Placing the air cleaner
• As a rule, the air
cleaner should be
given a central
position and should
be placed on the
floor with its back
against the wall or or
hung on the wall
(fig. 2-4).
3
• Excess cord can be
stored at the back (K)
of the appliance
(fig. 1).
• Never cover the air
inlets or outlet
(fig. 5).
• When you are using
a heating device:
position the air cleaner in such a way that the
airflow caused by the appliance coincides with
the convective airflow of the heating device.
You should therefore place the air cleaner next
to the radiator or other heating appliance
(fig. 6-7).
6
• It is also possible to use more than one air
cleaner in a room. This is advisable if the room
is very big and/or has an irregular shape. In this
case it is best to put both appliances against
the same wall, yet as far removed from each
other as possible.
• For proper cleaning of the air in a room, we
advise you to use one HR 4342 air cleaner for
2

7
rooms with a surface area of up to 40 m
3
(100 m ).
• Particularly people who suffer from a respiratory
allergy are advised to put an air cleaner in the
living room as well as in the bedroom and to let
both air cleaners run continuously.
Using the air cleaner
• Before you use the appliance for the first
time: Fill the active carbon filters with the
supplied carbon granules (see
'Checking/replacing the active carbon').
• Stick the white
sticker that comes
with the granules
onto one of the filters
(fig. 8) and write the
date on which you
replaced the carbon
granules on it.
• For a continuous
supply of fresh,
clean air in your
room, run the appliance continuously at low (1)
or normal (2) speed.
• For quick air cleaning, set the speed control (G)
to the turbo setting and switch to speed 1 or 2
after approximately 30 minutes.
• Check regularly if the filters need to be cleaned
and/or replaced, particularly if the appliance
starts to produce more noise. If necessary,
clean the prefilter and/or replace the HEPA filter
and the active carbon.
Opening the air cleaner
Note that the front of the air cleaner has been
provided with an automatic safety lock which
makes it impossible for you to open the appliance
while it is running. The automatic safety lock also
ensures that you cannot switch the appliance on
when the front has been removed.
- Set the speed control
to O (fig. 9).
- Remove the plug
from the wall socket.
