Warning - Batteries
• When inserting batteries, note the correct polarity (+ and -
markings) and insert the batteries accordingly. Failure to do so
could result in the batteries leaking or exploding.
• Only use batteries (or rechargeable batteries) that match the
speci ed type.
• Before you insert the batteries, clean the battery contacts and the
polarity contacts.
• Do not allow children to change batteries without supervision.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types or
from different manufacturers.
• Remove the batteries from products that are not being used for
an extended period (unless these are being kept ready for an
emergency).
• Do not short-circuit batteries.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Do not burn batteries.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to enter
the environment. They can contain toxic, environmentally harmful
heavy metals.
• Remove spent batteries from the product and dispose of them
without delay.
• Avoid storing, charging and using in extreme temperatures and at
extremely low atmospheric pressures (such as at high altitudes).
Warning - Button cells
• Do not swallow the battery. Burning hazard from hazardous
substances.
• This product contains button cells. If the button cell is swallowed,
serious internal burns can occur within 2 hours and ultimately lead
to death.
• Keep new and used batteries out of the reach of children.
• If the battery compartment will no longer close securely, stop using
the product and keep it away from children.
• If you suspect that batteries have been swallowed or are in any
part of the body, seek medical attention immediately.
5. The principle of air purification
• A fan in the device draws in room air via the air inlets.
• The pre- lter is located at the top of the lter system for the initial
ltration of impurities. Larger particles such as dandruff, hair and
dust are ltered out.
• Afterwards, the sucked-in air ows through the Hepa 13 lter. The
abbreviation HEPA stands for "High E ciency Particulate Air". The
HEPA lter consists of a very ne bre material. It has the ability to
capture the smallest particles down to a size of between 0.1 to 0.3
m, achieving a separation e ciency of 99.95%. Thus, it can lter
bacteria (0.6 to 1.0 m); ne dust (0.1 - 10 m) and pollen (10 - 100
m) from the air.
• The air then ows through an activated charcoal lter with a cold
catalyst layer
• It lters 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 ltered air is discharged into the room at the air outlet.
6. Start-up and operation
6.1 Inserting/changing the filter
Warning
• Make sure that the product is disconnected from the mains.
• Since the lter contains all the collected pollutants, it should only
be changed outdoors and with appropriate care against contact
contamination (gloves/respiratory protection).
The lter must be inserted before the rst start-up.
To do this, proceed as follows:
• Pull the front panel upwards away from the air intake openings with
both hands.
• Remove the used lter, if any, and dispose of it in your household
waste.
• Remove the new lter from the protective packaging and insert it into
the device. The black side of the activated charcoal lter must face
the device.
• First the thick cassette is inserted into the device, then the thinner
coarse lter.
• For easier mounting, retaining tabs are attached to the upper lter
ends. These must point outwards towards the front panel.
• Place the lter at the bottom of the lter chamber and insert it using
the retaining tab.
• Replace the front panel and snap it into place.
7. Switching the device on/off
Warning
• Only operate the product from an approved socket that is
connected to the public power supply. The socket must be installed
close to the product and must be easily accessible.
• Disconnect the product from the power supply using the On/Off
switch – if this is not available, unplug the power cord from the
socket.
• If using a multi-socket power strip, make sure that the total power
consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the power
strip's maximum throughput rating.
• If you will not be using the product for a prolonged period,
disconnect it from mains power.
• Connect the mains lead on the air lter to a properly installed socket.
• Switch the air lter on using the OFF/ON button (16).
8. Care and maintenance
Note
Disconnect the device from the mains before cleaning and during
prolonged periods of non-use.
Only clean this product with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and do not
use aggressive cleaning agents.
• Ensure that no water is able to enter the product.
* See also the "Replace Filter" section for detailed cleaning instructions.
