Product Overview

1. Main Body
2. 3-Stage H13 True HEPA Filter
3. HOCl Generator
4. Cold Evaporation Filter (CEF)
5. Salt Bottle with 1 Gram Scoop

How It Works

The Aaira + HEPA incorporates a 4-stage cleaning system to help clean the air. A fan forces air through the unit from bottom to top.

1. STAGE 1: Pre-filter.

2. STAGE 2: 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.

3. STAGE 4: Activated Carbon Filter.
   The activated carbon filter absorbs odors, gases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

4. STAGE 5: HOCl Generator System.
   Hypochlorous acid is generated inside the machine, and absorbed by the cold evaporation filter. The liquid is evaporated as air passes through the cold evaporation filter. This disperses the HOCl throughout the airspace in the room allowing it to destroy a variety of bacteria and viruses.

Unpacking and Setup

1. Remove the unit from the box and check that all the items shown on page 3 in the product overview are included. 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 H13 True HEPA filter sealed inside a protective plastic bag. Detach the bottom cover and remove the protective packing. Then remove the filter from the plastic bag, replace it inside the device and replace the bottom cover.
3. The unit is also shipped with protective packing above the HOCl generator assembly. Detach the top cover and remove the protective packing. Then replace the top cover.
4. Locate the unit on a flat, solid surface in proximity to an AC electrical outlet.
5. 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.
6. Plug in the unit.

Quick Start

1. Take off bottom cover, remove H13 true HEPA filter from plastic bag, and install in device. Replace the bottom cover.
2. Remove top cover to access the HOCl Generator.
3. Grasp the handle and turn the HOCl Generator to unlock it and remove it from the device.
4. Remove the CEF by unscrewing it from the generator.
5. Fill the generator with water to the MAX. water level (800ml/27.05oz.).
6. Add 1 scoop (1 gram) of non-iodized salt to the water.
7. Replace the CEF and screw it into the bottom of the HOCl Generator.
8. Wipe the exterior dry and place it back in the base. Using the handle, turn the HOCl generator and lock it in place. Replace top cover.
9. Connect the AC adapter to the device, plug into an outlet, and press the power button to turn on.

Sterilizer is starting to make noise and the air output is low.|

4-in-1 HEPA filter may be dirty or obstructed. Replace filter.

Air coming from Sterilizer has a bad odor.| HOCl generator is dirty or has contaminated water in it. Discard any water that is in the generator and thoroughly clean it, then refill with clean fresh water and non-iodized salt. NOTE: The first time you use the Sterilizer, you might perceive a plastic or paint smell. This is normal, but it should disappear quickly. If the smell persists or if you sense a burning smell, please disconnect the unit and contact Customer Assistance.
Air quality does not improve as the Sterilizer operates.| Windows or doors are open. Constant introduction of dirty air from outside the room can reduce the effectiveness of the Sterilizer. Close all exterior doors and windows.
Water added to Sterilizer but Water Level indicator still flashing.| Check that HOCl generator is properly seated in the Sterilizer. If it still does work after several trial with HOCl generator seated in place, pls contact Customer Assistance.
Salt Level indicator displayed even after salt has been added.| It takes some time to dissolve the salt and monitor the actual concentration. If it still does not work after some time, discard salt water solution and mix a new batch per the instruction

carefully.

Salt Level indicator flashing after salt has been added.| Make sure amount of salt added is correct. If necessary discard salt water solution and mix a new batch per the instruction carefully.
