2. Cold Evaporation Filter (CEF)
3. Cold Evaporation Filter Lid (CEF Lid)
4. Top Cover
5. Salt Bottle with 1 Gram Scoop
6. Power Cord
7. Pre-Filter

How It Works

The Aaira + Humidifier has a two-stage cleaning system to disinfect the air. A fan draws air in through the pre-filter at the bottom of the purifier. Inside, the air passes through the Cold Evaporation Filter and exits through the top cover. The two stages to the sterilizer are:

1. STAGE 1: Pre-filter.
   The pre-filter has a screen that captures large airborne particles.

2. STAGE 2: Cold Evaporation Filter (CEF).
   The CEF absorbs the HOCl water generated in the water tank. The HOCl water is evaporated as air passes through the CEF. This disperses the HOCl molecules throughout the airspace in the room allowing it to destroy a variety of bacteria and viruses.

Unpacking and Setup

1. Remove the air purifier from the box and check that all the items are included. It is a good idea to keep the packaging for storage or in the event it must be shipped back for service.
2. Remove the top cover and make sure the CEF and CEF lid are securely in place.
3. Place the Aaira + Humidifier on a flat, solid surface in proximity to an AC electrical outlet.
4. Connect the power cord to the Sterilizer, 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.

Getting Started

1. Make sure the Cold Evaporation Filter (CEF) is secure and the CEF lid is locked in place.
2. Fill salt bottle with non-iodized salt and place 3 scoops (3 grams) on top sides of the lid. Skip this step for humidification only.
3. Close the top cover.
4. Fill water to MAX line, washing all salt off the CEF lid.
5. Press the power button to turn on and select fan and sterilize function.
