USER MANUAL HR4345 PHILIPS

English Page 4

Français Page 10

Cigarettes, cigars and pipes produce a smoke which contains microscopic particles (approx. 0.18 micron) and around 3000 different gases.

Your Philips Air Cleaner helps you clean the air effectively by catching 90% of gases and 95% of particles produced by smoking.

How does the Philips Air Cleaner work?

The Air Cleaner takes air from the room and directs it through the filter system.

After cleaning, the purified air is blown back into the room towards the ceiling.

For optimum removal of gases and particles from the air, the appliance employs a sophisticated 3-stage Air Cleaner filter:

① Pre-filter

The Pre-filter catches the larger dust particles floating in the air, such as fluff and hairs.

② Hepa filter

This filter takes out all the smaller airborne particles.

The filter is made from glass fibres closely matted such that particles cannot pass through.

Similar filters are used in most hospital operating rooms.

③ Carbon filter

The last filter is the Carbon filter.

Activated Carbon is the only material which can effectively adsorb gases.

This Air Cleaner can be set to automatically select the correct speed of air cleaning.

The appliance is equipped with a 24-hour clock and a timer which make it possible to select a timespan after which the appliance will switch off.

An indicator light will light up when the Carbon filters need replacement.

Positioning

- In general, it is advisable to place the Air Cleaner - close to where people are smoking to prevent smoke dispersion; - in a central position, with its back against the wall and above head level (fig. 1 - 2).

• The Air Cleaner can also be wall-mounted (fig. 3 - 4). Select a position similar to fig. 1 - 2.
• It is also possible to place more than one Air Cleaner in the same room. This is especially advisable if the room is very large and/or has an irregular shape. In such a case it is best to place the appliances as far apart as possible but against the same wall.
• Never obstruct the air inlet or outlet openings (fig. 5).
• When using heating appliances: place the Air Cleaner so that the air stream it generates coincides with the convection air stream produced by the heater. This means: Position the Air Cleaner next to the radiator or other source of heating (fig. 6 - 7).

Is one Air Cleaner sufficient?

To purify effectively the air in a domestic room or an area of a room, all the air must pass the Air Cleaner filters 2 - 3 times per hour.

Depending on the air contents of the room or area concerned one Air Cleaner type HR 4345 should be used for rooms / areas up to approx. 40 m² floor surface.
