• 1 Operating instructions The packaging can be reused or recycled. Please dispose properly of any pack- aging material no longer required. If you notice any transport damage during unpacking, please contact your dealer without delay. WARNING To avoid risk of suffocation, keep packaging film away from children! Rooms do not always have adequate air circulation. This then favours the build up of dust particles in the air and the development and spread of germs and unpleasant odours. The new air purifier APS can solve this problem and allows you to enjoy clean and fresh air in your home. The HEPA high performance filter collects dust particles from the air in the room. It has an excellent dust collection rate of up to 99.97 %. The electro- static dust collector has a large capacity and is easy to clean. The UV technolo- gy helps to kill off germs and mould in the air. The latest ionisation technolo- gy enriches the air we breathe in our rooms with active oxygen. This removes dust and smoke and neutralises any unpleasant odours.11
