ION:
Ionizers use electricity to create negative electrons. These electrons stream into the air and
attract oxygen molecules. At this point, they become negative ions and are attracted to
airborne particles. These molecules build up around the particles until they become too
heavy to remain air borne and fall to the ground.
ALARM:
The alarm will sound and the ALARM LED will illuminate if a malfunction is detected. The
appliance will shut down automatically if the internal temperature is too high. Disconnect the
appliance from the mains socket outlet and wait for 15 minutes before re-‐connecting the
