PROPERTIES OF YOUR AIR PURIFIER

Your Air Purifier AG+ AirProtect Portable can provide a healthy atmosphere and filters the air you breathe through a fourfold filter, removing allergens, airborne viruses and aerosols and inactivating Covid-19 in your vehicle or at your desk. The appliance may be used in dry environments with low load of dust and medium humidity, such as living rooms and recreation rooms and the interior of vehicles.

Mobile air purifiers are a supportive measure to reduce aerosols in the room air.

They do not replace the rules (keep your distance, hygiene measures and everyday mask) and ventilation.

WARNING – For avoiding any risk of overheating and fire, ensure to use an appropriate power supply. Only use the designated USB cable for connecting the appliance to the power supply.

• The appliance may be driven via a power supply providing 5 V DC, 1A. This may be a power port of your car, an USB charger, or a power bank.

• The appliance is designed for rooms up to 7 m ^2 and equipped with a highly efficient filter, removing even very small particles. Depending on the pollution of the air and frequency of usage, the filter may be used for 3 - 6 months. However, if the pollution of the air is high, the intervals for replacement should be shorter.

• The silver ion coating of the filter destroys micro-organisms (bacteria, spores of mould, viruses).

• The appliance starts operation in automatic mode immediately, when it is connected to the power supply, adjusting its operation automatically to the current air quality, thus avoiding any setup.
• The fan can be operated in 3 speed levels for adapting the appliance to the requirements of the environment. Automatic mode operation and manual setting of the fan speed are enabled.
• All functions of the appliance are controlled via a single sensor button. A multi-colour LED indicates the air quality.
