Frequently Asked Questions - AFG 100 Kärcher

How to install the base and filter cartridge of the AFG 100?

Take out the air purifier, the base, the screw and the hex key. Insert the screw into the base, then screw the base onto the support tube with the key. Place the device on the base. Remove the filter cartridge from the device, remove the protective film and transport locks, then insert it by aligning the three lugs into the recesses. Properly snap the control unit into place.

How to turn on the device and start the fan?

Plug in the power cord, then press the On/Off button. The device starts with the last setting. To start the fan, press the fan button twice (if off). The fan resumes at the last level. To turn it off, press the same button twice.

How to adjust the fan speed?

Press the fan button, then use the + and - buttons to adjust the level from 1 to 5. Automatic mode (AU) adjusts the speed to the air quality measured by the VOC sensor. To switch to auto mode, press + until AU is displayed.

How to use automatic mode?

Product description

Whether in living spaces, at the workplace, in conference rooms or waiting rooms, the air in our rooms is contaminated with dust and especially with fine dusts that are harmful to health. We are also subjected to heavy pollution from biological and chemical contaminants. This can be caused by construction deficiencies, materials, paint, wood preservatives and so-called volatile organic substances. We want to feel good and full of energy. We want clean air without harmful contaminants, without VOC pollution, unpleasant odours, with less chance of infection through bacteria and viruses, less smell irritation and fewer allergens in children's rooms.

The KARCHER AFG 100 reliably removes fine dusts, allergens, bacteria, odours and VOC from your room air.

Lighting and colour selection

The colour and brightness of the LED ring can be adjusted as desired to provide a pleasing ambience. 10 colours and automatic colour changing can be selected. The colours can be individually adjusted by the user. The automatic colour change cycles gently through all colours.

10 brightness levels are available.

3-stage filter cartridge (PP)

The 3-stage filter cartridge consists of a catalyser filter, an active carbon filter, and an EPA filter. The filter material is polypropylene (PP). The EPA filter E11 ensures that fine dust, allergens, pollen, and dust particles down to a size of 0.3 μm are filtered out of the air.

Plasma electrode

The patented plasma technology catalyses the air to eliminate the smallest gaseous organic carbon compounds, such as odour molecules, viruses, bacteria, and spores in an environmentally-friendly manner. Further decomposition reactions occur in the 3-stage filter. The plasma regenerates the 3-stage filter to provide a very long service life for the 3-stage filter.

VOC sensor

The VOC sensor is a special sensor that automatically measures the degree of contamination in the air.

Fan

The fan can be adjusted over 5 levels or can also be operated in the automatic mode "AU". The automatic mode adjusts the fan level according to the degree of contamination measured by the sensor.

Timer

From 1 to 99 hours can be selected. The device switches off after the configured period of time. Ideal for air purification after leaving the home or office.

Pre-filter

The pre-filter of filter class F7 removes all contaminants, fine dusts, and pollen larger than 3 μm from the intake air and protects the downstream filter. This ensures long-term functionality. The filter material is polypropylene.

Service display and filter replacement

The service LED on the control unit lights up when servicing is required. The service LED flashes when the pre-filter needs to be replaced.

Explanation of terms

VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) are harmful vapours emitted by products surrounding us indoors in the office or at home.

Examples of VOC sources include aerosol sprays, cleaning agents, disinfectants, furniture, carpets, hobby accessories such as varnish and glue, building materials, paint, solvents, nail polish, pesticides, and even air fresheners.

Product description

In our homes and workplaces, in our living spaces and offices, the air in our rooms is polluted with dust, especially with dust that is harmful to health. At the same time, we are increasingly exposed to biological and chemical harmful substances. These can be present in construction, materials, paints, wood protection agents, and so-called volatile organic compounds. We want to feel good and maintain our performance. We want clean air without harmful dust, without exposure to VOCs, unpleasant odors, fewer infections from bacteria and viruses, fewer unpleasant odors, and fewer allergies in the children's room. KARCHER AFG 100 reliably cleans the air in your room from harmful dust, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and VOCs.

Light selection of color

For a pleasant atmosphere, the light brightness and color can be adjusted according to your wishes.

10 colors can be selected, as well as automatic light change. The colors can be adjusted individually by the user. In automatic light change, all colors are presented with a smooth transition from one to another. The modes are 10 levels of brightness.

3-stage filter cartridge (PP)

The 3-stage filter cartridge consists of a catalyst filter, an activated carbon filter, and a HEPA filter. The filter material is polypropylene (PP). The HEPA filter ensures filtration of harmful dust, allergens, pollen, and dust particles with a size up to 0.3 μm.

Electro plasma

The replacement filter is a technology for environmentally friendly removal of dust, gases, organic and volatile compounds, such as aroma molecules, viruses, bacteria, and other particles. The 3-stage filter provides the following reactions to various substances. The replacement filter elements regenerate for the 3-stage filter, which also ensures a long service life of the 3-stage filter.

VOC sensor

The VOC sensor is a specialized sensor that automatically measures the level of air pollution.

Fan

The fan can be adjusted to 5 levels, or it can operate in automatic mode "AUTO". The automatic mode adapts the fan level to the pollution level detected by the sensor.

Timer

You can select 1-99 hours. The device turns off after the set desired time has elapsed. Ideal for airing after cooking or painting.

Pre-filter

The pre-filter is class F7 and captures all pollutants, dust, and particles larger than 3 µm from the intake air and stops the subsequent filters. In this way, long-term

functionality is guaranteed. The filter material is polypropylene.

Service indicator and filter replacement

The service light indicates when maintenance is required. The service light is on when the pre-filter needs to be replaced.
