When using electrical appliances, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance
directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped:
Remove plastic bag over filter before use.
4. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid
fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near
heat registers, radiator, stoves, or heaters.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children or by disabled people.
6. NEVER place air purifier in an area where it is
accessible to children.
7. WARNING: always unplug the air purifier before
moving it, opening the grill, changing filters,
cleaning or whenever the air purifier is not in use.
Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
8. 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.
9. Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
10. To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT
immerse in water or other liquids. Do not use
near water.
11. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or
if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to manufacturer for examina-
tion, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
12. Use appliance only for intended household use as
described in this manual. Any other use not rec-
ommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of
attachments not recommended may cause hazards.
13. DO NOT use outdoors.
14. DO NOT puncture filters
15. Air purifier should be unplugged when not in use.
16. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, fur-
niture polish, paint thinner, or other household
solvents to clean any part of the air cleaner.
17. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust an electrical
or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so
will void your warranty. The inside of the unit con-
tains no user serviceable parts. All servicing
should be performed by qualified personnel only.
18. DO NOT plug the cord in with wet hands: electric
shock could result.

Consumer Safety Information
Note: This is an electrical appliance and requires
attention when in use.
Note: DO NOT block air intake grill or filtered air
outlet.
Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions
The length of cord used on this appliance was
selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tan-
gled 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 purifier (5 Amps or 600 Watts). 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 acciden-
tally tripped over.
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, con-
tact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.

PRE-FILTER
CLEANING/REPLACEMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Every 2-3 weeks, check the condition of the foam pre-
filter.
2. Open the front door and remove the Pre-filter frame to
examine the pre-filter (fig. 3).
3. If the Pre-filter has a noticeable amount of dust, lint, or
particulate accumulation, wash it by hand in warm
soapy water. The pre-filter must be washed at least
every 30 days or more often as necessary. If the pre-fil-
ter is worn or damaged, replace it (go to step 5.). DO
NOT wash in an automatic washer, gently hand wash
only.
4. After washing, rinse and dry the pre-filter thoroughly
before replacing it into the air purifier door. DO NOT
dry the pre-filter in an automatic dryer, hand dry only
by dabbing gently with a dry cloth towel.
5. Replace pre-filter in door and latch pre-filter frame
(fig.3).
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE AIR PURIFIER WITH-
OUT A PRE-FILTER IN PLACE. DIRT AND LINT
WILL CLOG IT AND REDUCE PERFORMANCE.
How the HEPA Air Cleaner Works
Your GE Brand HEPA Air Purifier draws dirty air
through the front air intake grill area. This air is then
passed though a foam pre-filter, a carbon filter and
HEPA filter, which helps retain the particles in the air
such as dust, smoke, pollen, mold spores and pet dan-
der. The resulting filtered air is directed back into the
room from the top outlet grill.
NOTE: This air purifier filter removes 99.97% of air-
borne particles as small as 0.3 microns from air passing
through it.
Dual Position
The air purifier can stand upright or lie on its side. It
is designed to fit with its back flush against a wall.
When positioning the unit, please be sure the air inlet
grill, filters and air outlet are not blocked to ensure
maximum airflow.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. After removing the unit from the box, take the plastic
covering off the unit and discard it.
2. Place unit with air intake grill pointing up.
3. Open the door of the air purifier.
4. The Carbon filters are packed in a plastic bag loose
inside the box. Please remove the plastic and discard.
5. The Carbon filters should be put on each of the HEPA
filters. The plastic tabs on the HEPA filter will hold the
carbon in place. (fig. 1.)
6. Close the air purifier door by pushing firmly against
the right hand side of the door.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select a location where the air intake grill and filtered
air outlet are not obstructed.
2. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. The air purifier is now ready for your use. Please set
the unit to the desired speed setting; High ,
Medium , Low or Sleep .
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
If your air purifier will not be used for an extended
period of time, please follow the below instructions.
1. Turn unit off and unplug.
2. Clean Pre-filter and dry completely. See Pre-filter
cleaning instructions.
3. Remove Carbon and HEPA filters and discard.
4. Wipe air purifier clean as in cleaning instructions.
5. Replace Pre-filter.
6. Replace air purifier in original carton and store in a
dry cool place.
7. Order Replacement filters for next use.
FILTER LIFE MONITOR
The filter life monitor uses a series of lights to give you
an indication of the remaining filter life. With the new
filters the top light will be illuminated green. As the fil-
ter life progresses the filter life indicator will move to
yellow, and your HEPA filters should be checked for
particulate accumulation. When the filter life indicator
light is red, it is time to change the HEPA filters.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before cleaning.
2. The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a
soft, clean dampened cloth.
3. The filtered air outlet on the top of the unit can be
cleaned of dust with a small, soft brush.
4. If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier, please
only use a dry, soft cloth to wide it down.
REPLACING THE FILTERS
1. On average, HEPA filters need to be replaced every 12 -
18 months. Carbon filters need to be replaced every 3
- 6 months. Filter life will vary depending on air quality
and usage. Replace filters if punctured.
2. Turn off and unplug the air purifier before attempting
to replace the filters.
3. Remove each of the filters from the unit by pulling gen-
tly towards you.
4. To replace the carbon filter, simply remove the old car-
bon filter and insert a new carbon in its place, using
the plastic tabs as a guideline. (See Fig.1)
5. To replace the HEPA filter, discard the old HEPA fil-
ters. Put a new carbon filter on the HEPA filter. Insert
the new HEPA filter into the unit, by sliding it onto the
hang tabs. (See Fig. 2)
6. After replacing the HEPA filters, RESET the filter life
monitor by inserting a small object (such as a pin or
paper clip) into the hole marked RESET.
