FEATURES OF YOUR AIR PURIFIER

True HEPA filter
Your air purifier features a True HEPA filter,, which removes up to 99.97% of airborne dust and pollen as small as 0.3 microns and helps reduce smoke, mould spores,s and pet dander from the air passing through the filter.
Pre-filter
The pre-filter captures large particles from dust, hair, and pet dander to help extend the filter’s efficiency and life.
Activated carbon filter
Designed to reduce and neutralize odours, vapours, and gases from cooking, smoke, chemicals, pets, and other unwanted scents.
Light Protect UV light
- Germs, viruses, bacteria, mold, and fungi trapped in the filter are exposed to UV light to reduce reproduction.
- Results are based on the microbial reduction rate of 99.9% with the unit on the high setting, UV light ON, and Ionizer ON for 2 hours. Tested at a third-party, Intertek Microbiological Laboratory in the US. Report #104730711COL-001.
Fabric filter
The vacuum-friendly outer fabric catches larger particles, extending the life of the main filter.
Ioniser
This appliance has an ioniser feature,e which releases negative ions in the o outgoing filtered air to help the air purification process.
What are Ions?
Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. They exist naturally around us in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colourless, odourless, and completely harmless.

How does the ioniser work

Negative ions help air purification by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the room. These particles take on a negative charge and may join with positively charged particles such as dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander to form larger particles. The larger particles are then more easily captured by the filter system.
Important notes:
- Your ioniser may produce an occasional popping or cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a small buildup of ions is discharged.
- After extended use, you may notice dust around the grilles or panels.
  - This is caused by negative ions exiting the air outlet, evidence of the ioniser’s air cleaning effectiveness.
  - You can remove the dust with a soft brush or a clean, damp cloth. Larger particles may be attracted to positively charged surfaces throughout the home, like walls or floors.
  - This may occur more frequently when the filter is nearing the end of its useful product life and is unable to capture as many charged particles.
  - Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may decrease the life expectancy of the filters and interfere with the ionisation process.
