Know Your Air Purifier

Introduction:
Thank you for choosing the Airvana® Capri True HEPA Air Purifier! Airvana air purifiers are designed to improve your indoor breathing environment simply, efficiently, and in style.

Quality is key for Airvana so we use:
True HEPA Filter: Our HEPA filter is rigorously tested to ensure 99.97% efficiency in cleaning particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air, including smoke, dust, and pollen.
Natural Coconut Carbon Pre-Filter: The Pre-Filter uses carbon derived from coconuts. Carbon pre-filters reduce VOCs and household odors in the air as well as capture larger airborne particles including pet hair, dander, and fabric fibers, before they reach the HEPA filter.
Granular CocoCarbon Filter: Discover the freshness of the Granular CocoCarbon Filter. Embrace the feeling of living in a home that’s always fresh and welcoming. The Granular CocoCarbon Filter, an innovative solution for home air purification, is here to revolutionize your indoor atmosphere. The Granular CocoCarbon Filter is expertly crafted using sustainably grown coconut carbon for remarkable odor and moisture absorption.
With environmental appreciation at its core, this eco-friendly filter provides an efficient and responsible choice for indoor air purification. This impressive filter maintains indoor moisture levels to help discourage undesired mold and mildew growth. As it takes action, it effectively addresses odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other particles that can affect your indoor air quality. What’s more, the Granular CocoCarbon Filter achieves all this without resorting to chemicals, additives, or artificial fragrances, creating a more natural environment in your home. Most importantly, experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home environment is free of exposure to undesirable chemicals or synthetic fragrances.
NOTE: This guide covers several air purifier models. Your model may have some or all of the features listed. This guide covers both permanent HEPA filter models and replaceable HEPA filter models. Please see care section relevant to your model.

How the System Works:
Air is pulled into the air purifier by the fan. The air passes first through the pre-filter, where larger airborne particles such as pet dander and hair are trapped. Smaller particles that pass through the pre-filter are then captured by the HEPA filter (up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns).

Initial Setup

Initial Setup:

1. Pull air purifier out of box and remove all packaging.
2. Unravel and straighten the cord before use.
3. Place air purifier on a flat and even surface. For proper air flow, place unit at least six (6) inches from any wall or furniture. DO NOT block air opening.
4. Plug power cord into wall outlet and start the unit.

Note: This air purifier should be operated indoors only.
