Philips HR4345/00 Operating Instructions Manual page 4

English
Cigarettes, cigars and pipes produce a smoke which contains
microscopic particles (approx. 0.18 micron) and around 3000
different gases.
Your Philips Air Cleaner helps you clean the air effectively by
catching 90% of gases and 95% of particles produced by
smoking.
How does the Philips Air Cleaner work?
The Air Cleaner takes air from the room and directs it through
the filter system.
After cleaning, the purified air is blown back into the room
towards the ceiling.
For optimum removal of gases and particles from the air, the
appliance employs a sophisticated 3-stage Air Cleaner filter:
Pre-filter
The Pre-filter catches the larger dust particles floating in the
air, such as fluff and hairs.
Hepa filter
This filter takes out all the smaller airborne particles.
The filter is made from glass fibres closely matted such that
particles cannot pass through.
Similar filters are used in most hospital operating rooms.
Carbon filter
The last filter is the Carbon filter.
Activated Carbon is the only material which can effectively
adsorb gases.
This Air Cleaner can be set to automatically select the correct
speed of air cleaning.
The appliance is equipped with a 24-hour clock and a timer
which make it possible to select a timespan after which the
appliance will switch off.
An indicator light will light up when the Carbon filters need
replacement.
Positioning
1
• In general, it is advisable to place the Air Cleaner
- close to where people are smoking to prevent smoke
dispersion;
- in a central position, with its back against the wall and
above head level (fig. 1 - 2).

• The Air Cleaner can also be wall-mounted (fig. 3 - 4).
Select a position similar to fig. 1 - 2.
• It is also possible to place more than one Air Cleaner in the
same room.
This is especially advisable if the room is very large and/or
has an irregular shape.
In such a case it is best to place the appliances as far apart
as possible but against the
same wall.
• Never obstruct the air inlet or
outlet openings (fig. 5).
• When using heating
appliances: place the Air
Cleaner so that the air stream
it generates coincides with the
convection air stream
produced by the heater.
This means: Position the Air
Cleaner next to the radiator or
other source of heating
(fig. 6 - 7).

Is one Air Cleaner sufficient?
To purify effectively the air in a domestic room or an area of a
room, all the air must pass the Air Cleaner filters 2 - 3 times per
hour.
Depending on the air contents of the room or area concerned
one Air Cleaner type HR 4345 should be used for rooms /
areas up to approx. 40 m
