DXAPV3N Air Purifier

WARNING:

Please read before use these instructions and keep them for future reference.

The DXAPV3 Dimplex Air Purifier has been designed to improve the quality of indoor air, reducing the presence of polluting agents such as dust, cigarette smoke, unpleasant odours, spores, bacteria, pollen, dust mite residues, pet dander etc.

Air passes through an active carbon filter which helps to eliminate dust and odours such as cigarette smoke. The air is then passed through a HEPA filter, able to retain 99.97% of polluting particles with a microscopic size of 0,3μm upwards; such as pollen, dust mites, mould spores and bacteria.

Air purification is assisted with the built-in Dimplex Viro ^3 Enviro-neutralising Technology.

Enviro-neutralising Technology

The Viro ^3 Enviro-neutralising Technology generates a balance of positive and negative ions from water vapour in the air. These ions cluster around harmful substances such as airborne mould, viruses and allergens, changing their chemical make-up and rendering them inactive and harmless to the human body. The negative ions produced by the Viro ^3 Enviro-neutralising Technology, are similar to those which can be found in uncontaminated areas of nature such as waterfalls, beaches and in the mountains. They enrich the air and naturally give a sensation of clean air, reducing psychophysical stress.

The DXAPV3N has two airflow speeds with a max air flow rate of 44m^3/H . It has a low power consumption of 25W and is suitable for environments of a size up to 55m^2 .
