HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
An air purifier draws in room air from its air inlet, lets the air pass
through the filter that consists of a pre-filter and HEPA filter inside of the
unit, then releases clean purified air from its air outlet. The air purifier
repeats this process by moving its internal fan. As air passes through the
HEPA filter, it removes airborne particles such as smoke, dust, pollen, and
other potentially harmful particles which could cause allergies, asthma
and hay fever.
Choosing a Location
To maximize air circulation, position the air purifier at least 50cm away
from walls, or any other large objects that could disrupt the airflow.
For optimum results close all windows and doors. For more efficient
air treatment, place the unit in a central location and make sure the
control panel can easily be accessed.
Note: The unit will run continuously if all the timer lights are off.

filter needs to be replaced. Once replaced, touch and hold the button
for several seconds until the filter indicator light goes off.
