The air around you is filled with thousands of particles of air pollution. Some of the pollutants - dust, pollen and lint are visible to the naked eye, but most of the pollutants - smoke and bacteria, to name a few, are microscopic in size. Polluted air enters the unit through the front of the air cleaner. The fan pulls in dirty air and the pre-filter traps large particles (hair, lint, etc.). The smaller particles (dust, smoke, pollen) in the dirty air receive a positive electrical charge as they pass through the ionizing section. The positive charged particles then enter the collecting section which uses a series of alternately charged aluminum plates to attract and retain the particles. It works like a powerful magnet and the particles remain there through natural adhesion until removed by the washing process. The air then passes through the post filter that helps control microorganisms and remove household odors. Next, the negative ion generator freshens stale air. Finally, clean air passes back into the room through the top grille. 3
