What’s in the box

What to expect
Your new Instant™ Air Purifier features an Advanced 3-in-1 filtration system and plasma ion technology working together to treat air in a room area. Treated Air means the air that is cycled through the Instant™ Air Purifier. Welcome to cleaner air in minutes!

Advanced 3-in-1 Filtration System

• Consists of:
  • HEPA-13 filter, that captures 99.9% of dust, dander, pollen, allergens and other ultrafine impurities in the air.
  • Carbon layer in filter helps reduce odours.
  • Antimicrobial coating prevents bacterial growth on the filter and protects it against degradation.

Plasma Ion Technology
Projects positive and negative ions.

Cleaner Air in Minutes
Operating at AHAM-verified clean air delivery rate (CADR)., AHAM is Association of Household Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). AHAM delivery rate based on filtering pollen, tobacco smoke and dust. It does not relate to viruses or bacteria.

Automatic Operation
Intelligent Sensors monitor air quality and adjust fan speed automatically to work 24/7. Sensors have a margin of error of +/- 20 micrograms per cubic metre in detecting changes in air quality.

Using your air purifier

Turn on the unit

• If the unit is unplugged, plug the electrical cord into an electrical outlet.
• If the unit is plugged in but turned off, press the Power button until the display turns on.

Turn off the unit

• To stop the unit from operating, press the Power button, and the unit will turn off.

Automatic operation
There are 3 modes of operation: (1) Fan auto mode; (2) Night mode and (3) Eco mode. Our product software uses sensors to intelligently control the Instant Air Purifier. One sensor constantly monitors and reports air quality. Another sensor monitors ambient light.

Auto Mode
Fan auto mode adjusts fan speed up or down according to detected air quality.

• When sensor detects air quality is good (white), Instant Air Purifier turns fan to low with plasma ion technology on.
• When sensor detects air quality fair (yellow), Instant Air Purifier turns fan to medium with plasma ion technology on.
• When sensor detects air quality poor (red), Instant Air Purifier turns fan to high with plasma ion technology on.

Economy or Eco Mode
If air quality is detected as good for 30 minutes, the Instant Air Purifier enters Economy or Eco Mode, meaning that the fan cycles on and off every 10 minutes. When fan is on, it is measuring air quality. Eco Mode allows 50% energy reduction. (Energy Star certified).

• If sensor detects air quality is good (white), Instant Air Purifier remains in eco mode with plasma ion technology on.
• If sensor detects air quality is fair or poor, Instant Air Purifier exits eco mode and returns to Auto Mode.

Night Mode
Night Mode senses room lighting, turning light off and turns fan speed to low. You may set custom light level, providing for dimmed light level. If Night Mode is chosen, plasma ion technology is turned off for quietest operation. Efficacy in removing viruses and bacteria is reduced.

• During Night mode, touch the LIGHT button to turn on the display
  Room Light| Display
  ---|---
  Dark| Turns display off
  Light| Lights display

Fan speed
If you press FAN ICON, you can manually control fan level: low, medium or high.

•  The lowest fan speed operates at whisper-quiet level, less than 24 decibels.
• To return to Auto operation, touch the Auto button.

Light level
If you press the LIGHT ICON button, you can manually control light level at 0%; 20%; 60% and 100%. The light levels are pre-set at these levels:

• You change the current light level manually.
  • Press the LIGHT ICON button to cycle through the brightness levels: 0%, 20%, 60% and 100%. The next time the unit switches to either Day or Night, the light level will change back to the pre-set level.
• You can customize the pre-set for Day or Night light levels.
  • First, set the light level manually. Then press and hold the LIGHT ICON button for 3 seconds to save the current setting as the Day or Night light level.

Air quality
As it constantly monitors the air in the room, your air purifier shows your air quality in two ways:

Air quality indicator
A sensor monitors the concentration of the mass of particulates in the air. (ug per cubic metre). Also, known as PM2.5 sensor.

• If you press the INFO Button on a AP200 or AP300 model, you can switch between the air quality measurement (ug per cubic metre) or the % of good air quality based on the US air quality index.
  Indicator| Air Quality Measurement
  ---|---
  White| Good at <35 ug per cubic metre
  Yellow| Fair at 35-55 ug per cubic metre
  Red| Poor >55 ug per cubic metre
• AP 100 models Color Indicator: white, yellow, red.
• AP 200 models Color Indicator and % of the cleaner air measured (based on particulates detected by the Sensor, which is translated to a % of good air quality as defined above).
• AP 300 models Color Indicator and % of the cleaner air measured (based on particulates detected by the Sensor, which is translated to a % of good air quality as defined above).

Air quality light
Coloured light (under the control panel) to give you an at-a-glance reading of your air quality.

Plasma ion
In Auto operation, your air purifier uses plasma ion technology. Although it sounds high tech (and it is) it’s safe and natural. Plasma ion operation is automatically turned off during Night Mode.

• If you press ION button, you can manually turn plasma ion technology on or off.

Replace filter indicator
Filters expected to last 6-8 months. When it is time to change the filter, an orange ring will flash around the FILTER ICON.

• After filter is changed, press and hold FILTER ICON for 3 seconds to reset.
