Congratulations!
You're moments away from fresher, cleaner indoor air. Your new
AllerAir unit will combat many of the chemicals, gases, odors and particles responsible for
poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Poor IAQ may cause or worsen allergies, asthma, multiple
chemical sensitivities (MCS) and sick building syndrome. We recommend proper maintenance
of your unit to keep it running efficiently for years to come.
Operation:
All units except D and DX models are shipped fully assembled and ready for use. (D and DX
model owners may refer to their additional instruction sheet for filter installation, or refer to
Page 6 of this booklet.)
NOTE: As original packaging is required for warranty returns, new AllerAir owners are
advised to keep boxes and shipping materials.

ACTIVATED CARBON
Your AllerAir air purifier contains activated carbon that permanently traps dangerous airborne chemicals,
gases and odors. This vital filter should be changed approximately every two to three years, depending on
the environment in which the unit is operating. You can also upgrade your Exec, Vocarb or D unit at any
time to accommodate a larger and deeper carbon filter suitable for removing heavier concentrations of
chemicals, gases and odors.
PRE-FILTER
The pre-filter included with your unit removes larger particles and helps prolong the life of your HEPA filter.
The pre-filer should be vacuumed or replaced every three months.
LASER TESTED, MEDICAL-GRADE HEPA*
HEPA or high-efficiency particulate air filters were originally developed by the military to remove radio-
active dust, and are now the primary particle filtration systems used in hospitals, laboratories, electronic
clean rooms and any application where clean air is critical. Today, HEPA filters are widely recommended by
allergists, doctors and indoor air quality experts for home and office. They trap an amazing 99.97% of
airborne particles at 0.3 microns, including dust, hair, pollen and even some bacteria and viruses.
Depending on the particle level in the environment in which the unit is used, your HEPA filter should be
replaced every three to five years.
* Note that chemical and odor models D and DX feature a micro-particle filter which is rated to trap at least
95% airborne particles.
THE ALLERAIR ADVANTAGE
· Our units offer complete air filtration removing airborne chemicals, gases, odors and particles.
· Our deep bed, activated carbon filters last longer than the average thin filter which is generally carbon
sprayed onto a synthetic material.
· Our units do not use dangerous ozone technology
· Our units are manufactured to clean your air and therefore are not made with a plastic housing, or other
materials which may off-gas chemicals.
· Our units are powered by American-made motors that are energy efficient and cost only pennies a day to
operate.
PLANNING ON PAINTING YOUR HOME? READ THIS FIRST:
Particles from paint may clog your HEPA filter, therefore we recommended that users unplug their units and
remove the HEPA filter, storing it off-site until the paint job is complete. Due to the serious toxic nature of
paint it is also recommended that your carbon filter be replaced or refilled in the weeks after the paint job is
complete.
