  • The negative ion generator has a total capacity of > 3.000.000 negative ions / cm² that are spread through out the entire room and thereby neutralize pollutants and smells.
  • Negative ions attach onto dust particles, microorganisms and other unwanted particles in the air and connect them to each other. This way, the particles become heavier than air and fall onto the ground so that you can no longer breathe them in.

Water can be automatically plumbed in or drained into a sink, a larger recipient or through the wall into an outside drain by attaching a pipe to the unit. Remove the rubber bung on the rear of the unit and insert the pipe into the drain outlet at the back of the unit. Make sure the con-nection between pipe and the drain outlet is tight and does not leak. Then direct the pipe to a suitable drainage point. This unit uses gravity to dispose of water hence the drain should be lower than the water outlet on the unit. Put the tank back. Be sure to run the water pipe down-ward and let the water to flow out smoothly. Do not kink or bend the pipe.

Replacing the Clean Air Optima® True HEPA H13 Filter and Activated  Carbon Filter

• The Clean Air Optima® CA-702 Smart Dehumidifier & Air Purifier is equipped with a filter lifespan surveillance mechanism that signals that the filters have to be replaced after 400 working hours.

Maintenance

Cleaning the housing of the Clean Air Optima® dehumidifier

1. Switch off the device and pull the plug.
2. Use a soft and humid piece of cloth to clean the device. Do not use chemical solvent such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
3. Make sure that no water gets into the device, do not sprinkle with water.

Replacing of filters

• Depending on the use, the Activated Carbon Filter and True HEPA H13 Filter has a lifespan of approx. 3 – 6 months. The Pre-filter and UV-C lamp are permanent, no replacement needed.
• Take out the filters from the filter frame compartment. After filter replacement or filter cleaning reinstall the filters back into the filter frame compartment and assemble back to the device, see the illustration below.

Filter cleaning
The best effect for a longer lifespan of the Filters is reached by cleaning the filters once a month. If indoor air is extremely polluted, we advice to clean the filters more often ca. once per two weeks.

Clean the Pre-filter, Activated Carbon Filter and True HEPA H13 Filter carefully with a brush or your vacuum cleaner. That way bigger dust particles like lint, hair, dust and dander of pets can be removed from the filters.

Room temperature increases during operation
The Clean Air Optima® dehumidifier doesn’t have a cooling function. The device will produce heat during operation and increase the room temperature between 1 °C to 4 °C.

Dehumidifying capacity
The illustration below shows the dehumidifying capacity of the Clean Air Optima® dehumidifier. By different temperatures and relative humidity, the dehumidifier may have different dehumidifying capacities.

Warning!

• Do not damage the filters, the filters must not be cracked. Damaged filters needs to be replaced.
• Never wet or rinse the filters (Only for Activated Carbon Filter and True HEPA H13 Filter) with water. Filters that are rinsed with water needs to be replaced.
• Signs for used up filters that needs to be replaced (Only for Activated Carbon Filter and True HEPA H13 Filter)
• Increased sound, reduced air flow, congested filters, rising presence of smells. Filters needs also to be replaced by new ones when the True HEPA H13 Filter changes its color from white to grey or black. If the True HEPA H13 Filter remains white, there is NO need to replace the filters.
