ause electric 
shock	or	fire	due	to	excess	heat	generation.
•	 Do not insert or pull out plug with wet hands, it may cause electric sho\
ck.

•	 Disconnect the power if strange sounds, smell or smoke comes from it. 
•	 Do	not	try	to	change	the	filter	during	operation.
•	 Do not drop the unit, as this can result in damage.
•	 	 Do	not	place	heavy	objects	on	the	power	cord	and	take	care	so	that	the	cord	is	not	com -

ertz) can be found  
on the product sticker on the side or bottom of the unit. Plugging the u\
nit in to the incorrect 
socket type can damage/destroy the unit.
•	   To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug\
 (one blade is               
wider	than	the	other).	 This	plug	will	fit	in	a	polarized	outlet	only	one	way.		If	the	plug	does	
not	fit	fully	in	the	outlet,	reverse	the	plug.		If	it	still	does	not	fit,	contact	qualified	personnel	
to install the proper outlet.  Do not alter the plug in any way.

cord under the unit and use the 
side cut out to feed the desired

using the night Light
The	Night	Light	on	the	front	of	the	Paralda	will	be	illuminated	the	first	time	you	turn	your	unit	
on.  The Night Light can easily be turned off and back on with the “Light” button on the control 
panel.		The	Paralda	will	remember	your	selection.		If	the	night	Light	is	turned	off	when	the	
Paralda is turned off, it will remain off the next time the unit is turned on and vice versa.  
About the ionizer
The ionizer charges particles as they pass through the unit, causing the\
m  to stick to each 
other and become larger in size.  Larger particles settle out of the air\
 quicker, and are easier 
for	the	filter	to	capture	the	next	time	they	pass	through	the	unit.		 Alen	Ionizers	are	Ozone-Safe,	
certified	by	the	California	 Air	Resources	Board.	This	feature	can	be	turned	on	and	off	with	the	
“Ion”	button	on	the	control	panel.
CARE  And MAintEnAnCE
The	filters	used	in	all	of	 Alen	HEPA	Air	Purifiers	are	not	designed	to	be	washed,	cleaned	or	
otherwise	reused.		Over	time,	the	filters	become	overloaded	with	particles,	decreasing	their	
filtration	performance.	We	recommend	regular	filter	replacements	(at	least	every	6	months	with	
normal	use)	to	extend	the	life	of	your	air	purifier	and	maximize	performance.
Why You Should Replace Your filter
•	 Fulfills	the	terms	of	 Alen’s	Lifetime	Limited	Warranty	which	clearly	states	that	the	filters	
are required to be changed on a regular basis in order to prevent excess\
ive stress on the 
unit. 
 
•	 You	have	bought	an	 Alen	HEPA	Air	Purifier	to	improve	the	quality	of	your	indoor	air.		
Changing	your	filters	will	maintain	the	level	of	air	quality	you	require.		Excessively			dirty	
filters	can	compromise	the	level	of	clean	air	your	air	purifier	can	provide.
