1. Short notes for the use
The air purifier alfda ALR300 Comfort is easy to use. In addition to the built-in timer function, it can be controlled with
an external conventional time switch.
For effective air cleaning, we recommend to proceed as follows:
•Ventilate extensively 2 - 3 times daily, and then turn on the air cleaner.
•In order to achieve an optimal air cleaning, the air cleaner may be operated at least as long as a 2-time purification
of the room air volume is achieved.
Examples for running times:
Room size minimum running time fan speed
~12 m2 / 30 m3 ~ 50 Min. 1 (low)
~12 m2 / 30 m3 ~ 10 Min. 3 (high)
~20 m2 / 50 m3 ~ 70 Min. 1 (low)
~20 m2 / 50 m3 ~ 20 Min. 3 (high)
~40 m2 / 100 m3 ~ 70 Min 2 (medium)
~60 m2 / 150 m3 ~ 60 Min. 3 (high)
Additionally, you can use the air purifier in automatic mode.
Using in a sleeping room: We recommend a time limited running with high fan speed after the airing of the room
and before going to bed. If requested, you can use the sleep mode whole night. The window can remain open. In
the case of pollen place the air cleaner between the open window and the bed area.
We recommend to use the ionization in the sleeping area only short term as this can cause bad sleep for sensitive
people.
2. Cautions concerning operation
•Please unpack the filter before use, otherwise there will be no filter effect. The air purifier can also be damaged!
•Never block the air intake and the air outlet of the unit.
•Place the air purifier not in the area of heatings, stoves, etc. and avoid grease aerosols, heat and splash in and at
the unit.
•Please unplug the power cord when the unit is not used for a long time.
•To clean the housing do not use water or detergent to avoid damage.
3. Function and property
•Pre plastic filter with a mesh size of less than 0,7 mm: to filter coarse particles (declining dust, some spores
and pollen types) and bird dust from the air.
•Dense Blue cotton filter: Anti-bacterial filter. It can remove the big particles in the air. It can also kill the bacterial
in the air.
•HIMOP filter (High Efficiency Multi oxidation pottery and Porcelain Granule): HIMOP is a kind of high efficiency
grain ceramics with strong oxidizing property. It is honeycombed with passages which can capture all kinds of
organic pollutant in the air and break it down to water and Carbon dioxide. It's the most advanced filtration
technology to remove the indoor formaldehyde. It can remove 93.4% formaldehyde, 99.9% benzene and toluene
in 3 hours. (Testing by "Institute for environmental health and related product safety Chinese center for disease
control and prevention" according to Chinese national standard (GB/T18801-2002).)
•HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particulate Airfilter): of High efficiency. Removes smoke and dust of 0.3 micron. The
filtrating rate is as high as 99%.
•Fresh air ionizer could be switched on or off: Negative charges ions (about 3.000.00 / cm3) effectively refresh
the indoor air.

6. Placement
1. Keep 20 cm distance to the wall, 50 cm distance at air inlets
and 2 m distance to the ceiling
2. Keep 2 m distance to Multi-Media-Products
3. Do not place the air cleaner in the sun.
4. The air purifier does not replace the necessary ventilation
(oxygenation) especially in rooms with fireplaces.
Important: The air cleaner is not suitable to filter ouily,
greasy air! It is not suitable to be placed in production areas!
Please notice the following samples for placing the air leaner, because this is important for a good cleaning result:
If the room size is larger than 60 m2 / 150 m3 or the room is very winding, you may place two air cleaners.
One air cleaner with much more than 300 m3/h air quantity makes a good cleaning result all over the room area
difficult and could cause drafts due to the high air flow frequently.
7. Operation
To get the best result of air cleaning, place the unit where air circulation is good and place the unit near the source of
polluted air.

S e i t e 5 | 8
Method of Operation
Connect the power: Connecting the power, the unit will start to work when it is plugged in. The initial mode will be
medium-fan-mode (without ionizer function).
Anschluss des Netzkabels: Once the power cord is connected , the unit starts to work in medium-fan-mode, the
ionizer is turned off, the LEDs light up briefly and the particle sensor is activated.
On / Off-button: Pressing the power button, the unit will be switched off/on.
If the unit is switched on again, the last selected mode will be activated and could be changed then.
Fan Speed-button: Press the button for selection of fan speed. The LED screen will indicate one
sign for low speed, two for medium and three for high and a sign for the PM 2,5 -Sensor-controlled
automatic operation.
Press the button to use the timer function. According your selection, the air cleaner will run for 4, 8
or 12 hours. The Timer-Function can be combined with all other functions.
If the Sleep-Mode is selected, the air cleaner works very quiet with reduced air quantity. All LEDs will
be switched off after 10 seconds, except of the one for indication the sleep mode. So the LEDs do
not interfere in the dark in the room.
The sleep-Mode can be combined with timer-function and / or ionizer. By pressing any button, the
sleep-mode will be switched off.
Press the button for Ionizer. The LED will show the operation.
External timer: The air cleaner can be connected with external timer to set the working time. The
unit has to be switched on. The initial mode will be medium-fan-speed with switched of ionizer. The
external timer is not included in the scope of delivery.
Air quality indication and AUTO-Mode with intelligent PM 2.5 - Sensor Control
1. The air purifier measures the air quality by using an intelligent dust
sensor and displays it in color:
blue = clean air
yellow = deterioration of air quality
red = high air pollution
The as fine dust (PM2.5) called dust fraction contains 50% of the particles having a diameter of 2.5 microns, a higher
proportion of smaller particles and a lower proportion of larger particles. Particles of this size can go up in the air sacs.
They are at most as large as bacteria and therefore cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The air quality assessment already takes into account the guideline by the WHO (World Health Organization) valid
from 2020. That means, that the PM 2.5 value will be below 20 ug / m3 for the indication of clean air (blue)
For an optimal and sustainable air cleaning result we recommend the use as described under item 1 and 6.

9. Maintenance
For maintenance please disconnect the unit from power to avoid an electric shock. Never clean the filters with
water to avoid changes to the shape of the filters. The pre-filter and the blue cotton filter should be cleaned
carefully with a vacuum cleaner every 4-6 months.
The sensor for air quality measurement has to be cleaned about every 3-6 weeks.
To do this, carefully remove the cover and clean the sensor with a clean water
moistened swab. Please do not use alcohol or other cleaning agents, because the
sensor otherwise would be damaged.
10.Filter Replacement / Spare Filters
The plastic pre-filter can be used permanently. If it is damaged, it must be replaced.
The average operative time of the multi-filter is 1.5 years at an average 4-hour operation per day. This extent to the
way of use and air pollution. Strong tobacco smoke for example will shorten the using time of the filter.
If the unit is not used for a long time, we recommend to take the filter out of the unit and put it inside an airtight foil.
The spare filters can be obtained from authorized dealers.
11. Failure and Solutions
Please refer to the following before contacting Customer Service Centre for service / repair:
Unit does not work: Check if the power cord is plugged in correctly, power is available and the front panel is installed
correctly.
The Remote Control does not work: Please check whether the battery is placed correctly and has enough capacity.
Probably change the battery (size CR2032). The remote control must be directed at the unit`s front site with the IF-
Sensor.
The air leaner is noisy: Check, if the foil of the filters is still inside and remove it.
Unable to remove odors or dirt in the air. Loud operation noise level: Please make sure, that air intake and air
outlet are not blocked and clean them carefully with a vacuum cleaner. Take the filter unit out of the air cleaner and
clean the pre-filter und filter-set carefully with a vacuum cleaner or replace the filter-set by a new one.
The air quality indicator is not working or constantly shows "red": Clean the dust sensor carefully as described
before. Please note that this sensor detects only the health concern particles (PM 2.5) and therefore does not
respond to any dust. (However, this does not diminish the power of the air cleaning over the entire particle size range.)
