- Avoid installing it close to TV sets, radios and other devices using waves; the image could be blurred, noise could occur and there could be interference with the remote control. Keep a distance of at least 1m .
- In order to optimize the air circulation in the room, please leave a space of minimum 30cm on each side of the unit.
- Do not place anything on the unit, especially not magnets or metal objects.

OPERATION

The air sterilizer improves air quality and reduces the risk of infections caused by airborne germs. Such as viruses & bacteria. It is certified to eliminate 99,9999% of viruses including the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variants. The innovative UVC technology in this sterilizer also fights pollen, mold and other organic germs.

This is how the UVC air sterilizer works:

1) Preparation: Place UVC air sterilizer in the room. Plug in the power cable. Make sure that there is enough distance from walls and other objects. The more centralized you place the sterilizer in the room, the higher the efficiency.
2) Start: Press the power button on top of the sterilizer or on your remote control.
3) Sterilization process: The ventilation system automatically sucks in the air and leads it into the UVC chamber where powerful UVC lamps eliminate germs instantly and safely. Also, bad odors are removed by the UVC light and the additional carbon filters. The now sterilized air is released back into the room.
4) Safety: It is important that no UVC light can leave the device. Therefore, special carbon filters are in place. Furthermore, an emergency shutdown occurs if the UVC chamber is opened during usage.
5) Monitoring: On the lower part of the front side you can find a transparent window. If you see a green light in there the device is working correctly. If it is red, please change the lamps as instructed below. If the red light is still on please contact customer service.
