E• 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 thesame room. This is especially advisable if the room is very large and/orhas an irregular shape. In such a case it is best to place the appliances as far apartas possible but against thesame wall.• Never obstruct the air inlet oroutlet openings (fig. 5).• When using heatingappliances: place the AirCleaner so that the air streamit generates coincides with theconvection air streamproduced by the heater. This means: Position the AirCleaner next to the radiator orother source of heating (fig. 6 - 7).Is one Air Cleaner sufficient?To purify effectively the air in a domestic room or an area of aroom, all the air must pass the Air Cleaner filters 2 - 3 times perhour.Depending on the air contents of the room or area concernedone Air Cleaner type HR 4345 should be used for rooms /areas up to approx. 40 m floor surface.Cigarettes, cigars and pipes produce a smoke which containsmicroscopic particles (approx. 0.18 micron) and around 3000different gases.Your Philips Air Cleaner helps you clean the air effectively bycatching 90% of gases and 95% of particles produced bysmoking.How does the Philips Air Cleaner work?The Air Cleaner takes air from the room and directs it throughthe filter system.After cleaning, the purified air is blown back into the roomtowards the ceiling.For optimum removal of gases and particles from the air, theappliance employs a sophisticated 3-stage Air Cleaner filter:❶ Pre-filterThe Pre-filter catches the larger dust particles floating in theair, such as fluff and hairs.❷ Hepa filterThis filter takes out all the smaller airborne particles.The filter is made from glass fibres closely matted such thatparticles cannot pass through. Similar filters are used in most hospital operating rooms.❸ Carbon filterThe last filter is the Carbon filter. Activated Carbon is the only material which can effectivelyadsorb gases.This Air Cleaner can be set to automatically select the correctspeed of air cleaning.The appliance is equipped with a 24-hour clock and a timerwhich make it possible to select a timespan after which theappliance will switch off.An indicator light will light up when the Carbon filters needreplacement.Positioning• In general, it is advisable to place the Air Cleaner- close to where people are smoking to prevent smokedispersion;- in a central position, with its back against the wall andabove head level (fig. 1 - 2).

7Making ready for use - Fill the carbon filters with the granules provided. Please refer to section “Replacing the carbon filter granules” (fig. 43-51). - Insert the mains plug into a wall socket . The indicator light above the on/off button, the digits (00:00) and the clock symbol a start flashing. (This will also happen after a power failure

The display is not illuminated. - Press the on/off switch (fig. 10). The appliance starts operating at speed 1 and the display lights up orange. The indicator light above the on/off button remains on to indicate that the appliance is switched to the “on” position. Manual setting - Switch the appliance on (fig. 11) The indicator light above the on/off button comes on and the display lights up orange. The appliance starts operating at speed 1. - Select speed 1, 2 or “Turbo” by pressing the speed selector (fig. 12). The indicator lights will indicate the selected speed.

• For quick air cleaning, first set the speed selector to the “Turbo” setting (fig. 13). After approximately half an hour, set the switch to speed 2.

• To maintain clean, fresh air in your room all the time, you can run your machine continuously on speed 1 or 2, depending on room size and the degree to which the air tends to contaminate. “Auto function” The “Auto” function ensures that the Air Cleaner automatically selects the optimum speed to remove smoke from the air effectively. The built-in smoke sensor (R) detects the concentration of smoke in the room where the Air Cleaner has been placed. - For proper sensoring, set the slide switch (S) to the correct position for small (

) room (fig. 14). According to the concentration of smoke the Air Cleaner automatically selects a higher or a lower speed.

(The indicator light goes out.) - Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. - Wait for the motor to cool down (approx. 15 minutes). - Remove the front cover (fig. 55). Check that the filters are not blocked and that nothing is obstructing the airflow. - Check that the fan can rotate freely if moved by hand (fig. 56). - Close the appliance. Put the mains plug back into the wall socket and switch on. If the automatic overheating device is activated repeatedly, it is advisable to take the appliance to your dealer for technical inspection. For U.K. only: Fitting a different plug This appliance is fitted with a BS 1363 13 Amp. plug. Should you need to replace the plug, connect the wires as follows: Brown wire to the Live (L) terminal of the new plug. Blue wire to the Neutral (N) terminal of the new plug. Always fit the same value of fuse as that originally supplied with your appliance. Only use BS 1362 approved fuses. As a guide only: Appliances under 700 W can have a 3 Amp. fuse (red) and all others should have a 13 Amp. fuse (brown). When disposing of an old plug (particularly the moulded type which has been cut from the mains cord) always remove the
