3. Functionality

3.1 AX 500 Operating Mode

1

The air cleaner draws air through the front side and passes it through an advanced HEPA filter. The filtration system removes pollutants from the air. When the ionizer is switched on, the air is additionally enhanced with negative ions. The cleaned and enhanced air is returned into the room through the top of the unit.

The air cleaner helps to provide a comfortable sense of well-being by removing cold tobacco smoke, odors, household dust, pet hair and pollen.

The AX 500 features a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter features an activated carbon filter, enabling the neutralization of odors. The AX 500 is delivered with the filters installed. These are sealed in a protective bag, which must be removed before initialization.

Beneficial to your health

Did you know that without any physical exertion, a person draws approximately 14 to 16 breaths per minute? This number can rise as high as 60 times per minute under physical exertion. In one day, you breathe approximately 23'000 times and take in about 10'000 liters of air. The entire surface of alveole (little air pockets inside the lungs) is as large as a tennis court. Thanks to this air cleaner, you will be breathing up to 10'000 liters of clean air.

4. Starting operation

4.1 Initial operation

Please read the entire manual before initial set-up and installation of this unit.

Caution! Filters must be removed from protective bags before initial operation (see page 55)!

4.2 Set up

The air purifier works on the concept of ionization. This could lead to a stronger deposit of pollutants in the area surrounding the air cleaner. Since dark spots could form, it is recommended to place the unit near washable surfaces.

Place unit on a solid and stable surface. During set-up, ensure the unit is placed on a safe surface and the air flow is not blocked by items such as furniture. Place at least 60~cm from walls. Do not place near radiators or other heating sources. Be sure the electrical cord does not pose a tripping hazard and the unit is out of reach of children.

Important:

Do not place unit near sensitive electronics such as video or music tapes, floppy disks, computers, watches, lamps with sensor switches, radios, stereo equipment, telephones, VCR, etc.

Do not place on metal surfaces.

Upon initialization, the unit immediately starts to clean your air. For highest efficiency, close entry doors and windows during initiation.

The backside of the unit features a handle. Turn unit off and unplug before moving it.

4.3. AX 500 benefits

Smoke

Dust

Pollen

Dust mites

Bacteria

Food odors

Pet dander

The air purifier and ionizer improves the air quality in your room. The filters not only removes large particles, but also pollutants smaller than 0.1 Micrometer.

The AX 500 enhances the air with negative ions, which are found in large quantities in clean outside air (approx. 1000 - 5000 per cm^3 of air). Inside rooms, the quantity is reduced to a few hundred units or less. Since pollutants in ambient air are charged with ions, the ions of this unit are electrostatically repelled and fall to the floor.

The air purifier can be beneficial to people suffering from asthma or allergies by removing pollutants, smoke, pollen, dust, fibers and soot and therefore minimizing resulting symptoms.

The AX 500 can also help with various weather dependent ailments such as headaches, nausea and body aches.

The AX 500 can help you achieve relaxation and improved sleep.

The AX 500 checks air circulation in its surroundings and reduces stuffy and stale air, a major complaint in offices and work stations.

Ions are electrically charged particles. An electron deficiency charges them positive, electron excess negative. Negative charged ions as emitted by the air purifier, have a positive environmental effect: They neutralize odors and leave the air with a fresh scent, just as you are familiar with from non-industrial areas or following a thunderstorm.

4.4. Electrical connection

Upon plugging the unit in or pushing any button, the unit will beep. When the unit is turned off, the LCD display is off. When the POWER button is pushed, the blue LCD display lights up and the time is displayed. After a few seconds, the display extinguishes again and the unit enters standby mode. Pushing the POWER button when the unit is turned on or in standby mode will turn the air purifier off (the display is dark).

4.5 Setting clock

When plugging the unit in (or after an interruption in the circuit) the display will show 00:00.

To set the time, press the TIMER button until unit beeps (the hour display will blink). Set the hour with the SPEED or IONIZER button. After setting the desired hour, wait a moment until the minute display begins to blink. Use the SPEED or IONIZER button to set the minutes. Wait until the display stops blinking. You have successfully set the clock.

Note: The clock can only be set in Standby mode.

4.6. Power on/off and fan adjustment

If the unit is not already in Standby mode (clock is displayed), press the POWER button. Turn the unit off by pressing the POWER button again. Turn the unit on by pressing the SPEED button. The air purifier automatically starts on the highest setting (the fan symbol in the display runs fast).
