Setup and connection

• The air purifier should be installed on a level, horizontal, stable, sufficiently large surface. The installation place should be large enough to accommodate the air purifier and withhold its weight. Peel a protective film (if any) off the control panel.
• Insert the mains plug into a mains socket. You will then hear a faint beep, after which all LEDs on the control panel will light up briefly and then go off.
• The air purifier is now in standby mode and ready for use.

Switching on and off

• To turn the air purifier on or off, briefly press the on/off button . You will then hear a confirmation beep.
• When turned on for the first time, the device works at fan speed I, and the LED indicator “I” lights up.
  • The air purifier saves the most recent settings. The air purifier starts work with the settings that applied before it was turned off.
• Since the UV-C light is always disabled for safety reasons when turning on the air purifier, use the corresponding button to switch it on (see section 7. g).
• The colour of the LED ring behind the control panel (which is visible through the air outlets) indicates the air quality. The particle sensor is located behind the sensor opening (3), as shown in section 6.

If the LED indicator lights up orange or red, we recommend that you ventilate the room.

Changing fan speed

• Turn on the air purifier.
• Briefly press the button several times to change the fan speed (you can choose between 3 different speeds). You will then hear a confirmation beep.
• The fan speed is indicated by the corresponding LED indicator I, II or III.

Automatic mode

• Turn on the air purifier.
• The button turns the automatic mode on or off. You will hear a confirmation beep.
• In automatic mode, the particle sensor monitors the indoor air and adjusts the fan speed automatically.
  • Behind the control panel, you can see the LED ring (which is visible through the air outlets). Its colour indicates the air quality.

If the LED ring lights up orange or red, we recommend that you ventilate the room.

Sleep mode

• Turn on the air purifier.
• The button turns the sleep mode on or off.
  • With the sleep mode enabled, the fan runs quietly at the lowest speed and the LEDs are dimmed.

Timer mode

• Turn on the air purifier.

  • When the timer is enabled, the button and the selected timer setting are white backlit. When the timer is disabled, the LEDs are off.
  • The timer restarts when you change the timer setting.
• Once the set time has elapsed, the air purifier turns off automatically.

Turning UV-C light on/off

The air purifier has a built-in UV-C emitter that disinfects the air passing through it. The UV-C light inactivates viruses, bacteria, and germs. Exposure to dangerous UV-C radiation is ruled out since disinfection takes place within the housing.

• Turn on the air purifier and select the desired mode (automatic, sleep or timer mode).
• The button turns the UV-C light on or off.
  • When the UV-C light is activated, the control button is red backlit.
• Avoid turning the UV-C light on and off multiple times in quick succession. This can shorten the service life of the device.

Operation without a particle sensor
The particle sensor is always active in all modes and uses the LED ring to indicate the air quality (the corresponding colour codes can be found in table in section 7. b). The device can be operated without the particle sensor as follows:

• Turn on the air purifier.
• Select the fan speed or set the timer if necessary. You can also activate the UV-C light.
• Use the button to turn the particle sensor on or off.
  • When the particle sensor is disabled, the button backlight and the LED ring indicate the air quality go off.

Filter cleaning/replacement LED indicator

An LED indicator (12) can be found above the on/off button. When this LED indicator lights up, always check the filter for soiling and clean or replace it if necessary. Follow the instructions in section 8. b).

The indicator goes on after a certain time of operation based on the particle sensor data.
If the place of installation is exposed to low dust levels, dust will be barely visible on the filter. In this case, the filter requires no replacement and should instead be carefully cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or a clean, soft brush.

The operation time can also be reset manually:

• Turn on the air purifier.
• When the LED indicator (12) is off, keep the button pressed for about 3 seconds until it lights up. Release the button.
• Keeping the button pressed for about 3 seconds turns the LED indicator (12) off. The operation time is now reset.

• Ensure the product is turned off and disconnected from the mains supply (unplugged from the mains socket) before each maintenance or cleaning.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the outside of the device.
• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol, or other chemical solutions, as they can cause discoloration or erase button inscriptions.
• Use a vacuum cleaner and a long-haired, clean, soft brush to remove dust.

Warning: In the following sections, you will find information about the replacement and cleaning of the air filter and the replacement of the UV Committee. Maintenance or repair work may only be carried out by a specialist or technician of a specialized workshop.

Removing/installing the filter

Perform the following steps

1. Turn off the air purifier and unplug it from the mains socket.
2. Turn the air purifier upside down (by 180°) and place it on a soft surface, e.g. a blanket.
3. Turn the lid on the bottom of the air purifier slightly to the left (counter-clockwise) to unlock.
4. Take off the lid and pull out the filter.
5. Pay attention to the orientation (the filter faces the UV-C emitter with a deeper opening; on the outside, you can see two textile strips by which you can pull the filter out).
6. If the filter is only slightly soiled, you can clean it carefully with a vacuum cleaner and a clean, soft brush.
7. Make sure you remove any dust or hair from the air inlets of the air purifier. If the filter is heavily soiled, always replace it with a new one with the same rating.
8. Warning: Make sure you insert the filter correctly (a deeper opening in the filter should face the UV-C emitter; two textile strips for easy removal of the filter should face outside). Do not use force when inserting the filter! If you insert the filter incorrectly, the UV-C emitter will be permanently damaged!
9. Replace the lid on the air purifier again correctly and lock it in place by turning it to the right (clockwise) until it audibly clicks into place. The lid can only be replaced and locked in place correctly if the filter has been inserted correctly in the air purifier.
10. Turn the air purifier over again and place it correctly.
11. Insert the mains plug into a mains socket. You will then hear a faint beep, after which all LEDs on the control panel will light up briefly and then go off.
12. Turn on the air purifier by briefly pressing the on/off button . You will hear a confirmation beep.
13. With the LED indicator (12) on after filter change and powering on the air purifier, press and hold down the button for about 3 seconds until the LED indicator goes off. This is how you reset the internal counter for filter check (or filter replacement).
14. The air purifier is now ready for use.

Attention!

The air purifier has a safety switch. The UV-C emitter can only be enabled if the filter has been inserted correctly. The safety switch is operated via the filter ring. Never attempt to operate the safety switch with any other items, bypass it or otherwise hinder its function. Otherwise, this may result in uncontrolled UV-C radiation exposure. This, in turn, may cause damage to the eyes and skin!

Replacing the UV-C emitter

Perform the following steps

1. Turn off the air purifier and unplug it from the mains socket.
2. Turn the air purifier upside down (by 180°) and place it on a soft surface, e.g. a blanket. Turn the lid on the bottom of the air purifier slightly to the left (counter-clockwise) to unlock.
3. Take off the lid and pull out the filter. Pay attention to the orientation (the filter faces the UV-C emitter with a deeper opening; on the outside, you can see two textile strips by which you can pull the filter out). We recommend that you check the filter for soiling and clean it, if necessary, at the same time (see section 8. b.).
4. Let the faulty emitter cool down completely before replacing it. Make sure it is cool before touching it or pulling it out. Use heat-resistant gloves or cloth if necessary.
5. Remove the UV-C emitter and replace it with one of identical rating (same type, same configuration, same electrical and optical data). Do not use force when replacing the emitter. Never touch the emitter with bare hands. You can use e.g. a clean cloth. Fingerprints or soiling left on the emitter glass can cause glass turbidity under the action of heat, thus reducing the strength of UV-C radiation and its disinfection capacity.

Attention: Never use any other emitter, for example, the one with a higher capacity. This can damage the air purifier and cause hazardous UV-C radiation exposure.

1. Insert the filter. Make sure you insert the filter correctly (a deeper opening in the filter should face the UV-C emitter; two textile strips for easy removal of the filter should face outside). Do not use force when inserting! If you insert the filter incorrectly, the UV-C emitter will be permanently damaged!
2. Replace the lid on the air purifier correctly and lock it in place by turning it to the right (clockwise) until it audibly clicks into place. The lid can only be replaced and locked in place correctly if the filter has been inserted correctly.
3. Turn the air purifier over again and place it correctly.
4. Insert the mains plug into a mains socket. You will then hear a faint beep, after which all LEDs on the control panel will light up briefly and then go off.
5. The air purifier is now ready for use.
