BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Make sure that the plastic packaging protecting the filters has been removed before using the appliance.
Before the first use, ensure the voltage, frequency and power of your appliance suit your electric supply.
Your appliance can operate using an unearthed plug. It is a class II (double electrical insulation ).
Before switching on your appliance, ensure that:

• the appliance is completely assembled as described in the safety instructions,
• the appliance is placed on a stable, horizontal surface,
• the appliance is positioned in accordance with the instructions given in this manual,
• the air inlets and the outlet grid are completely unobstructed,
• the 4 filters and front panel have been correctly installed (See section “Disassembling/Reassembling filters”).

This appliance is equipped with 4 types of filters:

NB: For optimum performance of the appliance, only use filters provided by TEFAL.
To replace the filters, follow the instructions in the section “Disassembling/Reassembling filters” .
Please note: certain filters may emit a temporary slight odor, due to the transport and storage conditions.

SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON

Connect the power cord and press the start button (10). Your appliance will be preset to automatic mode the first time you turn it on. Thanks to its infrared particle sensor and its gas sensor (model PU6066 only), it detects the level of pollution in the room and automatically adjusts the filtration speed accordingly. The air quality indicator changes color to indicate the air quality in the room.

Air quality| Air quality indicator color| Filtration speed (in auto mode)
---|---|---
Excellent| Blue|
Average| Purple|
Poor| Red|

Setting the pollution sensors
The appliance is preset to medium sensitivity. If the air quality indicator remains:

• poor after 2 hours in operation although the air seems to be purified
• excellent for more than 1 hour although the air seems to be polluted you can adjust the sensor sensitivity as follows:

1. When the air purifier is off, hold down the filtration speed setting button for 2 seconds:
2. Set the sensitivity by briefly pressing the filtration speed setting button:

• Select high sensitivity if the air purifier indicates excellent air quality for more than 1 hour although the air seems to be polluted.
• Select low sensitivity if the air purifier continues to indicate poor air quality even though it has been operating for more than 2 hours and the air seems sufficiently purified.

3. The new setting is applied if no button is pressed for 10 seconds.

OPERATION

Start
Briefly press this button to switch the air purifier on or off.
Mode / filtration speed selection
Automatic: In this operating mode, the filtration speed automatically adjusts according to the air quality detected by the particle sensor and the gas sensor (model PU6066 only). This mode is recommended for general use.
Manual: In this operating mode, you can manually select 1 of the 4 filtration speeds.
Night mode selection
The filtration speed of your appliance is adjusted for a whisper-quiet airflow during the night. The light intensity of the appliance is also reduced. If pollution is detected, the filtration speed increases slightly to purify your air but remains quiet to avoid disturbing your sleep.
Light

Filters

This data is based on the average use of 8 hours per day at speed 2.
The recommended frequency for cleaning and replacing the filters may vary depending on the duration of use and the operating environment.

• The NanoCaptur filter contains translucent granules which change color according to the formaldehyde absorption rate. Refer to the color chart on the inside of the panel or the filter itself to establish the filter saturation rate. Once the saturation rate has reached its maximum, the filter must be replaced. You have to check the filter saturation rate every six months.
• The pre-filter can be re-used: remove the dust using a vacuum cleaner or wash with water.

CAUTION:
The appliance’s efficiency can be reduced if the pre-filter is not cleaned regularly. Never use a pre-filter that is still damp. The pre-filter is the only filter that can be re-used and washed with water. The TRUE HEPA ALLERGY+ FILTER, NanoCaptur, and active carbon filters cannot be cleaned and re-used. Never wash with water.
To replace the filters, follow the instructions in the section “Disassembling/Reassembling filters” .

Your replacement filters are available under the following codes:

.Forced reset:
If you have replaced a filter before its end of life, force the reset of the filter replacement cycle:

1.  Hold the reset button for 2 seconds
2. Press the reset button briefly to select the filter you have changed.
3.  After selecting the filter to reset, hold the reset button for 2 seconds. The electronic meter is then reset.

« TIPS FOR CHANGING FILTERS »

• Avoid handling used filters if you suffer from allergies or asthma.
• Wear gloves when changing the filters, or wash your hands well afterward.
• Put used filters directly into a closed, air-tight bag before throwing them away to avoid spreading pollutants.

Pollution sensors
The particle sensor and gas sensor (model PU6066 only) need to be cleaned regularly (every 2 months) and appropriately.
Make sure you turn off and unplug the appliance before cleaning the pollution sensors and follow the recommendations below:

1. Clean the air inlet and outlet using a soft brush or cloth.

3. Lightly wet a cotton swab and remove any dust from the lens and the inlet/outlet. Wipe using a dry cotton swab.
4. Clean the gas sensor using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
