2. GENERAL

2.1. General description

The OZONOS Aircleaner is designed for indoor spaces up to a maximum of 50 m^2 . After just a short period of use it improves the air in the room and removes things such as bacteria, germs, viruses, mould spores, pet and mite allergens, pollen, paint smells, pet odours, solvent, kitchen and cigarette odours. Odour neutralisation and air sterilisation by the OZONOS Aircleaner has the following advantages:

• Purely physical process
- No use of chemicals
- Ozone formation below naturally occurring concentrations
• Completely harmless to humans and animals
• No environmental pollution
- No formation of harmful by-products
- No use of filters
• No microbiological processes
- Low energy consumption with the highest operational safety
- Easy to maintain
- CE certificate
· TÜV certified (OZONOS AC-I)
• Produced in accordance with ISO 9001: 2015

2.2. Function

▶ Sterilisation using UV-C-radiation

Air is sterilised and cleaned within the OZONOS Aircleaner. Bacteria, viruses, germs, mould spores, yeasts and microorganisms are eliminated. The special wavelength of the UV-C radiation in the OZONOS Aircleaner has the same effect as natura solar radiation.

▶ Odour neutralisation using ozone

Inside the OZONOS Aircleaner the UV-C radiation turns some of the oxygen in the air into ozone. Ozone is able to oxidise organic substances in the air. This completely eliminates microorganisms, bacteria and odours in the ambient air.

5.1. Placement

Place the device on a firm surface approx. 2 metres above the floor (if possible on something such as a shelf or cabinet) to allow for optimal air circulation. Warm, stuff y air rises. For maximum effect the device should not be placed near an exhaust fan. Note that the minimum room size should be 55m^3 .

5.3. Treatment duration

The OZONOS Aircleaner is designed for long-term indoor use. The optimum use of the OZONOS Air-cleaner depends on the type of application, the type and degree of internal air contamination, and the room size. Depending on the level of contamination, two to four hours of treatment time is sufficient to remove odours in a 55 m ^3 / approx. 25 m ^2 room. We recommend uninterrupted use for people prone to allergic and asthmatic reactions.

The OZONOS AC-I PLUS and AC-I PRO are not designed for 24/7 use where people are always in the same room.
