Filter

Filter change indicator.Flashes when filter needs to be replaced.

The air purifier calculates arequired filter change according to its service life.
The change indicator lights up when the filter should be replaced to ensuresufficient air purification.
With daily use, the combi-filter should be used up after approx. 6-12 months.
Since the filter contains all the collected pollutants, it should only be changed outdoors and with appropriate careagainst contact contamination (gloves/respiratory protection).
The filter is not washable.
An unpleasant odour during operation may indicate that filtered substances aredecomposing in the filter (e.g. bacteria) and it needs to be replaced or ventilated in the sun.
Vacuum the filter and the inner housing every 1to2months to remove coarse dirt. Then place the filter outdoors in direct sunlight for approx. 3hours to dry it and eliminate any bacteria, viruses etc. that may be present through the UV rays.
Also hold the vacuum cleaner against the open sensor opening (2) to clean it.
The filter can then possibly be reused. The filter must be replaced after 1year at the latest. On the one hand, thereisarisk that it will no longer completely remove the particles mentioned from the air or that the pollutant particles already in the filter will be released again. The activated charcoal also loses its effect when unpacked.
After changing the filter,reset the indicator by pressing the Filter button (17) on the device.

Displays

Speed: Display of the set fan speed
PM 2.5: in μg/m³; display of measured fine dust particles with an aerodynamic diameter Ø 2.5μm (0.5 to 3.5μm).
Typical concentrations in homes are 20 to 30 μg/m³.
Air Quality: After switching on the device, the display flashes until the sensor has warmed up. After that, the display visually shows the indoor air quality.
Green stands for good quality
Orange stands for normal quality
Red stands for poor quality
If the humidity in the room is very high, condensation can form on the sensor and negatively affect the display and cause switching back and forth in automatic mode. In this case, use the air purifier with a manual speed setting.
Temp/Humidity: Display alternates between the indoor air temperature and humidity display.
Timing: Display of the running time preselected via the Timing button (16)

Water tank

The principle of air purification

Afan in the device draws in room air via the air inlets.
The pre-filter is located at the top of the filter system for the initial filtration of impurities. Larger particles such as dandruff, hair and dust are filtered out.
Afterwards, the sucked-in air flows through the Hepa 13 filter.The abbreviation HEPA stands for “High Efficiency Particulate Air”. The HEPA filter consists of avery fine fibre material. It has the ability to capture the smallest particles down to a size of between 0.1 to 0.3 μm, achieving a separation efficiency of 99.95%. Thus, it can filter bacteria (0.6 to 1.0 μm); fine dust (0.1 -10μm) and pollen (10 -100 μm) from the air.
The air then flows through an activated charcoal filter with the acold catalyst layer
It filters out formaldehyde, benzene, other gases and unpleasant odours. Activated charcoal has an excellent absorption capacity.It can deodorise, dehumidify and in some cases trap viruses and have a sterilising effect.
The ioniser releases negatively charged ions into the air.These combine with the positively charged dirt particles to form larger particles that can be separated more easily.
The filtered air is discharged into the room at the air outlet.

Start-up and operation
