DXAPV3N Air Purifier
WARNING:
Please read before use these instructions and keep them for future
reference.
The DXAPV3 Dimplex Air Purifier has been designed to improve the quality of
indoor air, reducing the presence of polluting agents such as dust, cigarette
smoke, unpleasant odours, spores, bacteria, pollen, dust mite residues, pet
dander etc.
Air passes through an active carbon filter which helps to eliminate dust and
odours such as cigarette smoke. The air is then passed through a HEPA filter,
able to retain 99.97% of polluting particles with a microscopic size of 0,3µm
upwards; such as pollen, dust mites, mould spores and bacteria.
Air purification is assisted with the built-in Dimplex Viro³ Enviro-neutralising
Technology.
Enviro-neutralising Technology
The Viro³ Enviro-neutralising Technology generates a balance of positive and
negative ions from water vapour in the air. These ions cluster around harmful
substances such as airborne mould, viruses and allergens, changing their
chemical make-up and rendering them inactive and harmless to the human
body. The negative ions produced by the Viro³ Enviro-neutralising Technology,
are similar to those which can be found in uncontaminated areas of nature
such as waterfalls, beaches and in the mountains. They enrich the air and
naturally give a sensation of clean air, reducing psychophysical stress.
The DXAPV3N has two airflow speeds with a max air flow rate of 44m³/H. It
has a low power consumption of 25W and is suitable for environments of a
size up to 55m².
