2. Impostazione

Disimballaggio e posizionamento

1. Estrarre con cautela il purificatore d'aria dalla confezione.
2. Rimuovere tutti i materiali protettivi e i sacchetti di plastica.
3. Place the unit on a firm, level surface, ensuring adequate space around it for air circulation (at least 20 cm from walls or furniture).

Installazione del filtro

The air purifier uses a multi-stage filtration system to ensure clean air. Ensure all filters are correctly installed before first use.

Figura 2: lato view of the air purifier, illustrating the filter compartment access.

The filtration system includes a pre-filter, activated carbon filter, and HEPA H13 filter. These filters capture at least 99.9% of airborne pollutants, including PM2.5, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and pollen. The humidifying filter also removes salts and microorganisms from water.

1. Open the rear panel of the unit.
2. Ensure the pre-filter, activated carbon filter, and HEPA H13 filter are securely in place. Remove any plastic packaging from the filters before installation.
3. Chiudere il pannello posteriore.

Filling the Water Tank (for Humidification)

• CLEAN AIR ON: Activates air purification only.
• CLEAN AIR & HUMIDIFY ON: Activates both air purification and humidification.
• CLEAN/ION SHOWER ON: Initiates a high-density Plasmacluster ion release for rapid air purification.
• VELOCITÀ DELLA VENTOLA: Regola la velocità della ventola (bassa, media, alta, automatica).
• Pulsante di reset: Resets filter indicators after maintenance.
• BLOCCO BAMBINI: Prevents accidental operation by children. Press and hold for 3 seconds to activate/deactivate.
• HUMIDITY Display: Shows the current relative humidity level.
• CLEAN SIGN Indicator: Changes color to indicate air quality.

Modalità operative

• Clean Air Mode: Press the "CLEAN AIR ON" button. The unit will purify the air using its filtration system and Plasmacluster ions.
• Clean Air & Humidify Mode: Press the "CLEAN AIR & HUMIDIFY ON" button. The unit will purify the air and add moisture to the environment. Ensure the water tank is filled.
• Ion Shower Mode: Press the "CLEAN/ION SHOWER ON" button. This mode releases a high concentration of Plasmacluster ions for approximately 60 minutes to quickly remove odors and airborne particles.
• Regolazione della velocità della ventola: Press the "FAN SPEED" button repeatedly to cycle through different fan speeds (Low, Medium, High, Auto). In Auto mode, the unit adjusts fan speed based on detected air quality.

4. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e prolunga la durata del purificatore d'aria.

Pulizia del prefiltro

• Frequenza: Approximately once a month, or when the filter indicator lights up.
• Procedura:
  1. Scollegare l'unità.
  2. Remove the rear panel and detach the pre-filter.
  3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the pre-filter. For heavy dirt, wash it with water and a mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before reinstallation.
  4. Reinstall the pre-filter and close the rear panel.
  5. Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds to reset the filter indicator.

Cleaning the Humidifying Filter and Water Tank

• Frequenza: As needed, or when the humidification performance decreases.
• Procedura:
  1. Scollegare l'unità.
  2. Remove the water tank and humidifying filter assembly.
  3. Clean the water tank with water and a mild detergent.
  4. Clean the humidifying filter by soaking it in a descaling solution (e.g., citric acid solution) to remove mineral deposits, then rinse thoroughly.
  5. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and reinserting into the unit.

Sostituzione dei filtri

The activated carbon filter and HEPA H13 filter are not washable and must be replaced periodically. Replacement frequency depends on usage and air quality, typically every 2-5 years. All replacement filters are available from authorized dealers.

• Procedura:
  1. Scollegare l'unità.
  2. Remove the rear panel and the old filters.
  3. Install new filters, ensuring correct orientation.
  4. Chiudere il pannello posteriore.
  5. Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds to reset the filter indicator.
