- Allow at least 12-18 inches of clearance from walls for maximum airflow.
4-Stage Air Purification
The air purification process involves four stages to remove airborne particles:

- Activated Carbon Filter: Absorbs odors, VOCs, and smoke.
- True HEPA Filter: Captures 99.97% of airborne allergens, dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander (particles as small as 0.3 microns).
- PlasmaWave® Technology: Creates hydroxyls to help reduce airborne viruses, bacteria, and gases (optional feature).
