PRODUCT FEATURES
Filter Life Indicator
Your air purifier has an indicator light that illuminates
when its time to change the filters.
Ioniser
Your Bionaire™ Air Purifier has an independently
controlled ioniser, which when turned on, releases
negative ions into the outgoing filtered air. Ions
are tiny particles that carry either a positive or
negative charge. These ions exist naturally all
around us in the air, water and ground. Both positive
and negative ions are colourless, odourless 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 they may be attracted to
positively charged surfaces like walls or floors.
You may also note, after extended use, that dust
may have collected around the grills or front panel.

You may also note, after extended use, that dust

This is from the ionisation effect caused by the
negative ions exiting from the air outlet.This dust
does not come from the air output, but is drawn
out of the uncleaned air going past the air outlet.
This is additional evidence of the air cleaning
effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be
easily removed with a clean, dampened cloth or
soft brush.
NOTE: it is important to change the HEPA filter
at recommended intervals. Using the ioniser in
conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty
negative ions exiting from the air outlet.This dust
