What is the memory function?

The memory function automatically saves your previous settings (speed, timer, ionization) so that when you turn the purifier off and on again, it restarts with those same settings.

Can I use the air purifier in a bathroom?

No, do not use the air purifier in bathrooms or other rooms with high humidity, as it could cause damage or electric shock.

What does the ionizer do?

The ionizer emits negative ions that mimic natural environments like mountains or waterfalls, which can improve human metabolism and equilibrium, providing a sense of well-being.

How do I clean the air purifier?

Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use only a dry cloth to clean the exterior. Do not use solvents, gasoline, or any liquids, and never immerse the appliance in water.

Air purifier

HEPA filter

activated carbon filter

ionizer

Ionizer: The ionizer emits into the air a big quantity of negative ions that abound in natural ambients such as the mountains and near waterfalls or seasides: these negative ions influence positively the equilibrium of the human body, giving a sense of well being.

HEPA filter: it retains hairs from animals, pollens, spore and all the particles with a diameter above 0,3 micron.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Read carefully these instructions before using this appliance.

Before using the appliance check that the technical data declared on the nameplate conform to the voltage of the electrical supply network.

Place the appliance on a stable and flat surface. Keep at least 60 cm distance from curtains, furniture, walls and other surfaces which may be an obstacle to the air flow.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AIR PURIFIER

lonizer

This air purifier can produce negative ions. Negative ions abound in natural ambients such as forests, waterfalls, the mountains or the seaside.

Negative ions are useful in order to increase the metabolism and and the equilibrium of the human body.

This air purifier is quipped with a generator of negative ions that process a high quantity of negative ions.

Advanced filter system

One of the special features of this machine lies in the advanced four stages filtration system which comprises the pre-filter, the HEPA filter, the cold catalyst filter and the activated carbon filter, all included in a single piece, easy to substitute.

LCD display

Ionization function, ventilation and time of functioning can be shown on the screen in a very immediate way.

1. SETTING THE SPEED

When the appliance starts to run, the velocity of the fan is low and the signal of the low speed fan switches on the display.

If you need to purify the air urgently, press the button SPEED once or twice, then the velocity of the fan will turn to the medium velocity and then to the maximum and the signal of air speed will appear on top of the display.

2. TIMER SETTING

The minimum running of the timer is 1 hour. Press the TIMER once, the timer will increase one hour. The longest period that you can set automatically is 12 hours. After setting the timer it will reduce continually the time of running minute per minute. The appliance will switch off automatically when the timer displays the last minute.

3. IONIZATION FUNCTION

When you need that both the ionizer and the HEPA filter work, press the button ANION, the signal of negative ions will appear on the display.

4. REMOTE CONTROL

This appliance is equipped with a remote control besides the manual controls on the display.

5. MEMORY FUNCTION

The previous settings settings are registered automatically so that the way of running that has been settled previously will be repeated when the air purifier is restarted after switching it off with the button ON/OFF.

INSIDE STRUCTURE OF THE FILTER

Prefilter: it can effectively remove the dust particles and bacteria with a diameter above 20 m in the air, thus extending the life time of HEPA filter.

HEPA filter can effectively filter dust particles, pollens and bacteria with a diameter above 0.3 m, thus reaching the effect of air purification and maintain air fresh.

Cold catalyst filer: it can decompose the harmful gases in the air such as forlmaldehyde, carbon monoxide, ammonia, ethyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide and have the function of high efficiency antibiosis. It is effective under ambient temperature and requires no illumination.

Activated carbon filter can effectively eliminate the harmful substances in the air.

INSTALLATION OF THE FILTER
