Use a damp cloth only. Never allow water or vapours to enter the unit. · Do
not clean with strong chemical agents or other abrasive materials. · Never
connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If a power
outlet is not available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician. ·
Never operate this appliance if the cord or power supply are damaged. Ensure
the power cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp objects/edges. · A damaged
power supply should be replaced by the manufacturer. Never extend or attempt
to change the power supply lead. · Any service other than regular cleaning or
filter replacement should be performed by an authorised service
representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty. · Do not
use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use. · Avoid
removing the power cord from the socket whilst the unit is still in operation.
This could cause electrical damage.

ABOUT YOUR AIR PURIFIER
The EAP600HCUV-WIFI provides multiple stages of air purification using
professional air filtration and intelligent sterilisation technologies. This
unit features advanced HEPA and photocatalytic and activated carbon filters
for improved air filtration. · Primary filter, made of non-woven materials,
are used for removing large
particles like hair and dust. · Antibacterial HEPA filter to remove 99.9% of
airborne particles of 0.25
micrometres or larger. · Activated carbon filter removes unpleasant odours and
absorbs harmful
substances such as formaldehydes and benzenes. · Molecular sieve absorption
layer removes smaller particles · Photocatalytic filter using titanium dioxide
(TiO2) to further decompose
pollutants. · UVC lamp removes airborne bacteria and viruses. · Plasma Ioniser
sterilises the air further and removes mould spores and allergens
from the air. The EAP600HCUV-WIFI also features an air quality indicator bar
that will provide a visual indication of the current air quality. In addition
the appliance can be connected to your home network, allowing settings to be
changed and the device to be monitored through your smartphone from anywhere
in the world. The app also provides the ability to program the air purifier
for even smarter operation.
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
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.

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, Activated Carbon filters and Plasma Ionisation: An
effective HEPA filter is absolutely necessary to remove particles, even at a
microscopic level; it ensures that the particles are not spread. Plasma
Ionisers will sterilise the air and reduce bacterial growth. The antibacterial
activated carbon on the EAP600HCUV 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. The Plasma Ioniser will
sterilise the air and reduce bacterial growth.
