The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the allergen reducer. 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. Route the electrical or extension cord clear of furniture to prevent damage from pinching. HOW THE ALLERGEN REDUCER WORKS The allergen reducer functions as an air cleaner by helping to remove particulates (such as pet dander, dust, pollen, mold and mildew spores, and smoke) from the air. The air is cleaned in three stages: 1. A fan draws air through the sides of the front panel. 2. The permanent filter then removes particles as small as 3 microns from the air at 99% effectiveness. 3. The ionizer (on select models) then releases negative ions into the air which attract positively charged particles. 4. The purified air is then released through the back of the unit. 3
