2. Setup Instructions

2.1 Unboxing and Initial Placement

Figure 2: Product dimensions for optimal placement.

For optimal performance, place the air purifier in a central location within the room. Avoid placing it directly against walls or in corners, as the unit draws air from multiple sides. Maintain at least six inches of clearance from walls to ensure proper airflow. Avoid direct sunlight exposure.

2.2 Filter Preparation

Before first use, the protective plastic wrapping must be removed from the filters. Open the filter compartment (refer to the maintenance section for details on accessing filters) and carefully unwrap each filter. Reinsert the filters into their designated slots.

2.3 Powering On and Initial Calibration

1. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
2. Press the power button on the control panel.
