GENERAL ADVICE

• Before putting your air purifier into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should be studied carefully.
• After receiving the air purifier, you should check the unit for any transport damage. In case of damage, you should inform the sender immediately.
• Keep the packaging for the air purifier in a safe place in order to be able to despatch the unit safely if it requires a service. In order to save space, you can simply cut through the adhesive tape using a knife and fold the cardboard box.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

This air purifier uses a multi-stage air cleaning system. The room air first moves across the pre-filter to remove larger particles such as dust from the air. The HEPA filter then removes smaller allergens from the air and finally the charcoal filter removes any smells from the air. The ioniser helps to remove extra dust particles from the air.
The more times that the air within the room passes through the air purifier the cleaner the air will become. This is why it is important to carefully size the air purifier to your room size. Look for a minimum of three air changes per hour through the air purifier, we use five air changes per hour as a guide when sizing the machine up.

CONTROL PANEL

When plugged in all LED indicators will display for one second and then turn off – the air purifier is in standby mode. The display is touch screen, press the buttons quickly and firmly unless instructed otherwise.

Power button

Press the power button once to turn the air purifier on – it will run in default mode. The LED lights will change colour for 20 seconds in the following order:
blue – cyan – green – yellow – orange – red – purple
After 20 seconds the light will stay solid. The chosen light colour is dependent on the air quality. Blue indicates good air quality, yellow indicates average air quality and purple indicates poor air quality. The digital display will show the PM2.5 number of the air.
Press the power button again to turn the air purifier off – all the LED indicators will turn off and the air purifier will be in standby mode.

PM_2.5 reading

PM_2.5 means the mass per cubic metre of air of particles with a size (diameter) generally less than 2.5 micrometres (µm). The air purifier has a laser sensor which measures the concentration of dust particles in the air. This is then shown on the display as a PM_2.5 particle reading – effectively showing how clean the air is.
0-75µm means the air quality is good, 76-150µm means the air quality is normal and 150+ µm means the air quality is bad. The light ring will change colour in correspondence to these levels.

Mode button

Press the mode button to move through the four modes: Auto, High, Medium and Sleep. The corresponding symbol will light up on the display.

1. Auto Mode: The fan speed will automatically adjust according to the air quality.
2. High Mode: The air purifier will run on the highest fan speed.
3. Medium Mode: The air purifier will run on the middle fan speed.
4. Sleep Mode: In sleep mode all lights on the display will turn off after five seconds. The power light and sleep mode icon will remain on but dim. The air purifier will run on the lowest fan speed.
