The air purifier features a powerful fan with 360-degree airflow to pull polluted air from multiple directions. Place the unit on a flat surface at least 12 inches away from the wall or other objects including HVAC vents, and close enough to plug into a nearby electrical outlet without using an extension cord.

If the filter replacement icon does not come on after 12 months, we recommend changing the filter at that time.
