The washable mesh pre-filter came installed in your Air Purifier and removes larger airborne particles from the air that passes through the filter. You may use this washable mesh pre-filter, or you have the choice to use the Optional Odor & VOC Reducing K
Pre-Filter that is packed in a bag that came with the Air Purifier. In addition to capturing larger airborne particles, the K
Pre-Filter will also trap common household odors and gases. If you choose to use the K
Pre-Filter, you must remove the installed washable mesh pre-filter then insert the K
Pre-Filter. Note: the K
Pre-Filter cannot be washed and should be replaced every 3 months for optimum performance.
NOTE: Please only use one pre-filter in your Air Purifier at a time. You will need to choose whether you want to use the permanent washable pre-filter or the replaceable Odor & VOC Reducing K
Pre-Filter. Both are included with your Air Purifier at the time of purchase.
E FAAPEFEA ONA GALUEGA LOU EA FAAMAMĀ
This model Air Purifier incorporates a 3-stage cleaning system to clean the air that passes through the filters in the unit (Ata 1).
Stagi 1: Washable or odor-reducing Pre-Filter (your choice) attaches to the rear grille. Captures larger airborne particles and traps odors and VOCs (when used with Optional K
Mu'ai Filifiliga).
Stagi 2: Permanent Washable ifD®’ Filter. Captures the following microscopic airborne particles: dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mite debris, and smoke.
Stagi 3: Fa'aeletonika Ionizer fa'ateleina le mana fa'amama.
SETI
Select a firm, level and flat location. For best airflow, locate the unit 6 inches from any wall or furniture.
When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the Air Purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent the build-up of dust and other particles. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light-colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking or fireplaces.

LEVEL 4 – MAX
Best for power cleaning the air when unpleasant odors are noticeable, your room is particularly dusty, or you can sense that airborne particles are present. This setting provides the fastest air cleaning of all the settings and can circulate the air frequently in the room.
LEVEL 3 - POleni
This setting is best for fighting airborne pollen during high pollen season, particularly in the spring and fall to help reduce airborne pollen.
LEVEL 2 - LAUTELE
Best for General Cleaning. Use this setting to help reduce airborne dust and smoke particles, like those from cooking or tobacco smoke.
LEVEL 1- SLEEP
Best for ultra-quiet operation, perfect for nighttime use when sleeping.
Oscillate Button – To help circulate fresher, cleaner air through the room, this unit has an oscillation feature. To turn the Oscillation on, simply press the Oscillation button once. To turn the Oscillation off, press the button again.

light comes on, you will need to clean the primary ifD15 filter and clean or replace the pre-filter. (See Filter Cleaning
instructions on pages 6-7). It is recommended that you periodically check the filters. Depending on operating
conditions, the filters should be cleaned every 3 months. If you have chosen to use the Odor & VOC Reducing
K
Pre-Filter, it is LĒ washable and should be replaced after 3 months. After you have cleaned or replaced the filters, you will need to RESET the Electronic Filter Check.
