2. Setup
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the air purifier from its packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2.2 Placement
For optimal performance, place the air purifier in a location where air can circulate freely. Avoid placing it directly against walls or furniture that might obstruct airflow. Placing the unit low to the ground, near high-flow areas like doorways, can help capture more dust as it tends to settle lower.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your air purifier.
4.1 Cleaning the Permanent Filter
