defeat this safety feature.  
•Use indoors only.  
•Before unplugging the unit from the outlet, turn off all  
the controls.

Warnings  
•Do not use if cord or plug appears to be damaged. If the  
appliance is not working properly, or has been dropped,  
damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to  
a service center or to the original place of purchase.  
•Do not pull, lift or carry by the power cord. Do not use the cord  
as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around  
or against sharp edges or corners.  
•Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.  
•A damaged power cord must be replaced by qualified service  
personnel only. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the  
unit. Any attempt to open the unit will void the warranty and  
could lead to serious damage to the unit and/or personal injury  
to the user.  
•Do not put any object into openings. Do not continue to use  
with any opening blocked. Keep all openings free of dust, lint,  
hair or anything that may reduce airflow.  
•Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away  
from openings.  
•Do not operate the unit in areas where flammable or combus-  
tible products or vapors may be present.  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
 
Important Information – Please Read  
The collection grid has many edges and areas that can trap  
water. Ensure the grid is completely dry before re-inserting it into  
the unit. If it is not completely dry, the unit could be damaged.  
If water is used to clean the grid, allow at least 24 hours for the  
collection grid to dry.  
This unit should not be located near a fireplace, whether or not  
the fireplace is actually in operation. Dust and soot from the  
chimney could be rapidly drawn through the Ionic Breeze® air  
purifier and deposited on or around the unit.  
In any area where this product is subjected to heavy pollution  
or smoke, it will be necessary to clean the collection grid  
more frequently.  
If the unit begins to arc or make a “static-like” sound, turn the  
unit off, slide the collection grid out and slowly invert the unit  
several times. Replace the grid.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ionic Breeze®  
How often is cleaning required?  
Clean the grids at least every two weeks, anytime the Ionic  
Breeze makes a sound or when the Cleaning Overdue  
indicator illuminates.  
How should it be cleaned?  
Wipe the removable collection grid with a damp cloth, paper  
towel or sponge. It is very important that the collection grid  
be allowed to dry completely before returning it to the  
main housing.  
What is the clean fresh scent I smell?  
3
The scent is ozone, (O ), a combination of three oxygen atoms.  
(The U.S. government has set safe standards for ozone and the  
Ionic Breeze complies with those standards.)  
Which power setting should I use?  
If the odor of ozone is strong (for instance in a smaller room),  
you may prefer to have the power setting on medium or low.  
Please read this product instruction manual for impor-  
tant safety information and operating instructions.

OzoneGuard™  
The Ionic Breeze was packed with an OzoneGuard front grill  
preinstalled. To clean the OzoneGuard and the front grill, follow  
the directions for Thorough Cleaning of the front grill.  
What does OzoneGuard™ do?  
With the OzoneGuard in place, a significant portion of ground-  
level ozone inside the air purifier — including any trace levels of  
ozone by-product — is converted into oxygen before the cleaned  
air circulates back into the room.  
Why is the OzoneGuard™ smaller than the grill itself?  
The majority of the air output is directed toward the center of the  
grill and therefore a larger OzoneGuard isn’t necessary.  
Does the Ionic Breeze still have the Negative-Ion Feature™ option?  
Yes it does. The new OzoneGuard front grill does not affect the  
popular Negative-Ion Feature of the Professional Plus™ Ionic  
Breeze® air purifiers. An emitter at the bottom of the new grill has  
replaced the ionizing wires inside the original grill. The feature  
itself works the same way as before.  
Please read this product instruction manual for impor-  
tant safety information and operating instructions.

General Instructions  
Setup and Operation

at least twelve inches from the wall  
and furniture. Plug into a polarized  
110V outlet. (Read Warnings for details.)  
Switch the MODE CONTROL to the  
desired setting:  
12"

traffic areas.

This Professional Plus™ model  
features 3 charged collection  
blades separated by 2 driver blades.  
This improves the particle capture rate.

Cleaning the Collection Grid  
Clean the grid every one or two weeks. As a reminder, the  
Cleaning Overdue indicator will turn amber after two weeks. If  
the Cleaning Overdue indicator turns red, the unit has shut down  
because of excessive dirt or circuitry problems. In many cases, a  
thorough cleaning will return the unit to normal operation.  
Collection Grid  
Release-Latch  
1. Before cleaning, unplug the unit.  
2. Remove the collection grid  
by releasing the latch and  
pulling the grid from the  
top of the unit.  
3. Use a dry or slightly damp  
towel or sponge to quickly  
wipe the dust from each of  
the three collection bars.  
4. Before replacing the grid,  
invert the entire unit two  
or three times.  
11  
 
Thorough Cleaning  
If the unit makes noise during operation, a thorough cleaning of  
the grid, back grill and OzoneGuard front grill may be required.  
Note: The OzoneGuard cannot be detached from the front grill.  
The OzoneGuard has sharp edges; use caution when cleaning.  
1. Before cleaning, unplug the unit.  
2. Release the back grill and the OzoneGuard  
front grill by lifting the blue RELEASE-TABS  
on the bottom of the grills. Slide up to remove.  
3. Use a hair dryer to blow dust from the  
interior or a vacuum to remove the dust.  
4. The grills can be cleaned with a mild deter-  
gent and warm water. Before returning to  
Release-Tabs  
unit, rinse and allow to dry.  
Do not use a dishwasher to clean any part of this unit.  
CAUTION: Do not use the product if the ionizing wires are  
broken or either grill appears damaged.  
To order a replacement grill, call 1-800-344-5555.

Additional Information  
The exterior of the unit can be cleaned using a cloth or sponge  
and a solution of one part household bleach to five parts water or  
any bleach-based spray cleaner.  
Before plugging the unit back into an outlet, allow the surface to  
dry completely.  
The unit will not function while the collection grid is removed or  
either of the grills are removed.  
The majority of collected particles will gather on the removable  
stainless steel grid. Over time, debris will accumulate inside the  
unit. To access the inside, remove the front and rear grills.  
(See section titled “Thorough Cleaning.”)  
The Ionic Breeze® air purifiers comply with current U.S. safety  
requirements for low ozone emissions for consumer products.  
We recommend that individuals with a history of respiratory  
disease consult with their doctor about possible heightened  
sensitivity to very low ozone.
