Important Safety Instructions
- Always ensure the air purifier is connected to a 110-120V power outlet. Using a different voltage may damage the device and void the warranty.

- Do not block air inlets or outlets. Keep the unit away from curtains, clothing, or other objects that could obstruct airflow.
- Unplug the air purifier from the power outlet before cleaning, performing maintenance, or when not in use for extended periods.
- Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug. If the cord or plug is damaged, contact customer support for assistance.
- Keep the air purifier out of reach of children and pets. The child lock feature can be used to prevent accidental changes to settings.

- Activated Carbon Layer: Absorbs various household odors, smoke, cooking smells, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
