Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a pre-
Filter, a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharges the air through the air outlet.
The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns that
pass through the filter.
Some odours absorbed by the filter may break down over time, resulting in additional
odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in
extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this
odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, the
filter should be replaced.
NOTE
• The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust, but not harmful gases
(for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke).
