ABOUT YOUR AIR PURIFIER

As well as acting as a fan providing effective personal comfort, this IQ- PURECOOL air purifier provides multiple stages of air purification. This unit features HEPA and activated carbon filters for improved air filtration.

• Antibacterial HEPA filter removes 99.5% of airborne particles of 0.25 micrometres or larger.
• Activated carbon filter removes unpleasant odours and absorbs harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzenes.

APPLICATIONS

• Personal use in domestic and office space to improve air quality
• Helps smokers to reduce contaminants within the air
• Can help improve the symptoms of asthma and pollen allergies
• Great for children’s rooms and small offices

FEATURES

• LED display with touch screen controls
• 12 hours start / stop timer
• Easy to use remote control with magnetic holder
• Quiet DC motor with 9 fan speeds
• Oscillation function
• Adjustable vertical airflow direction
• Dual filter compartments

NOTE

• This air purifier is not a substitute for proper ventilation, regular vacuum cleaning or for use in place of a cooker hood whilst cooking.
• If the relative humidity is above 60% we recommend using a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity.

IMPORTANT

• Before first use ensure that all the packaging has been removed from the filters and that they are inserted correctly into the filter compartments.

INFORMATION ON INDOOR POLLUTANTS

• VOC (Volatile Organic Compound): VOCs come from motor vehicle exhausts, gasoline vapour, pollutants such as formaldehyde, ammonia and many other common and chemical solvents such as paints and glues, or can be a by-product of mould growth. VOCs cause irritation to the eyes and or nose as well as causing headaches, nausea and even potential damage to the central nervous system. Pressed wood furniture, newly decorated rooms, paint and cleaning solvents are common sources of VOCs.

• Mould / Fungus: These can affect our respiratory system and cause allergic reactions, like a runny nose, eye and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue and aggravation of asthma.
  Other indoor pollutants include bacteria, viruses, dust mites and pollen.

• Emissions from electronic office equipment: Many studies, including those from EPA and the University of California Berkley, have reported that emissions from office equipment such as computers and printers, include VOCs, ultra-fine particles and ozone. These emissions have been proven to have a negative effect on the health of many people which can be reduced by using an air purifier.

• Using HEPA filters and Activated Carbon filters: An effective HEPA filter is absolutely necessary to remove particles, even at a microscopic level; it ensures that the particles are not spread. The antibacterial activated carbon on the IQ-PURECOOL is a natural material biosynthesized from walnut shell, the absorption area of activated carbon is very large at up to 300,000 square meters. The activated carbon filter will absorb unpleasant odours and reduce the VOC content in the air.

ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS

• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance and safety, the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 30cm. Keep away from other electrical appliances.
• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every two weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

• When the unit is not in use for long periods, it is advisable to remove the plug from the power socket.
• Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit.
• Do not assemble the unit and power it on before all the parts are completely dry. Any other maintenance than what is described in this user manual must be only performed by the service centre.

CHANGING THE FILTER

The life of the filters will vary depending both on the amount of use the appliance receives, and the air quality in the area the appliance is situated. We advise for the filters to be replaced every six months based on a normal operating environment. During filter maintenance it is advisable to swap the filters between the primary and secondary compartments to maintain performance and extend their life. Open the filter covers by gently removing the 2 side panels. Remove the old filters by simply pulling on the tabs to release them. Replace the filters before refitting the filter covers, ensuring the covers click into place.

REPLACEMENT FILTERS

We offer both a replacement set of HEPA + Activated Carbon filter (FIL-IQ- PURECOOL) and an enhanced HEPA filter (HPFILTER-IQ-PURECOOL) which are available from the same stockist as the appliance and are available under the references below.

FIL-IQ-PURECOOL

Replacement filter pack (1 x HEPA and 1 x ACTIVATED CARBON). Two packs should be ordered if replacing the filters in both the Primary and Secondary compartments. This is great for typical use with similar sized HEPA and Activated Carbon filters which offer a good balance of filtering dust, mould, pollen while also removing odours from the air, such as the smell of tobacco smoke or VOCs.

HPFILTER-IQ-PURECOOL

Enhanced filter pack containing a 2-in-1 filter. The dual filter contains an enhanced True HEPA filter with a greater filtration surface while still incorporating a slimmer activated carbon layer. This will provide upgraded performance when placed in the primary filter compartment and is ideal in smoke free environments. It is great at combating pet dander, pollen, mites and reducing allergens. This filter can be used in combination with standard filters in the secondary compartment, or one can be placed in each compartment for a further increase in performance.

CLEANING THE UNIT

• Only use tepid water and a mild detergent on a soft cloth.
• Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit.

CLEANING THE FILTERS AND FILTER HOLDING AREA

• Hoover the filters gently every 2-3 weeks or more often if used in dusty or polluted environments.
• Ensure the filters are not damaged during the cleaning process and replace if they show any signs of damage.
• Wipe the filter holding area with a dry cloth if necessary.

CLEANING THE FILTER COVER AND CLEAN AIR OUTLET

• Use water and a mild detergent.
• Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not spray water inside the unit.
• If the clean air outlet grilles get soiled easily, use a vacuum attachment or soft brush to clean.
