Handling and operation

•  Never cover the ventilation openings, as this may cause the appliance to overheat. When setting up the appliance, maintain a sufficient distance from walls or other objects.
• Place the appliance on a firm, level and dry surface.
•  The appliance is designed for use in rooms up to a maximum size of 15 m² and with a maximum height of 2.4 m (maximum room volume: 36 m3).

How the appliance works

Inside the air purifier, there is a fan (ventilator) which draws the air in the room into the appliance and then through a high-quality filter. The filter cleans the air of particles such as house dust, pollen, fungal spores, smoke etc., so that the amount of these particles in the air is reduced. In addition, the activated carbon filter contained in the filter ensures that odours in the air are neutralised or reduced.The appliance has a timer function for automatic switch-off and a sleep mode for silent fan operation during the night. The additional ion function allows efficient removal of dirt particles in the air, thus improving indoor air quality.

Ion function

The ion function is used to electrically charge (ionise) particles (atoms or mole-cules) contained in the air in the air purifier. These ions are then released into the room air via the fan. As a result, airborne ions and particles with different charges stick together. These particles sink more easily and can therefore no longer float around in the room air.

Air quality indicator (illuminated ring)

There is an illuminated ring w on the appliance’s control panel 1, which uses different colours to indicate the amount of dirt particles in the room air. Depending on the quality of the room air, the illuminated ring w lights up in one of the following colours:

Button functions

The following table explains the functions of the buttons on the appliance control panel 1:

Switching the appliance on/off

•  Insert the mains plug of the appliance into a mains socket. You will hear a beep and all the buttons and indicators on the control panel 1 will light up briefly. The appliance is now in standby mode. In standby mode, the On/Off button 4 lights up continuously.
•  Briefly press the On/Off button 4 to switch the appliance on. You will hear a beep and the active buttons and indicators on the control panel 1 will light up.
•  To switch the appliance into standby mode, briefly press the On/Off button  4 again. You will hear a beep and all the buttons and indicators on the control panel 1 apart from the On/Off button 4 switch off.

Appliance functions

Ion function

•  During operation, briefly press the ion function button e, to switch on the ion function. The ion function button e lights up.
• Press the ion function button e again briefly to switch off the ion function. The ion function button e goes out.

Fan function

The fan function of the appliance offers you the following setting options:

•  Sleep
  Minimum fan speed for virtually silent operation and minimum airflow. The illuminated ring w is switched off in this setting.
•  Low
  Low fan speed for low air flow
•  High
  High fan speed for high air flow
•  Auto
  Automatic adjustment of the fan speed and thus the air flow rate depending on the current air quality (see table below):

  Air quality	Fan speed	Illuminated ring colour
  Good	Minimum	Blue
  Medium	Low	Yellow
  Poor	High	Red

•  If necessary, briefly press the fan function button r several times during the operation to select the desired setting (Sleep, Low, High, Auto). The selected setting is displayed on the control panel 1 and the fan function button r lights up.

NOTE

•  The standard setting for the fan function is Auto.
•  The ion function cannot be activated in the Sleep setting.

Timer function

You can use the timer function to set the operating time of the appliance to between 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours. After the set operating time has elapsed, the appliance turns off automatically and switches to standby mode. To set the timer function, proceed as follows:

• During operation, briefly press the timer button 2 once to activate the timer function. Then press the timer button 2 briefly, several times if necessary, to set the required operating time (1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs). The set operating time is displayed on control panel 1 and the timer button 2 lights up.
•  To deactivate the timer function, press the timer button 2 briefly several times (if necessary) during operation until the operating time display (1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs) goes out and the timer button 2 is no longer illuminated.

NOTE

When the appliance is switched off, the last selected settings of all functions are saved. These are then used when the appliance is switched on again. If you disconnect the appliance from the power supply, the last selected settings are deleted.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the appliance

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

Switch the appliance off and pull out the mains plug before cleaning the appliance!

ATTENTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE

4. Replace the cover q into the corresponding openings in the housing 6. Press the cover q into the openings until the cover q audibly clicks into the housing 6.

Replacing the filter

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

Always switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains before changing the filter!

•  The interval for a filter change is approx. 1500 operating hours.
•  Information on ordering replacement filters can be found in the next section Ordering spare parts.

When the filter 8 has reached the end of its life and is used up, this is indicated by the flashing of the filter change button 3. To change the filter 8 and replace it with a new filter 8, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug.
2. Turn the appliance upside down to access the bottom of the unit.
