FEATURES

1. De'Longhi air purifiers incorporate the latest technology in domestic air filtration;
2. A powerful silent fan motor draws in the air from the front panel;
3. The contaminated air passes through a washable prefilter which removes the larger impurities such as dust and pollen. The partially filtered air is then passed through a long-lasting HEPA filter with a large filtering surface. This is easily recognisable as it is made with special folded paper. This HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter removes impurities down to 0.1 micron in size, filtering all types of particles and even bacteria.
4. The air then passes through an activated carbon filter which removes odours. The filter is dark grey and is easily distinguished by its highly porous appearance;

1. Purified air is then returned to the room through the top mounted grill. The upward movement of filtered air promotes efficient circulation without causing unpleasant drafts;
2. When switched on, an independently controlled ionizer releases a cloud of negative ions into the outgoing filtered air;
3. When coming into contact with the negative ions, small airborne particles become negatively charged. These can then combine with positively charged particles to form larger particles which are subsequently filtered by the purifier; otherwise, the negative particles will be attracted to positively charged surfaces such as walls or floors;
4. The negative ions help create a better balance of ions in the room as, generally, there is a predominance of positive ions over negative ones. So ionizing helps reduce the static electricity created by rugs, carpets, televisions and computer screens.

G) Power cable

H) Plug

I) Timer light

L) Timer button

M) Ionising button

N) Silent light

0) Standard light

P) Turbo light

1. Unpack the air purifier and place it on a flat, stable surface so that the air inlet (front grill) and air outlet (top grill) are not blocked A good place to position the appliance could be at least a metre away from a wall.
2. Remove the front grill (A). Inside you will find the filters packed in plastic bags;
3. Remove the filter packaging. Position the filters in the order shown in the diagram: activated carbon filter (black), resting directly against the inside of the purifier so that it stays there, then the HEPA filter, resting against the activated carbon filter and finally the prefilter.
4. Replace the front panel;
5. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds to that indicated on the appliance, then plug the appliance into the mains socket.
6. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON-OFF/fan speed button (Q), then press the button again to select the required fan speed (quiet, standard, turbo).

Quiet mode: use this mode when you want the purifier to work silently.

Standard mode: use this mode when you want the purifier to work at medium speed.

Turbo mode: use this mode when you want the purifier to work at maximum speed in smoky or particularly dusty atmospheres.

The light corresponding to the mode selected comes on.

1. To release negative ions into the room with the purified air, press the ioniser button. The light on the button comes on.
2. Programme mode:

To activate programme mode, with the appliance on, press the timer button. The appliance goes off after three hours.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Clean the outside of the air purifier with a soft, clean, damp cloth to remove dust, grime and fingerprints.

The front grill and prefilter within it can be removed and washed separately in warm, soapy water (NOT in a dishwasher). Dry the components carefully before replacing. The top air emission grill can be cleaned with a small, soft brush.

WARNING: Never immerse the appliance in water to clean the purifier.

MAINTENANCE AND FILTER REPLACEMENT

1. Remember that the efficiency of your purifier depends largely on the condition of the filters. These should therefore be checked regularly.
2. Remove the front panel. Inspect the prefilter. If a considerable amount of dust and other dirt has accumulated, remove the filter from the grill and wash it by hand in warm soapy water. Dry well before replacing;
3. The life of the HEPA and activated carbon filters depends on the conditions of use. In general, with continuous 24-hour operation at medium speed in conditions with normal amounts of dust/smoke in the air, the HEPA filters last about 12-18 months and the activated carbon filters about 6-12 months.
   To change the activated carbon filter, first remove the HEPA filter, then remove the activated carbon filter and replace with a new one. Before replacing the front panel, check that the prefilter is clean. Frequent cleaning of the prefilter will help prolong the life of the HEPA filter;
4. When the white filter becomes dark grey or brown, it needs replacing.
   Do not wash the activated carbon or HEPA filters. Once exhausted, these filters can no longer be used.
5. De'Longhi replacement filters are available from our service centres and home appliance retailers.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste.

It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
