6. Power Cord

How It Works

• The Sciaire Mini + HEPA incorporates a 5-stage cleaning system to help clean the air. A fan forces air through the unit from bottom to top.
• Stage 1: Plasma Generators in the air inlet. The plasma generators enlarge the diameter of particles and generates an electrostatic magnetic field, thus improving the downstream HEPA filter’s absorption rates.
• Stage 2: Pre-Filter. Captures large particulate matters including dust, pollen and hair.
• Stage 3 : H13 True HEPA Filter. The true High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter captures up to 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns in diameter.
• Stage 4: Activated Carbon Filter. The activated carbon filter traps odors, gases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Stage 5: Plasma Generators in the air outlet. The plasma generatorss generate positive ions and negative ions that are diffused into the air. These ions keep killing bacteria and viruses in the room. As the room is filled with negative oxygen ions, you will enjoy a fresh smell – like the forest after a rain shower. The ozone generated is well within US EPA safety limits and the optimum concentration (less than 0.05ppm).

Unpacking and Setup

1. Remove the unit from the box and check that all the items are included. It is a good idea to retain the packaging for storing the unit or in the event it must be shipped back for service.
2. The unit is shipped with the 3-in-1 HEPA filter sealed inside a protective plastic bag. Detach the bottom cover and remove the 3-in-1 HEPA filter from the plastic bag, then replace it inside the unit and replace the bottom cover.
3. Locate the unit on a flat, solid surface in proximity to an AC electrical outlet.
4. Connect the AC adapter to the unit, and route the power cord to the outlet, but do not plug it in yet. Make sure that the power cord is out of the way and does not pose a tripping hazard, and is out of reach of children and pets.
