DESCRIPTION OF PARTS
PRE-FILTER. Its main function is to filter the coarsest particles, which consequently allows for extending the
life of the HEPA filter.
COTTON PRE-FILTER. It is capable of decomposing odours in the air.
HEPA FILTER. It can filter particles with a diameter above 0.3 microns and effectively eliminates pollen,
smoke, animal hairs, mould and dust.
HIMOP (High Efficiency Multi Oxidation Porcelain) FILTER. Made of ceramic and biopolymers, it is
endowed with strong oxidising properties for destroying odours and toxic gases in the environment, such
as formaldehyde.
IONISER/PLASMA. Generates a large amount of negative ions. Household air is filled with positive ions
generated by many appliances such as television sets and radios. Using the ANION mode helps to
release plenty of negative ions which naturally abound in areas renowned for their high well-being, such
as mountainous areas. The air becomes fresh and crisp, just like mountain air.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
APPLIANCE START-UP
Place the product on a flat and stable heat-
resistant surface, at least 1 metre away from
flammable or heat-sensitive materials and 50
cm away from walls or other objects.
Connect the power cord to a suitable
electric socket (220-240V/50Hz).
Remove the plastic seal from the HIMOP +
HEPA filters prior to using the appliance, and
place it inside the air purifier as shown in the
adjacent sequence.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
Insert the batteries into the remote control, while respecting the
indicated polarities.
Only use type CR2025 batteries. Remove the batteries if the remote
control is not used for a month or longer. Do not attempt to recharge the
batteries. Change all batteries at the same time. Do not throw the
batteries into a fire, as they may explode.
If you do not expect to use the remote control for a
long time, store it in its appropriate slot on the side of
the air purifier.
For optimal operation of the remote control, point
the head of the transmitter towards the receiver
located on the air purifier.
INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC
Please replace the battery when flat: at the end of its working life, the battery must not be disposed of together with
unsorted waste. It must be delivered to appropriate separated waste disposal facilities or to dealers that provide a
similar service. Separate waste disposal of batteries prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human
health due to inadequate disposal, and also allows for recovering and recycling their constituent materials, resulting in
significant savings in terms of energy and resources. The separate disposal obligation is underlined by the crossed-out
dustbin symbol appearing on the batteries. Illegal disposal of the product by the user shall result in the application of
administrative sanctions as defined by current regulations.
