With kind regards, Your Beurer team Getting to know your device Humans spend a large proportion of their time indoors. The air indoors is often polluted with dust particles, pollen, animal hair, odours, harmful gases as well as various bacteria and viruses. The LR 220 air purifier cleans the ambient air using a three-layered filter system. The LR 220 air purifier
• filters the air with a combi filter (pre-filter / HEPA filter H 13 / activated carbon filter)
• operates quietly with three power levels (night mode, settings I and II) and a turbo mode
• has a timer function (two, four or eight hours)
• is suitable for room sizes of 13 m² 1) - 37 m² 2)
• switches off automatically when the housing base is opened and the filter is removed.

Principle of air cleaning

1. The air purifier's fan sucks in the contaminated air.

2. The pre-filter filters out larger particles such as dust, dirt and hairs.

3. The HEPA filter then filters out small particles such as pollen, bacteria or viruses.

4. Next, the activated carbon filter filters formaldehyde, benzene and other poisonous gases and odours out

5. The cleaned air is emitted via the air outlet on top of the air purifier into the ambient air.

The HEPA H 13 filter has a filter performance of ≥ 99.95%. That means that 99.95% of particles measuring ≥ 0.3 µm (e.g. bacteria, viruses and fine dust) can be filtered out. Contaminated, unfiltered air can have the following effects:

• Infections and respiratory diseases are more likely to occur
• Damage to health through harmful gases Table of contents
