HOW YOUR HEPA AIR CLEANER WORKS  
Dirty, dust-laden air is drawn through the Air Intake Grill of the  
unit where it first passes through the HEPA filter cartridge.  
The HEPA media removes virtually all airborne particles passing  
through it.  
®
Additionally, the filter is treated with Microban antimicrobial  
protection. This protects the filter by inhibiting the growth of  
odor-causing bacteria and mold on the filter surface.  
The air then passes through an activated carbon filter, which  
helps to remove odors.  
Finally the outlet air stream has a negative ion emitter which  
further enhances the cleaning of the air through the electrostatic  
precipitation of small airborne particles.  
Clean air is not a luxury – It is a necessity!  
FEATURES AND CONTROLS  
1. Air Intake Grill – Air is drawn into the front/top  
(depending on unit orientation) of the air cleaner.  
2. Air Exit Grill – After the air has been cleaned, it is  
dispersed into the surroundings through the outlet grill.  
3. Negative Ion Source – A feature of the air cleaner is the  
incorporation of a negative ion generator. Negative ions help  
clean the air by electrostatic precipitation of small airborne

particles. If the unit is close to a wall and/or in a very polluted  
area, some deposition of particles on objects surrounding  
the Air Cleaner will occur and may accelerate the natural  
darkening of the immediate environment. To avoid  
discoloration of walls, move unit away from wall  
or operate ionizer only as needed.  
4. Function Switch – The units mode of operation is controlled  
by a simple rotary switch. The user can select the unit to  
have fan operation with or without ions being emitted.  
This switch also turns the unit “off”.

5. Indicator Lights – Indicator lights tell the user when the unit  
is on, (“Power” symbol), and when the unit's mode is set to  
have ions emitted, (“Ions” symbol).  
6. Filter Condition Monitor – When the ball, at high speed  
setting, reaches the high end of the indicator scale, the filter  
cartridge is loaded with particulate pollutants and needs  
changing (LC0760 & LC1060).  
7. Fan Control – The air-cleaning rate of the unit can be  
controlled for maximum efficiency and convenience. The  
two speed fan control is used to select the operating speed  
of the fan. The unit is designed to run continuously at the  
low speed setting. For extended motor life, it is recommend-  
ed that the high speed setting be used only when necessary.  
8. Filter Check Light (LC1460) – An electric switch senses the  
condition of the filter cartridge and turns on an indicator light  
if the filter cartridge needs to be changed.  
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. When removing the unit from the packing case, visually  
check for shipping damage. Please contact both the shipper  
and your dealer immediately if the unit bears any sign of  
damage from mishandling. All Bionaire® units are carefully  
inspected before leaving our factory.  
2. KEEP SHIPPING CARTON AND PACKING for use in the  
unlikely event that your Bionaire® unit needs servicing. If this  
unit is shipped without the original packing, damage could  
occur and void the warranty.  
3. PLEASE REFER TO THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE  
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW Bionaire® Air Cleaner.  
WARNING: Check the operating voltage shown on  
the back of the unit. Do not operate at voltages other  
than shown.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Remove the inlet grill, remove the HEPA filter cartridge and  
the carbon filter and remove any plastic wrapping or panels  
from them. Re-install the filters as per the section “Filter  
Replacement”.  
2. After re-installing the filters, choose a suitable location,  
table top, shelf or wall (see wall-mount instructions)  
ensuring that both the air intake and exit are not obstructed.  
The air cleaner can be placed as a vertical “tall” unit, or  
5

as a horizontal “low profile” unit, depending on your  
personal preference.  
3. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.  
4. Set the unit to the desired mode of operation, “Fan/On”  
or “Fan/Ions”.  
5. Select the desired fan speed (LC1060 & LC1460 “Low,”  
“Med” or “High”) (LC0760 “Low” or “High”).  
Low Airflow - For continuous, extra quiet filtration.  
Medium Airflow - For continuous filtration.  
High Airflow - For maximum, transient pollution filtration.  
NOTE: Maximum filtration efficiency may not be reached  
until after the first 48 hours of operation.  
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS  
Be sure the unit is switched off and unplugged from the power  
outlet.  
PLASTIC HOUSING - A soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner  
may be used to remove any excessive dirt or fingerprints.  
Treated like any other quality appliance, your Bionaire® unit  
will retain its attractive appearance for many years.  
ION EMITTER PINS - FIRST, TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE  
UNIT. Reach into the air exit grill with a cotton swab dipped into  
alcohol to clean any dirt that may have accumulated on the pins.  
Use caution when cleaning pins.  
WARNING: Do not wash the HEPA filter cartridge or the  
carbon filter. These are disposable items.  
FILTER REPLACEMENT  
To keep your unit operating at peak efficiency, the HEPA filter  
cartridge should be replaced as needed or as indicated by the  
Filter Condition Monitor (figure 2, LC0760 & LC1060). The HEPA  
filter cartridge is designed with large media surface areas and  
may last up to one year in typical operation. The rate at which  
the filter clogs with particulates depends on the volume and  
quality of air being filtered. If the unit is used continuously on  
high in a room with a strong source of particulates, such as a  
work shop, then the effective life of the filter will be reduced. In a  
cleaner environment, operating mainly on lower speeds, the filter  
will last longer. The carbon filter should be replaced regularly,  
about every three months or when odor removal effectiveness  
is noticeably reduced.

Filter Condition Evaluation  
To test the condition of the filter cartridge, turn the unit on high  
speed and observe the output airflow of the unit. When the filter  
cartridge becomes clogged with particles there will be a notice-  
able drop in air flow and the air output will no longer be steady.  
Additionally, the indicator ball will be hovering in the upper region  
of the flow meter (figure 2, LC0760 & LC1060).

THE ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF NEGATIVE IONIZATION.  
This Bionaire® model is a compact air cleaner offering the  
benefits of negative ionization. Behind the outlet grill you will  
notice two sharp pins pointing into the airstream. This is the  
ionization source.  
Responding to the challenge of improving the quality of indoor  
air, Bionaire® introduced compact air cleaners to combine  
the revolutionary HEPA filter system along with ion generators  
producing millions of negative ions.  
In order to maintain the ion output, the emitter pins should  
be cleaned, as per the “Cleaning Instructions”, when an  
accumulation of dust is noticed on the tips of the pins.  
After extended use, dust may collect around the outlet panel.  
This is due to the electrostatic precipitation process initiated  
by the negative ions emerging from the unit. This dust does  
not originate from the discharged air but is drawn out of the  
uncleaned air going past the air outlet. It is additional evidence  
of the air-cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust is  
easily removed by wiping the panel with a soft cloth.  
WALL-MOUNTING  
There are two keyhole slots on the back which allow  
the unit to hang on two suitable screws inserted into a wall.  
Select #8 Pan Head screws that are approximately  
1" - 1 1/4" long that can be inserted into and retained by the  
keyhole slots. Verify their suitability before fixing them in the wall  
by sliding them into the keyhole slots.  
Carefully mark the two hole locations horizontally on the  
wall (distance between holes should be; 4.5 inches (11.4 cm).  
Make sure that the screws are of correct length to give reliable  
support. The use of wall plugs or expansion devices will be  
needed for plaster board walls.  
Drive screws into the wall leaving a gap of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm)  
between the wall and the underside of the screw head.  
Hold the air cleaner against the wall, insert the screw heads  
into the keyhole slots, carefully lower the unit to fully engage the

screw heads into the slots. Adjust height of the screw head as  
required to suit the wall’s contours.
