HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS

An air purifier draws in room air from its air inlet, lets the air pass through the filter that consists of a pre-filter and HEPA filter inside of the unit, then releases clean purified air from its air outlet. The air purifier repeats this process by moving its internal fan. As air passes through the HEPA filter, it removes airborne particles such as smoke, dust, pollen, and other potentially harmful particles which could cause allergies, asthma and hay fever.

Choosing a Location

To maximize air circulation, position the air purifier at least 50cm away from walls, or any other large objects that could disrupt the airflow. For optimum results close all windows and doors. For more efficient air treatment, place the unit in a central location and make sure the control panel can easily be accessed.
