2. Important Safety Information
WARNING: Ozone is a strong oxidant. Improper use can be harmful. Always follow these safety guidelines.
- Absence During Operation: When the device is operating and releasing ozone, ensure that all people and pets temporarily leave the room.
- Ventilation: After the device completes its operation, ventilate the area by opening windows for 5-10 minutes before re-entering. Ozone naturally decomposes into oxygen atoms within approximately 20 minutes.
- Odor Sensitivity: If you are sensitive to odors, it is recommended to start the operation during unoccupied hours (e.g., when you are out or at night) and ventilate before returning home.
- Device Placement: Do not place the device directly next to sensitive materials or electronics.
- Children and Pets: Keep the device out of reach of children and pets.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your ICARE Ozone Odor Eliminator, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on. | No power supply. | Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the device and a working electrical outlet. |
| Odor not fully eliminated. | Incorrect mode for room size/odor intensity; persistent odor source. | Increase the operating mode (e.g., from P1 to P2 or P3). Ensure the room size is within the recommended 20-40㎡. Identify and address the source of the odor if possible. Extend the duration of a single use if necessary. |
| Unpleasant smell after operation. | Residual ozone. | Ensure adequate ventilation after each use. Open windows and doors for 5-10 minutes before re-entering the treated area. The ozone smell will dissipate. |
| Pets or individuals show discomfort. | Exposure to ozone during operation. | Always ensure no people or pets are in the room during operation. Ventilate thoroughly before re-entry. Consider using a lower mode or shorter duration if sensitivity is an issue. |

9. How It Works
9.1 Ozone Generation for Odor Removal
The ozone cleaner synthesizes ozone (O₃) by breaking down oxygen (O₂) in the air through high voltage electricity. When ozone encounters molecules such as odors or smoke, the third oxygen molecule binds to the pollutant, effectively eliminating it and converting the ozone back to oxygen.
Image 9.1: A diagram visually explaining how ozone eliminates odors. It shows ozone (O₃) molecules reacting with contaminants, leading to their breakdown and the subsequent conversion of ozone back into oxygen (O₂).
9.2 Negative Ion Purification
Negative ions, often referred to as "air vitamins," play a crucial role in air quality. The device generates negative ions which efficiently remove dust and PM2.5 particles, deodorize, and activate oxygen molecules in the air, contributing to a healthier respiratory environment.
