Filtration Stages:
- Pre-Filter: High-density mesh cloths designed to intercept large particles such as hair, dust, and pet dander.
- H13 True HEPA Filter: Effectively filters and removes fine airborne particles including pollen, dust mites, mold spores, fungus, smoke, and bacteria.
- Activated Carbon Filter: Adsorbs unpleasant odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and cooking smells.
4. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the air purifier from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport.
- Filter Installation: The filters may come pre-installed or require installation. Open the filter compartment (usually at the back or bottom) and ensure all filters are unwrapped from any plastic packaging before placing them securely inside. Refer to the filter compartment diagram if available on the unit.
- Placement: Place the air purifier on a firm, level surface. For optimal performance, ensure there is at least 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) of clear space around all sides of the unit to allow for proper air circulation. Avoid placing it directly against walls or furniture.
