Purification Theory

The air purification process involves several stages:

1. Pre-Filter: Removes hair, dander, etc.
2. Wire Frame: Kills bacteria & viruses, decomposes Formaldehyde and TVOC.
3. Collecting Plates: Collects all harmful particles.
4. Composite Catalyst Filter: Further purifies the air.

Operation Instruction

Screen Indicator Control

Press to turn off the indicator light and adjust the display brightness. Note: This function does not control the running mode or wind speed.

Children Lock Indicator

Indicator stays on: Operation button is locked. Press and hold the operation button to turn off the child lock function and shut down the unit. The child lock can also be turned off via the App. Attention: Use the App only to turn on the child lock function.

Sleep Mode Indicator

All display lights are off except the sleep mode indicator. The air purifier cleans the air in silent mode. The AQI sensor stops working.

Auto Mode Indicator

In Auto Mode, the air purifier senses AQI and automatically adjusts the wind speed according to the air quality level.

Power Indicator

Indicator lights up when the power is on. Indicator light is off when the power is off. Indicator blinks when the unit needs cleaning and maintenance.

Display and Air Quality Indicator

The display shows the AQI (Air Quality Index) concentration. The Air Quality Indicator light provides a visual cue:

• Green: Excellent (AQI ≤ 50)
• Yellow Green: Good (50 < AQI ≤ 100)
• Yellow: Moderately Polluted (100 < AQI ≤ 150)
• Red: Hazardous (AQI > 150)

Displays "---" when the detector is off-line.

Cleaning Reminder

Displays when collecting plates need to be washed. Press and hold the operation button to reset after cleaning.

Faulty Reminder

When "9XX" appears on the display and the power indicator is blinking, it indicates a potential issue. Clean the unit thoroughly, ensuring all parts are correctly assembled and have solid contact. Refer to the Full Cleaning Cycle section for more details. If "9XX" persists after cleaning, contact customer service.

AQI numbers are calculated based on real-time particle numbers, influenced by air flow speed, purifier position, and ambient environment, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Reminder & Placement Guidelines

Power Cord Reminder

Instructions: Please take out the power from the back directly. DO NOT coil or run the power cord under the bottom of the air purifier. Keep it free and clear from obstructions. Follow these instructions to avoid electromagnetic compatibility issues with the purifier.

Ionization Wire Frame Cleaning

We recommend cleaning the Ionization Wire Frame when the air purifier emits abnormal sounds, such as "crackling or zapping".

1. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the Ionization Wire Frame track by sliding up-down gently.
2. Insert the Ionization Wire Frame in the direction of the labeling.
3. Do not allow the wire frame to come into contact with any liquid to avoid corrosion.

Collecting Plates Cleaning

We recommend cleaning the collecting plates when the air purifier display shows "-C-".

1. Turn off the power, open the rear cover panel, and pull out the collecting plates. (Refer to Diagram 1)
2. Place collecting plates into a container and use a cleaning brush to clean them with water. (Refer to Diagram 3)
3. Remarks:
   • It is better to use detergent and soak for around 10 minutes before brushing the collecting plates. Do not soak for too long to protect their normal functioning. (Refer to Diagram 2)
   • Choose a neutral detergent. DO NOT USE a corrosive detergent such as daily laundry powder.
   • Ignore small stains on the sheet metal surface as they will not seriously affect the use of the air purifier.
4. Dry the collecting plates after cleaning using a hair dryer or natural sunlight. Recommended drying time is over 24 hours.
5. Put the collecting plates back in the proper direction based on the label on the collecting plate.

Full Cleaning Cycle

1. Unplug the power supply. Open the rear cover panel and pull out the wire frame and collecting plates.
2. Clean the collecting plates according to the previous instructions.
3. Use a wet cloth to wipe down all surfaces of the protective rubber sleeve, including notches. (Recommended to clean every 3 months.) (Refer to Diagram 1)
4. If dust accumulates on the protective rubber sleeve, open the upper shroud and remove the composite catalyst filter. Then take out the rubber sleeve and wash it in water. Please dry it for over 24 hours. (Recommended to wash every 6 months.) (Refer to Diagram 2)
5. Wash the pre-filter in water and dry it.
6. Dry all parts completely, then reassemble them in order.

Q&A

1. I am concerned about the product safety, may I know more?

Airdog X8S is built around a Safety 1st motto! We have implemented the following:

• A. Smart control: The "smart electronics" control circuit continually monitors the current and voltage levels, and suppresses them whenever there's any abnormal situation.
• B. Anti-fire: Airdog X8S is manufactured with the highest VO-grade fire retardant plastics housing.
• C. Child lock: It prevents improper operations when children are playing around it.

2. Airdog X8S uses high voltage inside, is it safe for home use?

Airdog X8S uses an advanced electronic design built around safety. The power consumption of Airdog is equivalent to a small light bulb. It has high voltage inside but very low current in the order of micro-amps. The high voltage runs on direct current to avoid any possible electronic perturbation.

3. Do I have any maintenance cost if I own an Airdog X8S?

• A. Collecting plates in Airdog X8S are washable and reusable, so no more spending on HEPA filters and others.
• B. Composite catalyst is reusable; you may put it directly under the sunlight for 1~2 hours to refresh it. However, some customers might be very sensitive to any smell and might have to change the composite catalyst layer every 6~24 months to refresh the smell. The cost of the catalyst layer is only a small fraction of the cost of HEPA. To replace the catalyst layer, please contact your sales resource where you bought Airdog X8S.

4. I heard a "crackling" or "zapping" noise inside the unit. Is that normal?

5. Can I clean the Airdog X8S by putting the whole unit in the dishwasher?

6. How could I confirm that the collecting plates are fully dried?

7. Why does Airdog App connection fail?

• A. Airdog App does not support IPv6 network environment.
• B. Make sure your Wi-Fi is in 2.4GHz.
• C. The home Wi-Fi environment could be complicated. To verify if the smart control system is functional or not, you could use the hotspot on another phone instead of the home Wi-Fi to make a connection. The hotspot could simplify connection complexity and verify the hardware function.
