Make sure that the filter is properly installed before use. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, never plug in the Allergen Reducer while your hands are wet. Always unplug the Allergen Reducer before moving or servicing the unit. About Your Allergen Reducer How the Allergen Reducer filters air: 1. A fan draws air through the intake grille on the front of the Allergen Reducer. Then it passes through the filter which traps large allergen particulates. 2. The filtered air is then released through the outlet grille on the top of the unit. NOTE: The filter is designed to filter allergens. Selecting the Proper Location To prevent the risk of personal injury or damage to the Allergen Reducer and provide the best possible performance of your Allergen Reducer, follow the placement guidelines below: DO: • Place the Allergen Reducer on a flat, stable surface. DO NOT: • Do not stand, sit, or place any objects on the Allergen Reducer. It is not designed to support additional weight. • Place Allergen Reducer near an electrical outlet where it is out of the way. Make sure that the Allergen Reducer and the cord do not present tripping hazards. • Select a central location with adequate air circulation. • Turn off and unplug the Allergen Reducer before moving or servicing it, or if it will not be used for several days. • Route the electrical cord clear of furniture to prevent damage from pinching the cord. 4 • Do not block the air intake and outlet grilles with drapes, curtains, or blinds. This may cause reduced performance. • Do not use in cooking areas, garage, or areas with grease, oil or chemicals such as solvents or insecticides. • Do not place on or near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters. • To reduce electrical noise and interference, do not place on or near, or plug into the same outlet as TVs, baby monitors, or cordless phones. • Do not place in direct sunlight as the plastic may discolor after prolonged exposure.
