RICHTER AP 2 FIVE STAGE FILTRATION SYSTEM
Stage 1: Washable Prefilter
The pre-filter removes large particulates such as hair, dust clumps.
Stage 2: HEPA Filter
HEPA- High Efficiency Particulate Airfilter is 99.95% efficient at removing
particles as small as 0.3 microns in size from the air such as pollen, mildew
spores, dust and particles.
Stage 3: Carbon layer
The carbon layer removes household odours and gases from household
cleaners, paints, solvents, carpets, furniture and other materials containing
chemical substances.
Stage 4: UV LED light
A photocatalytic oxidation reaction occurs when the UV light strikes the
titanium dioxide (Ti02 coating on the inside of the filter cartridge). This
eliminates harmful contaminants in the environment.
Stage 5: Ionizer
The ionizer charges particles with negative ions so they will clump together,
making them easier to remove from the air or from the surface where they
fall.
OPERATION
Place the unit in a location that allows air to circulate freely. The minimum
suggested distance from another object is 10 cm.
1. Plug the cord into a socket.
2. Turn the unit on by turning the speed knob.
3. The blue operating light will turn on, indicating the unit is working.
4. For initial cleaning of the air, or for very polluted air, we suggest to start

5. After initial cleaning you can choose the speed that best suits your envi-
ronment and needs.
