than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the
proper outlet.
Do not alter the plug in any way.
• If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent

Attention: Before deciding on a location for your AM-45 Air Purifier, carefully
read all the operating instructions as well as all the following information.
1. Do not place this unit in close proximity to electronic devices that are sensitive to electrical fields.
2. Do not place this unit on metal shelving or on any electrical device. The AM-45 Air Purifier may be
placed on the floor, nightstand, table or desk with its air outlet facing the user in order to allow proper
air flow.
3. In order to prevent dirt build-up it is recommended to keep the unit at least 1.5 ft.
(45cm) from any non-washable surface.
The principle upon which the ionizer works is Ionization.The process of ionizing accelerates the
fallout of pollutants from the air.These pollutants may adhere to surrounding surfaces, causing a
dark smudge.Therefore placement of the unit away from all non-washable surfaces is a must!

Always disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning or
servicing the unit!
Note that the servicing intervals mentioned in this section are based on air purifier use of 12 hours
per day in a normal household environment. If your use of the air purifier differs from that described
above, then you can adjust the servicing intervals accordingly.
1. Clean the outside of the AM-45 and the area around the air purifier with a soft damp cloth
once every 2 weeks. If you are not using the Ionizer, then this interval can be increased to
once a month.

Make sure that the Pre-Filter is completely dry before reinstalling it.
4. Inside the rear cover facing the front of the unit are 6 ionizing needles that work together with
the Aluminum Mesh Filter to make the Electrostatic Filter. The needles are inside protective
cylinders and the needles should be cleaned with a brush once a month.

Aluminum Mesh Filter frame holds both the Aluminum Mesh Filter and the Granulated Active
Carbon Filter. Remove the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame by lifting the tab above the filter and
then by pulling backwards towards the user on the upper part of the filter. The Granulated
Active Carbon Filter is removed from the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame, by sliding it out the
upper edge of the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame. Note that this needs to be done before
washing the Aluminum Mesh Filter.The Granulated Active Carbon Filter is reinstalled by
sliding it back in the slot from where it was removed. The Aluminum Mesh Filter frame is
reinstalled by fitting the bottom of the filter frame into its place at the back of the main unit
and then closing the top of the filter frame until it snaps into place.
a. The Aluminum Mesh Filter should be washed in warm soapy water once a month.
Make sure that the Aluminum Mesh Filter is completely dry before sliding the
Granulated Active Carbon Filter into its place in the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame
and reinstalling the filter pair into its place at the back of the main unit.
b. The Granulated Active Carbon Filter should be replaced once a year.

of the main unit and then closing the top of the filter until it snaps into place.
The PCO filter should be washed in warm soapy water when replacing the UV lamp.
Make sure that the PCO filter is completely dry before reinstalling it.
