Most people spend around 90% of their time indoors, at home or in the ofce.
The EPA – the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency claims the quality of air
indoors can be 100 times worse than outdoors.
Some factors contribute to indoor contamination:
- High concentration of people in rooms increase fungus, bacteria and
virus development, and cross contamination
- New building insulation techniques reduce outside air interchanges and
consequently air conditioning running cost, but in turn drastically increase mold,
and bacteria colonies
- Decient air conditioning duct cleaning
- Concentration of organic material such as books, carpeting, curtains,
and sofas
Good air quality indoors is a must for those affected by respiratory diseases and
allergies.
Contaminated indoor air (fungus, airborne allergens, pollens, ozone) can trigger:
- Asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, and sinusitis
- Fungal infections in immune depressed patients
- Eye, throat and nose irritation
- Headaches, lethargy, irritability
- Cough and difculty in concentration
Relation between microorganisms and related diseases:
Inocolums(*) X Virulency (**)
Human Resistance
(*) Quantity of microorganisms (**) Microorganism aggressiveness
The higher “Inocolums” and “Virulency” and or the lower “Human resistance” re-
sults in greater contamination risk to people. The main contamination causes are
several types of fungus, (some of them already resistant to the most
powerful chemicals and poisons), bacteria, viruses, the ne dust mite excrements
and skeletons containing powerful allergens and hazardous fungus, and the sea-
sonal pollens.
Airfree®can safely and silently destroy those allergens.

Always keep Airfree® in its vertical position as shown in the picture.
Do not attempt to use it sideways, under furniture, or with its bottom air
inlets and or outlets blocked avoiding air to ow in and sterilized air to
ow out Airfree. If any of the above occurs, the TSS™ ceramic core will be
disconnected as the unit will not work properly in those conditions and after
about 1 minute, the anti-stress light (exclusive in models P1000 / P2000 /
Onix 3000) will start blinking to call for attention, indicating poor installation,
or eventual malfunctioning. After few seconds of being properly installed the
anti-stress light will stop blinking.
Do not attempt to open Airfree® or touch its internal components and/ or do not
insert any objects as it may pose electric shock.
Any attempt to open or tamper Airfree® will void this warranty.
To clean Airfree®, unplug it from the electric outlet and use a dry cloth to wipe
off its surface. Do not attempt to open Airfree® to clean it inside.
Only Airfree® authorized dealers have the expertise and authorization to
repair your Airfree®.
In the event of a return for repair, make sure Airfree®is well protected
preferably inside its original box to avoid further damage.

problems to boat owners.
Applications
Healthy rooms with pure clean air
The efcient and noiseless Airfree® technology safely destroys mold
spores, bacteria, viruses and other airborne organic microorganisms.
Respiratory allergies and Asthma
Airfree® drastically reduces airborne organic allergens and ozone,
providing cleaner and safer environment for allergic people. Airfree®
destroys mold spores, bacteria, viruses, dust mite allergens, pet dander
and reduces ozone, all kept to minimum levels.
Children and Newborns
Studies demonstrate that reducing dust mite allergen exposure to young
children will lessen the development of asthma.
Mold and Mildew
Airborne Mold spores that oat throughout the house potentially cause
allergic reactions. Those spores also start new mold colonies and
expand existing ones. Airfree® destroys airborne mold and mildew
spores, helping to prevent new contaminations.
Odors
Airfree® can reduce some odors like “mildew smell” and other organic
odors.
Kitchens and Pantries
The reduction of airborne fungi and spores in areas protected by Airfree®
helps prevent mildew on food.

Populated rooms, corridors, and elevators offer a constant contamination
risk to employees and guests. This situation is aggravated by the ow of
hazardous fungi and other microbes entering through the A/C system, and
the ozone generated by computers and photocopiers. The spread of
airborne transmittable diseases can accelerate in this environment. Airfree®
is a powerful weapon in the reduction of airborne contamination by viruses,
bacteria, fungi, and a myriad of allergens.
Libraries and Museums
The fungi spores that become mold or mildew are always present. When
the temperature and moisture in the environment are suitable for germina-
tion, the spore bursts and growth begins. This growth contaminates books,
clothing, documents, and works of art. Airfree® destroys mold and mildew,
providing a healthier environment for users and employees.
Schools, Kindergartens
Airborne transmittable diseases are a great concern for students, parents,
teachers, and principals. Inuenza, meningitis, rubeolla, and other nasty
microbes ow freely in the air. The use of Airfree® in classrooms demons-
trates the principal’s concern for their students and staff well being. It also
reduce school exposure to lawsuits, like with mold-affected diseases so
may common throughout the USA.
Hospitals, Clinics and Laboratories
Airborne contamination is quite a concern for most hospitals. With Airfree®,
the hospital environment becomes safer. Airfree®is indispensable in
waiting rooms, inrmaries, and recovery rooms due to its efciency in
destroying airborne viruses bacteria, and fungi. Airfree®also reduces
ozone that can affect patients with respiratory ailments. Laboratories no
longer need to stop all activities for chemical air desinfection, gaining
working hours.
Restaurants
Airfree® offers continuous air sterilization. Silently, Airfree® provides the
additional protection that patrons expect. All viruses and bacteria that pass
through Airfree’s patented sterilizing ceramic core are destroyed.
Restaurants are recommended to submit their oor plans to insure proper
covera-ge inside their facilities.
Hotels and Retire Homes
The use of Airfree® in guest rooms shows concern on behalf of the hotel to
its guests well being. The use of Airfree® can contribute to a higher
occupancy rate and may provide a good line of defense in case of lawsuits.
Airfree® has independent tests proving its efciency.
Applications

Pollens
Pollens are no exception and like other microorganims are totally
destroyed when passing through Airfree® patented sterilizing core. After
being incinerated the resulting harmless particles are released back to the
environment.
Ozone (O3)
Ozone is a very toxic gas that according to EPA can damage lung tissue,
cause chest pain, throat irritation and trigger asthma. The FDA, the US
Food and Drug Administration, recommends not to use any equipment
directly or indirectly generating ozone in Hospitals or where the patients
are present.
Airfree® is proven to reduce ozone levels in 26%, every time air passes
through its ceramic core.

Airfree® destroys all airborne microscopic threatening microorganisms
cited above including the smallest microbes like those of meningitis,
pneumonia and scarlet fever, that can not be trapped in air lters or in
other equipment using different technologies. Scientists conrm that virus,
fungus, and bacteria molecular structure (composed by proteins), can not
survive high temperatures as those seen inside Airfree® patented ceramic
core.
Dust Mites
Many allergic reactions are caused by dust mites.
The ne dust generated from their skeletons and excrements contain
hazardous fungus and allergens that when inhaled cause allergic reactions.
Those allergens and fungus are totally destroyed inside Airfree® ceramic
core.
Fungus reduction by Airfree® in the indoor environment also reduces dust
mite population as they need certain types of fungus to survive.

Guide for Airfree® installation in mold contaminated rooms:
1 - Install your Airfree® unit in accordance with the user manual.
2 - Allow your unit to run for at least one week to achieve signicant
airborne mold spore reduction.
3 - Clean mold infected items and surfaces, since they are a continu-
ous source of new spores.
It is important to stress that Airfree® will not destroy or remove mold
from an infected item or surface. Those surfaces must be cleaned
manually.
Airfree® will prevent spores released by existing mold colonies from
contaminating other areas, and will inhibit the growth of existing and
new colonies.

Installing and
Connecting
Plug power cord to the nearest outlet.
Make sure the surface is dry (never place Airfree® on wet oor or immerge in
water). Make sure side blue led is on.
Switch on dimmer (Available in Airfree® P1000, P2000, Onix 3000) and the
anti-stress light should glow from the top lid (1). After 10 minutes the top lid
should be warm.
Place Airfree® on the oor. Do not install it under furniture or shelves,
behind curtains as it will reduce air ow and Airfree® efciency in reducing
microorganisms.
Place each Airfree® in rooms up to 450 sq. ft. (42m²) for P1000 or
550 sq. ft. (51m²) for P2000 or 650 sq. ft. (61m²) for Onix 3000. For larger
rooms use proportionally additional Airfree® units. The use of just one
Airfree ® in rooms larger than recommended will reduce Airfree® efciency.
Airfree® must be continuously on in the same room, 24 hours a day.
Airfree® can only be used in rooms with minimum air volume of
330 cu. ft. (10m³), free of obstacles.
Airfree® can be installed in rooms equipped with air conditioning and heating
systems. However it is recommended not to place Airfree® nearby them to
avoid potential interference in Airfree® air ow.
Do not place Airfree® in the corridor to try to reach the whole house. In this
case Airfree® will only reduce air pollution in the corridor area.
Airfree® shall not be placed near doors or under windows to avoid sterilized
air to exit the room.

How Airfree®works?
Contaminated air silently enters Airfree® by air convection and is sterilized
inside Airfree® patented ceramic core where all microorganisms are destroyed/
incinerated at high temperatures. Regardless of how hazardous a virus, fungus
or bacteria might be they can not resist the powerful heat inside the ceramic core
and are incinerated. The heat inside the ceramic core forces sterilized air out to
the heat exchanger causing air convection, which generates negative pressure
underneath the ceramic core, so contaminated air is “sucked” in at Airfree® bottom
air inlets in a continuous and silent thus efcient air ow.
The association of the ceramic core, special ceramic and air ow reduces at the
same time toxic ozone.

FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
1. How does Airfree®work?
Airfree® incinerates microorganisms at its heated capillaries. Contaminated air
is dragged into Airfree’s ceramic core by air convection and microorganisms are
destroyed at high temperatures regardless of how resistant and dangerous they
might be.
2. Are there any side effects?
No. Airfree’s new technology uses heat to purify the air. No side effects, no
emissions, NO IONS, nor new particles are generated. Airfree® should be used in
all homes and ofces, quietly, constantly, and efciently purifying the air.
3. My Airfree®
Cause 1: Airfree® incorporates an automatic energy-saving feature by automati-
cally shutting off the ceramic core when it has reached a temperature range to
facilitate air convection (air in the room is drawn into the machine to destroy impu-
rities, contaminants and odors). The ceramic core shuts down for a few minutes,
the indicator light turns off, and the top lights emitting diode (L.E.D.) blinks. Airfree®
continues to sterilize the air during this time. This indicates the conservation of
electric power consumption and the preservation of the ceramic core.
Cause 2: Another contributory factor to Airfree’s blinking occurrence is the ambient
air (air in the environment). When the ambient air reaches 95 ºF (35ºC), Airfree®
auto-regulates itself with the ceramic core “shut off” for a few minutes but still con-
tinues with its sterilizing activity (the blinking of the top lights and the fade away of
the side LED on models P1000/ P2000/ Onix 3000 and just the fade away of the
side LED on model E60, signals this occurrence). In this process energy is con-
served and Airfree’s safety mechanism is enhanced.
Cause 3: Airfree® incorporates state of the art electronics detecting any improper
placement or device malfunctioning. If the top lights does not stop blinking, please
ensure that your Airfree® unit is in the upright position. If the top and bottom air
inlets are free of blockage, the blinking may be due to a faulty electrical outlet.
Please plug it in into a proper outlet. If in the next 10 minutes the top lights
continues blin-king and your Airfree® unit is correctly installed, this indicates that
the device may be malfunctioning. Please promptly contact your dealer in such
case.
4. Is there any risk when the top light of Airfree®
No. When Airfree® electronics detect any irregularity it automatically shuts off the

7. Can I use Airfree®in air conditioned rooms?
Yes.
8. How do I know if Airfree®is no longer working?
Check the top lid, if warm Airfree® is working.
9. Can I place Airfree®at the corridor to reach the whole house?
No. Airfree will just reduce air pollution in the corridor’s area.
10. Can I place Airfree®in a closed room?
Yes. Please remember such a room must have at least 330cu.ft. (10m³)*.
* as a reference 330cu.ft. is approximately 7’x7’.
11. Does Airfree®eliminate bacteria and viruses?
Yes. Unlike the air lters in the market Airfree® is more efcient with the
smallest microorganisms as they are easily carried by Airfree’s airow into its
heated ceramic core.
12. Can I change Airfree®from one room to another?
Airfree® must always be plugged in the same room 24 hours a day. Airfree’s
patented technology works gradually and cannot have its cycle interrupted.
Moving it from one room to another will interrupt the cycle and will recontaminate
the room. See question 13 bellow.
13. Should I turn off Airfree®when I leave house?
No. Airfree® must always be on.

FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
15. Does CADR measure the effectiveness of the Airfree®?
Not at all. CADR is not designed to test the Airfree® technology.
The AHAM seal (usually found on the back of an air cleaner’s box) lists three Clean
Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers: one for tobacco smoke, one for pollen and one
for dust. The CADR indicates volume of ltered air delivered by an air cleaner. The
higher the tobacco smoke, pollen and dust numbers, the faster the unit lters the
air.
The main reason why CADR is not designed for Airfree®is because Aifree does not
lter but destroys microorganisms instead, CADR only applies to volume of ltered
air delivered by an air cleaner as stated above.
CADR does not measure microorganism reduction like mold and bacteria only de-
tectable by a microbiology lab.
Airfree® destroys (not trap or attract to other surface) any microorganism regardless
of how small they might be. 99,99% of all organic particles are fully destroyed when
passing through the Airfree® U.S. patented ceramic core.
16. How does Airfree®destroy dust mites?
Mold reduction in the environment causes reduction in the mold dependant dust
mite population.
Airfree® also destroys the harmful toxins and fungus freed by dust mite feces that
trigger respiratory allergies.
17. How does Airfree®eliminate fungi?
As mentioned before, Airfree® eliminates airborne microorganisms included
fungi and spores. By eliminating spores new colonies are unlikely to develop,
representing less future airborne spores.
18. How does Airfree®destroy viruses?
Those microscopic microorganisms are easily eliminated inside Airfree’s ceramic
core capillaries. The temperature inside of Aifree’s capillaries is much higher than
required to incinerate them. Airfree® is your greatest ally in respiratory disease
prevention.
19. Does Airfree®reduce tobacco smell?
Yes, Airfree® reduces any kind of organic smell in the ambience including to-
bacco.
20. Does Airfree®release any gas or chemical product?
No. Airfree’s sterilization process is natural. Please check our website for conclusive
tests regarding particles and ozone.
