Bionaire BAP9700 Prospecto

CAUTION: The ionizer in this appliance produces less 

ozone than the UL* established limits of 50ppb. However, 

in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and 

small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using 

the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.
IMPORTANT: Always clean the PERMAtech

®

 filter at the 

recommended intervals (See CLEANING THE PERMAtech

®

 

FILTER). Using the ionizer with dirty filters may result in 

dirty particles exiting the air purifier and attracting to 

walls, carpets, furniture, or other household objects. 

These dirty particles may prove difficult to remove. 

The PERMAtech

®

 filter allows easy maintenance and 

eliminates the hassle of filter replacement. HEPA-Type 

(High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to 

remove up to 99% of airborne pollutants, at 2 microns or 

larger, from the air that passes through them. These 

include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet dander and 

pollen. 

The Filter Service Indicator (

) eliminates guesswork 

by letting you know when it is time to clean the filters.

The convenient remote control lets you select the filtering 

speed from anywhere in the room.

For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire

®

 air 

cleaner continuously on the highest (4) setting. Its rugged 

motor has been designed to give many years of use. For 

quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select the 

lowest (1) setting. 

The timer allows you to run the air cleaner at your 

convenience, for up to 9 hours, and automatically turns the 

power off when time is up, to help reduce energy costs.

1.  Carefully unpack your air cleaner. 

2.  Select a firm, level surface with no obstructions to the 

air inlets or outlets.

3.  If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, 

remove plastic bag before use and place filters into 

unit. (Reference Reinstalling The PERMAtech

Filter After Cleaning). 

Unpack the remote control from box. It includes one 

lithium battery, CR2025/3V. Please note this remote 

control will not work through walls. 
NOTE: REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVER FROM THE 

BATTERY PRIOR TO BEGINNING OPERATION. 
The lithium coin battery used in this product contains 

perchlorate material. Special handling may apply in 

California. For more information, go to: www.dtsc.ca.gov/

hazardouswaste/perchlorate. 

1.  Locate the battery cover on the back of the remote 

control handset. 

2.  Using a coin, rotate the battery cover 

counterclockwise and insert the battery.

•  The length of cord used on this appliance was 

selected to reduce tangling and tripping hazards.

•  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 (see rating label marked on 

product).

•  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.

Your Bionaire

®

 air cleaner features a Permanent HEPA-

Type filter that removes up to 99% of airborne dust and 

pollen as small as 2 microns and helps reduce dust, mold 

spores and pet dander from the air passing through the 

filter. 
•  Permanent filters can be vacuumed every few 

months for easy cleaning. 

•  Washable pre-filter captures larger particles and 

extends the permanent filter’s cleaning cycle.

•  Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and 

helps freshen the air.

•  Slim tower design allows placement in almost any 

area of the room.

•  Remote control allows convenient operation from 

anywhere in the room.

This appliance has an optional ionizer feature which, 

when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing 

filtered air to help the air purification process.
What Are Ions? 
Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative 

charge. They exist naturally around us: in the air, water, 

and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, 

odorless, and completely harmless. 
How Does The Ionizer Work? 
Negative ions help air purification 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. These 

larger particles are then more easily captured by the 

filter system. 
Important Notes:
Your ionizer may produce an occasional popping or 

cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a small 

buildup of ions is discharged.
After extended use, you may notice dust around the grills 

or front panel. This is caused by negative ions exiting the 

air outlet, evidence of the ionizer’s air cleaning 

effectiveness. You can remove the dust with a soft brush 

or clean, damp cloth.
Larger particles 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 useful product life and unable 

to capture as many charged particles.

•  Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may 

decrease the life expectancy of the filter(s) and 

interfere with the ionization process. 

To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces 

throughout your home:
•  You may want to run the ionizer less often.

•  Check the condition of filters more frequently.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions 

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric 

shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include:
•  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 or 

cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filters 

and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the 

unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord.

•  NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of 

the unit.

•  Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or 

plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit has 

been dropped or damaged in any manner, return 

appliance to manufacturer for examination and/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 the 

manufacturer may cause hazards.

•  DO NOT use outdoors.

•  NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa 

as this could cause the unit to tip over and block the 

air inlet or outlet grills.

•  Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.

•  DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

•  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 Jarden Consumer Solutions or an authorized 

Jarden Consumer Solutions Service Center.

•  WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric 

shock, DO NOT use this air cleaner with any solid-

state speed control device.

•  Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.

•  NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, 

furniture polish, paint thinner or other household 

solvents to clean any part of the air cleaner.

•  The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than 

the UL established limits of 50ppb (parts per billion). 

However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful 

to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we 

suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with 

the fan on.

•  This appliance should only be used in a room with 

temperatures between 40° F and 110° F. 

3. Replace the battery cover. 

4.  For your convenience, a remote control holder is 

located on the back of the air purifier.

•  Remove the battery from the equipment when it is 

not being used for an extended period of time.

•  Remove the used battery promptly.

•  Remove battery before discarding the remote.

•  Do not discard used batteries into household trash 

containers. Contact your local government for 

disposal or recycling practices in your area.
