Bionaire BAP1400 Prospecto

1. Carefully unpack your air cleaner. Select a firm level place

where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or filtered
air outlet. A good location in a room is approximately 1
foot away from the wall, in a central location of your
home.

2. Pull rear air inlet grill towards you by grasping the finger

tabs and pulling forward.

3. Remove PERMAtech™ filter by gripping on both sides

and pulling forward.

4. Remove protective plastic bag from the filter cartridge

(if packed in a bag).

5. This model utilizes a hang tab and filter clip. The clip

can only be attached to the tabs on the filter one way
only. The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter hang
tab with only a small amount of pressure. DO NOT use
force while attaching the clip to the filter (See Fig.3).
Align the clip on the top of the PERMAtech™ filter with
the rails on the inside of the air cleaner unit. Gently slide
the filter onto the rail (See Fig.4).

NOTE: The side with the soft gasket should face
inward.

6. Replace air inlet grill back onto unit securely.

1. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

2. Select the desired operating speed; HI (     ), MEDIUM (    ),

LOW (    ), by turning the knob to the appropriate
setting.

3. To release negative ions into the filtered air, turn the ion-

izer knob to ON (     ) and the Ionizer light will illuminate. 

4. The ionizer will not work unless the unit is running.

5. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to operate

the air purifier continuously. Its rugged motor has been
designed to give many years of use.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

•  Read all instructions before using the appliance.

•  To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly

into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

•  If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove

plastic bag before use.

•  Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire

hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat
registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.

•  To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse

in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.

•  Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is

used by or near children, or disabled persons.

•  Always unplug the air cleaner before moving it, opening

the grill, changing the filters, cleaning, or whenever the
air cleaner is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and
not the cord.

•  NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.

•  DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord

or plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance
malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination,
electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

•  Use appliance only for intended household use as

described in this manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons. The use of attachments not recommended
or sold by JCS/THG, LLC may cause hazards.

•  DO NOT use outdoors.

•  NEVER block the air openings, grills/outlets or place on

a soft surface such as a bed or sofa, as this could cause
the unit to tip over, blocking the air intake opening/grill.

•  Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.

•  DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or

mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void
your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by
qualified personnel only.

•  WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,

DO NOT use this air cleaner with any solid-state speed
control device.

•  DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED
WITH A POLARIZED AC
(Alternating Current) PLUG (a plug
having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If the

plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the
proper outlet.

The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the air cleaner. 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.

Thank you for choosing a Bionaire

air cleaner. To ensure

the best performance from your air cleaner, please read
and save the following instructions.

Your air cleaner has an independently controlled ionizer,
which, when turned on, releases negative ions into 
outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a
positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally
around us, in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and
negative ions are colorless, odorless, and completely
harmless. Negative ions help the air purification process by
attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the
room. 

These particles take on a negative charge and may join
with positively charged particles such as dust, pollen,
smoke, and pet dander to form larger particles that are
then more readily captured by the filter system, or may be
attracted to positively charged surfaces throughout the
home, like walls or floors.  This may occur more frequently
when the filter is nearing the end of its functional life
expectancy and is able to capture less of the charged particles.

You may also note after extended use, that dust has 
collected around the grills or front panel. This is from the
ionization affect caused by the negative ions exiting from
the air outlet. This is additional evidence of the air cleaning
effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily
removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.

Finally, using your ionizer may result in an occasional
popping or cracking sound.  This is a normal sound, 
generally caused by a small build-up of ions that, when
discharged, cause the popping or cracking sound.

NOTE: It is important to clean the PERMAtech™ filter at
the recommended intervals.

Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result
in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted
to walls, carpets, furniture, or other household objects.
These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove.
Homes with excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or
smoke may decrease the life expectancy of the
PERMAtech™ filtration system and may interfere with the
ionization process.  You may want to run the Ionizer less
often or and check the condition of the PERMAtech™
filter(s) more frequently in order to reduce particles from
being attracted to surfaces throughout your home as
mentioned above.

1. Turn the air cleaner off and unplug it before cleaning.

2. The outside of the air cleaner can be cleaned with a

soft, clean dampened cloth.

3. The rear air inlet grill can be removed and washed in

warm soapy water (not dishwasher safe). Dry before
replacing in the unit.

4. The filtered air outlet can be cleaned of dust with a

small, soft brush.

5. If you wish to clean the inside of the air cleaner, please

only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.

6. Filter Indicator - a filter reminder dial is manually set to

remind the user when it is time to replace the filter.

7. Every few weeks check the condition of the pre-filter.

8. Remove the inlet grill. If the foam pre-filter has collected a

noticeable amount of dust, remove it from the inlet of the grill
and wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry the pre-fil-
ter thoroughly before replacing it in the inlet of the grill.

9. With the inlet grill removed, check the condition of your

PERMAtech™ filter. If the filter is dirty, remove them by
gripping on both sides and pulling forward. 

10.To clean the PERMAtech™ filter use a brush attachment

with your vacuum cleaner. Run the attachment along
the inlet and outlet side of the filter trying to clean
between the pleated filter layers (See Fig.2).

11.This model utilizes a hang tab and filter clips to insure

that the filter is properly in place. Before replacing the
PERMAtech™ filter make sure that the hang tab is
securely in place.

12.Align the clips on the side of your PERMAtech™ filter

with the rails on the inside of the unit. Gently slide the
filter onto the rails.

13.The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter hang

tabs. Do not use force while attaching the filter clip to
the filter. Align the clip on the side of your
PERMAtech™ filter with the rails on the inside of the
unit. (See Fig.3 and 4)
