Children must not play with the appliance. Children must not perform cleaning or user maintenance tasks without supervision.
- Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. There is risk of asphyxia-tion.
- Keep the remote control and battery out of the reach of children. There is a risk that children will swallow the battery.

1.3 Re: Power supply

The appliance is operated with electrical power, which means there is always a risk of electric shock. Therefore:

■ Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Keep it away from rain and moisture. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in rooms with a high level of humidity.
- Never touch the plug with wet hands. Always pull directly on the plug if you want to disconnect the appliance from the mains. Never pull on the cord as this could damage it. Never carry the appliance by its cord.
Take care that the power cord is not bent, pinched, or rolled over, and does not touch heat sources or sharp edges. Also take care that it does not become a stumbling hazard.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that the voltage stated on the type plate matches the voltage of your plug socket.
Before you clean or maintain the appliance, switch off the appliance and pull the plug from the mains socket.

1.4 If the appliance is faulty

Never operate a faulty appliance or an appliance with a faulty cord. If the power cord of this appliance is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their authorised service representative or a similarly qualified person to avoid danger.

1.5 Re: Proper use

Only ever use the air purifier domestically. It is not suitable for commercial use.

Only use the air purifier domestically for purifying cool, dry room air. Any other use is considered improper use and is prohibited.

In particular, the following is prohibited:

Suctioning air which is contaminated with toxic vapours or gases, exhaust or flue gases or has microbiological contamination. Air which has a level of contamination from dust or chippings which exceeds the normal domestic concentration must not be suctioned either. Your health may be at risk from air with this type of contamination.
Use in the vicinity of explosive, burning, oxidising, accelerating, combustible or volatile substances or suctioning said substances. Do not use the product simultaneously with, e.g. impregnating agents, hair sprays, insecticides or other combustible fluids and scents or in an chlorinated environment. There is risk of fire or explosion.
Suctioning fatty or hot air, e.g. in the vicinity of chimneys, ovens, hobs, grills, toasters etc., or burning candles. There is a risk of fire.
Use as a substitute for proper ventilation, e.g. as a fresh air supply. The appliance is not a suitable substitute for airing or ventilation. It cannot regulate (neither increase nor reduce) air humidity either.
Use as a substitute for extractor hoods or extractor units, e.g. in kitchens or carpenter's workshops.
Use outdoors or in wet rooms (e.g. in bathrooms or saunas). There is a risk of the appliance being damaged by moisture.
■ Sticking objects into the appliance's openings. Take particular care to keep hair and loose items of clothing away from the appliance. Risk of injury!
■ Use without all filters being correctly installed.
■ Covering the appliance or placing objects on the appliance.
■ Modifying or repairing the appliance yourself.

2.1 Unpacking

Unpack the appliance and all accessory parts and check that the contents are undamaged and complete (▷ page 18, „Your air purifier“).

CAUTION:

Always dispatch the appliance in its original packaging to avoid transport damage. Keep the packaging for this purpose. Dispose of packaging material which is no longer required in accordance with the applicable regulations of your country.

NOTE:

Contact our service representative immediately if you notice any transport damage ▷ page 102, „International Service“.

2.2 Selecting the location for installation

WARNING:

Risk of fire or explosion! Set the appliance up in a place in which it cannot come into contact with chemicals or heat sources and cannot suction explosive, hot or fatty air.

WARNING:

Hazard to your health! Set the appliance up so that the soiled air is not suctioned past persons, in particular if they are sleeping.

WARNING:

Risk of falling! Only unwind the sufficient length of cord so that you can connect the plug to the nearest socket. Wind the rest of the cord back onto the cord winder in the base. Always lay the cord so that it cannot become a stumbling hazard.

CAUTION:

Make sure that you place the appliance on a stable, horizontal surface. Never place the appliance on soft surfaces, such as beds or sofas. Do not set up the appliance in the pivoting range of doors or windows or in areas in which you have to move it frequently.

Make sure that the air can be suctioned and given off free from obstructions.
