GENERAL

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock
and injury to persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions

before using the air cleaner.

• This product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a SAFETY FEATURE. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. DO NOT do
anything that will defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
• Always unplug the air oleaner when not in use.
• Do not operate the air cleaner with a damaged cord or
plug or after the air cleaner malfunctions, has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the unit
to Sears for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.
• Do not run power cord under carpeting. Do not cover
cord with throw rugs, runners or the like. Arrange cord
away from traffic areas and where it will not be
tripped over.
• Unplug the air cleaner prior to moving, cleaning or
changing the replacement filters.
• DO NOT place any foreign objects inside the air cleaner.
Electric shock and injury could occur.
• Never expose your air cleaner to rain, use in damp
locations or near water (for example, near bathtubs or
in a wet basement).
• Never operate the air cleaner unless it is fully assembled.
• Do not use this product outdoors.
• Do not use air cleaner in areas where combustible
gases or vapors are present.
• Do not block air intake or any air outlets by placing
air cleaner on soft surfaces such as bedding or sofas.
• Locate the air cleaner near a power outlet and avoid
using an extension cord.
• SAVE THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Kenmore HEPA Air
Cleaning System. HEPA is an acronym for High Efficiency
Particulate Air, which describes a fibrous media designed
to remove 99.97% of particulates of 0.3 microns or larger
in size. A micron is one millionth of a meter. For example,
a human hair is approximately 100 microns in diameter,
while pollen and plant spores are greater than 1 micron
in diameter.
Air pollution can and does exist in our homes. The Kenmore
HEPA Air Cleaner has been designed to thoroughly clean
the air which WE CAN CONTROL: the air within our homes.
With your Kenmore HEPA Air Cleaning System, you can
provide clean and healthy air to your family, air that is free
of smoke particles, dust, pollen and other pollutants.
We highly recommend that you utilize the Kenmore HEPA
Air Cleaning System 24 hours each day to ensure that the
air circulating through your room is continuously being
cleaned and filtered.
This HEPA air cleaning system is most effective when
used in a room with doors and windows closed.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR
HEPA 220 AIR CLEANING SYSTEM
HOW YOUR FILTERING SYSTEM OPERATES:
Dirt, dust, pollen and smoke particulate-ladened air is forced
through our three-stage filtering system, before it leaves the
air cleaner.
Stage 1" Charcoal Pre-filter - Helps remove odors and
harmful gases.
Stage 2: HEPA Filter - The HEPA filter will remove pollen
and most other airborne particulates that affect people
who suffer from allergies and upper respiratory problems.
Stage 3=Electronic IONIZER - Prior to exiting the air
cleaner, the air is exposed to an IONIZER which places
a negative charge on any remaining airborne particles.
The negative charge given to these particulates
enables them to be trapped more easily when they
pass through the system again. A further benefit of the
IONIZER is that it enhances indoor air "freshness".

IONIZER CONTROL SWITCH and INDICATOR LIGHTAn ionizer ON/OFF switch is provided so that you can
operate the air cleaner with or without the ionizer operating.
The Ionizer switch will only operate when the power switch
is on. The indicator light will glow when the ionizer is
powered on. The use of the ionizer will reduce the amount
of airborne particulates. If the air cleaner is placed too
close to a wall or is in a very polluted area, you might
notice a sediment of trapped ionized pollutants build up
on objects adjacent to it.
