust, pollen, bacteria, and pet hair/dander), and finally, an ionizer releases negative ions to help remove remaining particles before clean air is expelled through the top grill.
Cleaning and Filter Replacement
- Clean the outside of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.
- At least every 90 days, open the front grill, remove the carbon pre-filter, and replace it. This is necessary to maintain proper odor-removing and overall filtration performance. If necessary, it can be changed more often. Mark the new filter installation sticker included with the new carbon pre-filter and set the filter calendar dial. Be sure to remove any plastic wrapping that may be on the new filter before you place it into the Air Purifier.
- Every 6 months you should remove the front grill and check the HEPAtech filter to see if it needs to be replaced. Compare the color of the filter to the filter change chart located above the filter in the air purifier.
