Air Wave

The floor vacuum cleaner Air Wave has a steplessly adjustable electronic output of max. 2300 W. It has a vario-filter system: 5-layer micro-fleece filter with removal catch, micro main filters, HEPA-filter, micro waste air filter, electrical filter change display, dust chamber lid lock.

The odour-free vacuum cleaner Air Wave stands out thanks to its Fakir FRESH WAVE SYSTEM which attracts even the must pungent of smells and retains them permanently in special little balls. The essential oils inside these balls are a natural product and not only ensure that the system is completely safe for humans, pets and the environment but also for perfect odour neutralisation.

FRESH WAVE SYSTEM

A fleece bag into which special balls are sown is inserted into the filter cassette. These contain concentrated extracts of essential oils with top quality extracts from plants such as limes, pine needles, carnations and soya. The unique method means that the odour particles are not simply masked, they are actually withdrawn from the atmosphere, permanently bound into the balls and converted into completely odour-free gases. The natural oils that are used make FRESH WAVE SYSTEM completely biodegradable and therefore environmentally friendly, and are also more durable as they last for 4 - 8 weeks per bag.

Allergica

The Fakir Allergica is a vacuum cleaner with a complex 4-step concept that was specially developed for allergy-sufferers: A 5-layer Allergo® micro-fleece filter in HEPA H10 quality with a dustproof removal catch, a large micro main filter, a high-performance particulate matter (HEPA) / active carbon filter and a micro waste air filter all interact to the optimum to work in conjunction with the dustproof housing to ensure a total filter output of 99,999 %.

Allergo®-filter: The HEPA-filter technology retains microscopically small particles including pollen, mites and fine dust particles larger than 0.0001 mm. Thanks to the special 5-layer material structure, full suction power is guaranteed. The Allergica has a steplessly adjustable electronic output of max. 1900 Watt. This allows allergy sufferers to clean more efficiently with less swirling dust than is possible at higher watt figures.

S 200 und S 250

Thanks to an all-round brush head, no dust is swirled at the sides. The Wellness turbo mattress brush ensures thorough cleaning of the bed for a relaxing sleep with no allergy symptoms. The dustproof vacuum cleaner housing satisfies the dust protection requirements as specified in DIN EN 60312.

The floor vacuum cleaners of the S-class serve to vacuum clean large carpeted areas, hard flooring, laminate, upholstery and to remove fluff and animal hairs. They stand out thanks to their great motor suction power of 2300 W with a steplessly adjustable electronic control. The S 200 has a slide control for adjusting the output. The S 250 has a plus/minus touch key instead and an output display with LEDs.

Both appliances stand out thanks to the fact that they operates very quietly due to special sound insulation. Optimised air channels ensure that the filters can be used for longer. In the Vario-filter system you can choose from a number of different filters to create the filter system you require:

1. Active carbon odour filter to minimise odours.
2. HEPA/Activated carbon combined filter, a combination of an odour and HEPA-filter, the latter not only retains household dust but also pollen and other microscopically small particles.

The individual filters can be exchanged with each other at any time.

The filter system

7 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

3 4

The Fakir Vario filter system allows you to adapt the quality of the dust filtration to your needs. Your floor vacuum cleaner will only achieve the excellent filter effect so important for allergy sufferers when all filters are used. Pollen, mites and fine dust are almost completely filtered off from a size of 0.1 m. The filter effect is so good that the waste air produced by the appliance contains less dust than the air in the room.

The air is cleaned as follows:

1 The air with the dirt particles is suctioned up via a suction hose. Inside the bag the dirt is retained in a multi-layered fleece filter.

2 The Allergica model has a 5-layer Allergo® micro fleece filter in HEPA-H10 quality with a dustproof removal catch.

3 The micro main filter serves as the pre-filter and as a protection element for the following filter part.

4 TheHEPA/Activated carbon combined filter serves as an active odour filter that uses the active carbon to bind the odours from the dust and dirt. In addition, it is also a particle matter HEPA*-filter that completely filters almost all fine particles.

The HEPA*-filter is a pure particle matter filter, that completely filters almost all fine particles.

5 The air is suctioned via the motor. As all particle matter has already been filtered off, no dust deposits can collect here.

6 The micro waste air filter only filters the dust-like wear from the carbon brushes of the motor.

7 Clean air is sent into the room via the waste air slits

Vacuum cleaning

Before using the appliance, check that all the filters and the bag have been correctly inserted and that they are not damaged. The excellent filter quality is only achieved when the filters are intact and correctly inserted.

WARNING!

Check the appliance and the power cable before use. A damaged appliance may cause injury and may not be used.

1 2 4 5 S230 portable S230+

NOTE!

The filter change display will shine when the bag or filter is full or when the accessories are blocked (hose, tube, nozzle).

In this case, change the bag or the clogged filter (see page 14) or remove the blockage.

When using the turbo-mattress brush or the crack nozzle, it is possible that the filter change display lights up before the bag or filter are full.

This is a technical feature and does not indicate that the function is impaired.

The suction power can be regulated with the suction control. Use this control (slide) for short-term reductions of the suction power.

For normal vacuum cleaning, you should keep this closed. Use the suction power control for permanent reduction of the suction power. This will allow you to save energy.

Work breaks
