Frequently Asked Questions - Breathe 4500 DOMETIC

How to install the Breathe 4500 on my Dometic air conditioner?

Installation must be performed by a qualified professional. First disconnect the power supply. Follow the specific instructions for your air conditioner model (FreshJet, Penguin, etc.) provided in the manual. Use the drilling template for the ionization needles. Secure the purifier using the provided screws and adhesives.

Which types of air conditioners are compatible?

The Breathe 4500 is compatible with Dometic air conditioners for motorhomes and boats, including FreshJet series (ADB2012, ADB2015, Series 3/4 MECH), Penguin II (MECH/ELEC), Blizzard NXT (MECH/ELEC), Brisk II, and Dometic marine air conditioners.

How does ionization purification work?

The device uses needle ionization to produce negative and positive ions. These ions neutralize particles (mold, dust, odors, bacteria) by agglomerating them, which removes them from the air. The process is automatic when the air conditioner fan is running.

How often should the ionization needles be cleaned?

It is recommended to check and clean the ionization needles regularly, ideally at every air conditioner filter maintenance. Frequent cleaning ensures optimal efficiency and prevents fire risks due to accumulation of impurities.

Is the device safe for asthmatic people?

Yes, the air purifier reduces particles and mold, which can improve air quality. However, health aspects have not been studied by UL LLC. Consult a doctor for personal advice. The device is CARB certified and complies with ozone emission limits in California.

Can I use this purifier without an air conditioner?

No, the Breathe 4500 is designed to be installed only on a Dometic air conditioner. It does not work as an independent device. Purified air is routed through the air conditioner ducts to the conditioned space.

What to do if the LED does not light up?

Check that the air conditioner is running (the purifier activates with the fan). Ensure the connection cable is properly plugged in. If the LED remains off, contact Dometic customer service via dometic.com/dealer. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Does the product emit ozone?

The Breathe 4500 is CARB certified (California Air Resources Board) and complies with ozone emission restrictions. Needle ionization technology produces ions without generating harmful ozone under normal operating conditions.

What is the power consumption?

The device consumes 20 mA at a voltage of 100-245 V~, i.e., approximately 4.8 W at 240 V. This represents very low consumption, comparable to electronic device standby.

Where to find spare parts?

For spare parts (ionization needles, cables, etc.), contact your Dometic dealer or authorized service center. Visit dometic.com/dealer to find a point of sale near you. Use only original parts.
