• PAP units are indicated for air purifi cation in commercial and clean sanitary environments. Do not use the unit in dusty environments as this would cause quickly saturation of the fi lters or damage the motor.

• Respect the following environmental conditions: − Model PAP-420 H14: Maximum temperature: 50ºC, Maximum relative humidity 80% − Model PAP-350 CA/VOC H14: Maximum temperature: 40ºC, Maximum relative humidity 60% 8.3. COMMISSIONING IMPORTANT! PAP units include very high effi ciency fi lters. To avoid that the fi lters Absolute H14, activated carbon and VOC (the last two only available in PAP 420 model), these fi lters are supplied in19

a plastic bags. Before switching on the unit, it is necessary to remove these bags and reas- semble the fi lters, making sure that the air direction matches the one indicated in the fi lter frame. To remove the fi lter bags, follow the next procedure:

• Make sure that the unit is not connected to the electrical network.

• Use protective gloves when handling the appliance.

• Using the wrench supplied with the appliance, loosen and remove the screws that hold the fi lter access cover (Fig. 1).

• Remove the cover (Fig. 2).

• Release the absolute fi lter by loosening the four existing rotary knobs (Fig.3-A). Remove the absolute fi lter, take it out of its bag and return it to its position. Perform the same ope- ration with activated carbon and VOC fi lters in case your unit incorporates them.

• Close the cover again, fi xing it with the corresponding screws. CA/VOC filter according to versionF7 pre-filterH14 filter

AIR AIR Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 When installing the new fi lters make sure that the air direction of the fi lter label matches with the airfl ow in the unit. Once the fi lters have been disbursed the unit is ready to be started up. Connect the power cable to the electrical supply and press the on/off switch. Then adjust the airfl ow according to the needs of the room (see next point).

9. AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENT

All models of the PAP range have a built-in potentiometer that allows the manual adjustment of the fan speed. The speed adjustment depends on various factors such as the room surface, height, the type of use and its occupation. Speed too low will cause the air quality in the room to be inadequate. While speed too high will cause fouling of premature fi lters. Below we show a series of tables with recommended speeds depending on the application and the dimensions of the room.20

FILTERS PAP purifi ers equip absolute fi lters with a fi ltration effi ciency of ≥99,995%. In order to enjoy the purifi er’s performance for a long time, it is essential to properly maintain the fi lters. Filter handling considerations The PAP-420 units have two fi ltration stages of F7 + H14. In the case of PAP-350 units, they have a third specifi c stage for the elimination of odors, gases and VOC (depending on version). Depending on the environment in which PAP purifi cator was used, the dirty fi lters could con- tain a large number of particles and polluting substances and / or toxic. In the case of odor, gas and VOC fi lters, the adsorbent material contained in the fi lters has a high adsorption capacity for contaminating gases, while HEPA H14 fi lters have a very high effi ciency for the retention of viruses and bacteria. When perform the manipulation of used fi lters, follow these recommendations:

• Protect yourself with a FFP-2 or FFP-3 mask and wear disposable gloves during the ma- nipulation of the fi lter.

• Minimize contact time with fi lters.

• Once removed, deposit the fi lters in hermetic plastic bags and contact a professional with a Waste Manager qualifi cation to treat the fi lters according to the procedures established in your community. Cleaning and replacing of fi lters F7 pre-fi lter It has the function of retaining the largest particles and at the same time protecting the rest of the fi lters, extending their useful life. A visual check of the F7 fi lter should be carried out periodically. Cleaning of the pre-fi lter should be done gently to avoid damaging the fi lter material. With the help of a dry or slightly damp cloth (never wet), remove the particles accumulated on the fi lter surface, lint, dust accumulation and larger particles. Do not blow with compressed air neither use vacuum cleaners, as in both cases the fi lter element could be damaged, considerably reducing the effi ciency of the fi lter. H14 absolute fi lter and odor, gas and VOC fi lters These fi lters do not need maintenance. Once the fi lters have been clogged, they must be replaced. The maintenance frequencies of the fi lters will depend on several factors such as the hours of use, airfl ow of regulation, as well as the degree of cleanliness of the environment. Due to this factor dependence, it is not possible to establish exact maintenance frequencies. As a guide, the following guidelines can be followed:

• Visual check / pre-fi lter cleaning: Every 2 months.

• Pre-fi lter replacement: Between 6 months and 1 year depending on use.23

• CA / VOC fi lter replacement: Between 6 months and 1 year depending on use.

• H14 Absolute fi lter: Between 1 year and 2 years depending on use. Process for the fi lter disassembly Access to fi lters is done from the top of the appliance. To access these, follow the next pro- cedure:

• Make sure the unit is not connected to the network.

• Wear protective gloves in the manipulation of the appliance.

• Using the wrench supplied with the appliance, loosen and remove the screws that hold the fi lter access cover (Fig. 1).

• Remove the cover (Fig. 2)

• The F7 pre-fi lter is mounted on a metal rail. To remove it, simply pull the fi lter out making it slide along its guide.

• The H14 absolute fi lter is fi xed by clamping system using rotating handles (Fig. 3(A)). To remove the fi lter, it is necessary to loosen the handles until the fi lter is released.

• The PAP-350 models also have a specifi c fi lter for the retention of gases and odors (VOC/ CA). To remove this fi lter, just pull it up. CA/VOC filter according to version F7 pre-filter H14 filter

• It is recommended to check the status of the fan every 6 months.

• In case that dust or dirt accumulation is detected on the impeller surfaces, fi rst clean it with a damp cloth and then with some disinfectant product compatible with polyamide.25
