HOW IT WORKS

The air purifier functions as an air cleaner by helping to disinfect airborne microorganisms and removing particulates from the air.
The centrifugal fans of the unit draw air through the front panel (Intake) on the front of the unit. Then it passes through the Pre-filter, the electronic cell, the activated carbon filter and the UV-Photo catalytic sterilization chamber. The purified air is then released through the outlet on the top of the unit.
The air is cleansed in six stages:

1. The Pre-filter traps large dust particles.
2. The two-stage electrostatic precipitator (Electronic cell) captures airborne particles, as small as 0.01 microns. In the ionizing section of the electronic cell, billions of microscopic particles become electrically charged as they pass through the powerful electric field. The collector plates immediately attract and collect these charged dust and dirt particles.
3. The activated carbon filter absorbs and reduces odors, chemicals and gases, removes tobacco smoke, the smell of food and other odors.
4. The UV sterilization chamber kills bacteria and viral microorganisms such as influenza, TB and Legionnaire’s Disease as well as other harmful contaminants.
5. When UV light hits the photo catalytic filter, it creates e- and h+, which have an excellent effect in the decomposition of odors.
6. The unit also generates negative ions that freshens the room air.

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

Features
Multi-Stage Filters
The unit utilizes a two-stage electrostatic precipitator (Electronic cell) combined with a Pre-filter (For large particles), an Activated carbon filter (For odors and gases), UV germicidal light (Killing airborne pathogen), a Photo catalytic filter (Removes VOC’s) and aNegative ion generator.
Automatic Function
The odor and particle sensor can let the unit automatically select the appropriate fan speed depending on the air quality detected.
Carbon Filter and UV Lamp Replacement Indicator Lights
The FILTER LIFE and UV LAMPS indicator lights tell you the time to replace the activated carbon filter and the UV lamps.
Safety Micro-Switch (Interlock switch)
This air purifier is equipped with a safety interlock switch (Micro-safety switch) that will turn the unit off if the front panel is removed while the unit is running.
Easy Maintenance and Low Cost
When the electronic cell needs to be washed or the filters need to be replaced, simply open the front panel and pull out the electronic cell or old filters and put the new or clean one in. No screws, hooks or tools are required. The electronic cell captures small particles on aluminum plates that are simply rinsed off in the sink. There are no expensive filters to replace.
Specifications

Standby Power
In order to operate the electrical circuits while the power plug is inserted in the wall outlet, this product consumes about 6W of standby power. For energy conservation, unplug the power cord when the unit is not in use.

Do not use detergents, detergent ingredients may damage the unit. Keep the unit away from water.
Cleaning the Pre-filter
To assure optimum performance the Pre-filter should be cleaned regularly-every one to two weeks. Washing frequency will vary depending on the number of family members, pets, activities (Such as cooking or woodworking) and smoking habits. Use the wash reminder schedule provided with the air purifier.

1. Stop the operation and unplug the unit.
2. Hold the front panel upper portion (Left and right side) and pull it toward you.
3. Pull the Pre-filter straight up and out of the front panel.
4. After using a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust, clean with water. If it is very dirty, use a soft brush or a neutral cleaner to clean then dry completely before placing it back into the unit.
5. Place the Pre-filter back into the front panel by sliding straight down into the slots.

Removing the Pre-filter

2. After cleaning the Pre-filter, it is very important to dry it completely before placing it back in the unit.
3. During maintenance, be careful not to tip over the unit. It may cause personal injury.

Be careful not to tip over the unit when moving it.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Electronic Cell
Remove the electronic cell

1. Stop the operation and unplug the unit.
2. Please waiting 10 seconds before opening the front panel.
3. After removing two cell clips, pull the cell out of the cabinet by using the two handles on the cell.

How to clean the electronic cell

1. To assure optimum performance the cell should be cleaned every one to two months.
2. Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub or trash container. Dissolve detergent in warm water to cover the cell. After the detergent has completely dissolved, place the cell in the container. Allow the cell to soak for 15~30 minutes and rinse with clean water. Tough residue such as tar from tobacco smoke may need longer soaking.
3. After cleaning, make sure to rinse detergent residue thoroughly out of the ceramic insulators of the cell. Dry the cell thoroughly with heat gun before reinstalling.

WARNING

1. DO NOT clean the cell with alcohol, gasoline, paint thinner or other flammable substances. It may cause fire!
2. DO NOT reinstall the cell until it is completely dry. If the CHECK UNIT light on the control panel flashes red, then the cell may still be wet.
3. Be sure there is no detergent residue around the cell ceramic insulators, especially around the square shape ceramic insulators.
4. Be careful not to snag or cut the ionizing wire. If the unit is operated with the ionizing wire cut, there will be no dust collection.
5. Slide in the cell so the airflow arrow points toward the machine.

Replacing the Activated Carbon Filter

Replacing the activated carbon filter

When the FILTER LIFE indicator light on the control panel flashes yellow, the activated carbon filter needs to be replaced.

1. Stop the operation and unplug the unit.
2. After waiting 10 seconds open the front panel by holding the upper portion and pull it toward to you.
3. Pull the cell by holding the handles toward you and out of the cabinet.
4. Place a new activated carbon filter into the unit by sliding it into the cabinet.

Note: After replacing the activated carbon filter, press the RESET button on the remote control 3 times or hold the POWER button on the control panel 3 seconds to reset the filter timer (See page E-17, E-20 of this manual).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
A. Remove plastic packaging from the activated carbon filter before operation (The activated carbon filter is located behind the electronic cell).
B. DO NOT clean the activated carbon filter with liquid, especially alcohol, gasoline, paint thinner, etc. It may cause fire!
C. DO NOT try to place the activated carbon filter in front of the cell! It may cause fire!
D. The SCREEN side of the activated carbon filter should face the cell.

Photo catalytic Filter and UV Lamp

1. Photo catalytic filter is permanent never needs replacing. When there is dust on it, clean the dust off using a vacuum cleaner dusting brush. Do not wash it in water.
2. When the UV LAMPS indicator light on the control panel flashes yellow, it is time to replace the UV lamps (UV-C germicidal lamps). After removing the UV light blocker, gently rotate the lamp a quarter turn in either direction until it unlocks from the socket. Pull the pins out of the socket, one end at a time.

Replacing UV lamps

CAUTION:
Germicidal Light Radiation Hazard!
Never look directly at UV lamps or place face directly on outlet grill. Direct exposure to germicidal light can cause temporary or chronic damage to your eyesight, or even blindness. Always unplug the unit before cleaning, servicing or replacing the UV lamps.
Note: After the replacement of activated carbon filter or UV lamps, be sure to press the RESET button on the remote control 3 times or hold the POWER button on the control panel 3 seconds to reset the timer.
Once the RESET button have been activated, you will hear a beep sound that means the unit has been reset and the FILTER LIFE, the UV LAMPS indicator lights will stop flashing.
