10 totalHow do I set up and assemble the NuWave OxyPure air purifier?
With the OxyPure unplugged, turn the Filter Access Lid at the bottom to open it, remove the new HEPA/Carbon Filter, remove the plastic wrapping from the filter, fully insert the filter into the Filter Holder, replace and lock the Filter Access Lid, attach the Power Supply cord, and plug in the unit. It is critical to remove the plastic wrapping before using the filter, as failing to do so may damage the motor and void your warranty. (Page 7)
How do I operate the one-button control panel on the OxyPure?
Plug in the unit (it will beep once), then press the Power icon to cycle through fan speeds: first press activates low speed (400 RPM), second press increases to medium speed (800 RPM), third press increases to high speed (2450 RPM), and fourth press turns the unit off. The LED lights indicate which speed level is active. (Page 8)
When should I replace the HEPA/Carbon filter and how do I do it?
The Replace Filter light (Fan Speed 1 light) glows yellow after 6 months as a reminder to change the filter, and turns red after 1 year when you must change it. To replace: turn off and unplug the unit, take it outside or to a well-ventilated area, wear a mask and rubber gloves, open the Filter Access Lid, remove the old filter into a garbage bag, unwrap and insert the new filter, close the lid, and press and hold Power for 2 short beeps to reset the light to white. (Page 9)
What maintenance and cleaning does the OxyPure require?
Remove the dirty filter and place it in a garbage bag, wash the vented body with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before inserting a clean filter, clean the Motor housing using a vacuum brush attachment or damp cloth, ensure vents are free of obstruction, and do not immerse the Motor housing in water. Clean more frequently depending on your environment to maintain finish and function. (Page 9)
What should I do if the OxyPure won't turn on?
Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate wall outlet and that the Power button on the control panel is turned on. Press the Power button to activate the unit. If the problem persists, contact NuWave Customer Service at 1-877-689-2838 (Monday-Friday, 7:30am-4:30pm CST) or email [email protected]. (Page 9)
What are the key safety precautions I need to follow when using the OxyPure?
Never immerse the cord, plug, or any part in water; do not run the cord under carpeting or furniture; do not plug into an outlet used by other appliances; always set on a flat, stable surface with 2-3 feet of space from vents to walls; do not operate on its side, place objects on top, sit or stand on it; unplug before assembling, cleaning, or changing filters; and never operate without the filter installed.

Operating The Oxypure
Clean Air At The Touch Of A Button

One Button Does it All Simplicity. That is the secret of the OxyPure HEPA 300 Air Purifier. With only one button, it is simple to operate. With its revolutionary HEPA/Carbon filter, it is as easy to relax knowing that your air is as clean as the unit is simple to maintain. With its lightweight design and construction, it is easy to take almost anywhere. Simplicity and peace of mind at the touch of a button. EnergySTAR Certification The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published specifications for energy efficiency using a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) to Watt ratio. The unit being tested must produce a CADR of at least 50 for smoke. Minimum performance is 2.0 CADR/Watt with 2.0 Watts standby power. The OxyPure passed the test handily. Criteria Standard Measured Smoke CADR (ft³/min.) >50 84 Total Energy Conumed (Watts) -- 13.3 Smoke CADR/Watt (ft³/min./W) >2.9 6.3 Standby Power (Watts) <1 0.55 Electrical Safety Along with energy efficiency comes safety. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) ensures that every air purifier sold in California meets certain standards for electrical safety and performance. The OxyPure was tested for electrical safety against the ANSI/UL507 electrical safety standard, and was found to be fully compliant. Test Standard Measured Electrical SafetyAnsi/Ul507

Oxypure Efficiency
Clean Air Delivery Rate and Removal Efficiency An air purifier’s Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) measures clean air flow out of the unit against different air pollutants, in this case smoke, dust and pollen. There are a number of factors that go into CADR from particle size and composition to fan speed to filter cleanliness. You can see this in the following chart: Notice that while the particle size for each is the same, the CADR for each kind of particle is markedly different, with dust having the lowest CADR while pollen has the highest by a wide margin. Smoke, dust and pollen are not the only particle pollutants that can find in your home. The table on page 12 will introduce you to some of them and put their size into perspective for you. Particulate Matter (Size in microns)Cadr
(Ft³/Min.) Removal Efficiency Smoke (0.1µm-1µm) 84 100% in 100 minutes Dust (0.1µm-1µm) 104 100% in 100 minutes Pollen (0.1µm-1µm) 114 100% in 30 minutes Allergies and Sleep When you react to any allergen, it is your body’s immune system working to clear away the harmful or irritating substance by generating antibodies to hunt down the intruder while releasing histimine and other substances that cause the typical symp- toms of an allergic reaction. The OxyPure can help with allergens such as pollen, dust, dustmites, mold spores, wood and coal ash, and any other particle that might be floating around in your home’s air, eliminating them so that you breathe easier day and night. Sleep is Important Allergies can do more than just make you itch and sneeze. They can keep you up, or keep your spouse up as you snore and choke your way through the night, robbing you of rest and leaving you dragging through the day and even leading to things like weight gain, headaches, and even cognitive changes and confusion. It could even be a sign of something even more dangerous, sleep apnea. If allergies are your problem, instead of relying entirely on pills that can make things worse (never just stop any prescription medication without your doctor’s advice), do something about the allergens in your air with a good air purifier with a high CADR and good HEPA/Carbon filters like the OxyPure. The cleaner the air, the less your allergies will bother you. It’s that simple with OxyPure. Did you know... When you cough, you expell enough air to fill a 1.5 liter container in a plume that ex- tends several feet and carries some 3,000 droplets of mucus, saliva and other materi- al at speeds up to 50 miles per hour! When you sneeze, as many as 40,000 droplets are expelled at speeds over 200 miles per hour. They can travel over 8 feet and up to 20 feet into the air, high enough to get into ventilation systems. This is why an good air purifier is so im- portant, especially during cold and flu season. Clean air is the first step to good health, and with the OxyPure, you will know your air is pure and healthy. www.livescience.com/3686-gross-science-cough-sneeze.html www.self.com/story/germs-sneezing-coughing.
nuwavenow.com | 11 Volatile Organic Compounds Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smell- ing gas that belongs to a family of chemicals called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Most people think of it as a preservative for medical specimens and mortuary work, but it is also used in a variety of other ways, such as making particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard; glues and adhesives; permanent-press fabrics; paper product coatings; and some insulation materials. It is also used to make other chemicals and as a preservative in certain foods, antiseptics, medicines, and cosmetics. The main way people are exposed to formaldehyde is by inhaling it. In liquid form it can be absorbed through the skin. People can also be exposed to small amounts by eating foods or drinking liquids containing formaldehyde. Exposure to relatively high amounts of formaldehyde in medical and workplace settings has been linked to some types of cancer in humans, but the effect of exposure to small amounts is less clear. Studies of exposure to formaldehyde in the workplace have also found a possible link to cancer of the nasal sinuses. At present, the limit is at 0.70 parts per million (ppm) on average over an 8 hour workday. The highest concentration that a worker can be exposed to is 2 ppm, and that can only occur over 15 minutes. A carbon filter that absorbs the VOC mole- cules, such as the one on the OxyPure, is the preferred way to deal with VOCs. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/formaldehyde.html
Pollutant Removal
Airborne Virus Elimination Rate Viruses can stay in the air on floating parti- cles or droplets from coughs and sneezes, or carried in from outside. The OxyPure easily removes these pathogens, helping to protect you and your family. Influenza A H3N2 is a variant of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus. It was first identified in pigs in 2010 and then in people in July

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a round-shaped bacteria frequently found on the skin and in the throat, nose, and sinus- es. It spreads through human-to-human contact, as well as on mucus ejected by sneezing or coughing. It remains viable on surfaces for weeks, making it a common cause of infection. Such infections range from sinusitis and acne to pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, bacteremia, sepsis and MRSA in hospitals. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4451395/) Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a rod-shaped coliform bacterium normally found in the lower intestines of people and animals. While most strains of E. coli are harmless, some cause food poisoning and diarrhea, urinary tract and respiratory infections, and other illnesses. (https://www.cdc.gov/ecoli/general/index.html) Aspergillus niger (A. niger) is one of fifteen black-spored strains of the Aspergillus mold. Indoors it is often mistaken for the very harmful Stachybotrys. The spores can become airborne, where they can be inhaled. For those with compromised immune systems, this can cause sinus and lung infections called Aspergillosis, with symptoms including fever, wheezing, shortness of breath, and cough.
