SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important!
•Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit.
•This appliance is for indoor use only.
•This unit must only be connected to a 220-240V / 50Hz outlet.
•Installation must be in accordance with regulations of the country where the unit is
used.
•If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply, have it
checked and, if necessary, modified by a qualified electrician.
•This air purifier has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical
appliance –use it with care.
•Disconnect the air purifier from the socket when changing the filters or cleaning
the unit.
•Avoid touching any moving parts within the appliance.
•Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through the guard.
•This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for use by those
with a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
•Do not leave children unsupervised with this device.
•Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water. Use a damp cloth
only. Never allow water or vapours to enter the unit.
•Do not clean with strong chemical agents or other abrasive materials.
•Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If a power
outlet is not available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician.
•Never operate this appliance if the cord or power supply are damaged. Ensure the
power cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp objects/edges.
•A damaged power supply should be replaced by the manufacturer. Never extend
or attempt to change the power supply lead.
•Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed
by an authorised service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided
warranty.
•Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

4
•Avoid removing the power cord from the socket whilst the unit is still in operation.
This could cause electrical damage.
•Never use the power supply as a switch to start and turn off the air purifier. Use
the provided ON/OFF button located on the control panel.
•Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.
•The use of accessory attachments that have not been approved by the appliance
manufacturer is not recommended, as this may result in fire, cause an electric
shock and/or cause personal injury.
•Ensure hands are fully dried before plugging or unplugging the appliance.
•The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms.
•Only use essential oils specifically designed for use with an aroma diffuser,
following the manufacturers safety instructions.
•The use of unsuitable substances may result in toxic gas or present a risk of fire.
•Only place essential oils within the diffuser unit. Allowing the oils to come into
contact with other parts of the appliance may result in damage.
Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips
•Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
•For maximum performance and safety, the minimum distance from a wall or
objects should be 30cm. Keep away from other electrical appliances.
•Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need
cleaning once every two weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove
airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on
the air quality.

ABOUT YOUR AIR PURIFIER
The EAP120HC-WIFI provides multiple stages of air purification using professional air
filtration and intelligent sterilisation technologies. This unit features advanced HEPA and
activated carbon filters for improved air filtration.
•Primary filter, made of non-woven materials, are used for removing large particles like
hair and dust.
•Antibacterial HEPA filter to remove 99.9% of airborne particles of 0.25 micrometres or
larger.
•Activated carbon filter removes unpleasant odours and absorbs harmful substances
such as formaldehydes and benzenes.
The EAP120HC-WIFI also features an air quality indicator that will provide a visual indication
of the current air quality.
In addition the appliance can be connected to your home network, allowing settings to be
changed and the device to be monitored through your smartphone from anywhere in the
world. The app also provides the ability to program the air purifier for even smarter
operation.
Applications:
•Personal use in domestic and office space to improve air quality
•Helps smokers to reduce contaminants within the air
•Can help improve the symptoms of asthma and pollen allergies.
•Great for children’s rooms and small offices
NOTE: This air purifier is not a substitute for proper ventilation, regular vacuum cleaning or
for use in place of a cooker hood whilst cooking. If the relative humidity is above 60% we
recommend using a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity.

INFORMATION ON INDOOR POLLUTANTS
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound): VOCs come from motor vehicle exhausts, gasoline
vapour, pollutants such as formaldehyde, ammonia and many other common and chemical
solvents such as paints and glues, or can be a by-product of mould growth. VOCs cause
irritation to the eyes and or nose as well as causing headaches, nausea and even potential
damage to the central nervous system. Pressed wood furniture, newly decorated rooms,
paint and cleaning solvents are common sources of VOCs.
Mould / Fungus: These can affect our respiratory system and cause allergic reactions, like a
runny nose, eye and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue and aggravation of asthma.
Other indoor pollutants include bacteria, viruses, dust mites and pollen.
Emissions from electronic office equipment: Many studies, including those from EPA and
the University of California Berkley, have reported that emissions from office equipment
such as computers and printers, include VOCs, ultra-fine particles and ozone. These
emissions have been proven to have a negative effect on the health of many people which
can be reduced by using an air purifier.
Using HEPA filters and Activated Carbon filters: An effective HEPA filter is absolutely
necessary to remove particles, even at a microscopic level; it ensures that the particles are
not spread.
The antibacterial activated carbon on the EAP120HC-WIFI is a natural material
biosynthesized from walnut shell, the absorption area of activated carbon is very large at up
to 300,000 square meters. The activated carbon filter will absorb unpleasant odours and
reduce the VOC content in the air.
The Plasma Ioniser will sterilise the air and reduce bacterial growth.

CONNECTION TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Check whether the device is powered on and is in the correct WIFI connection mode, if
not please refer to the CHANGING BETWEEN CONNECTION MODES section.
2. Ensure the WIFI password has been entered into the app correctly (Case sensitive)
3. Check that the phone is connected to the WIFI you are connecting the device to.
4. Ensure the network you are connecting it to is 2.4Ghz (5Ghz WIFI networks are not
supported), and that there is a strong WIFI signal to the item.
5. If your router is dual band, ensure that the 2.4ghz network has a different network name
(SSID). Further advice on changing router settings will be available from your Internet
service provider / Router manufacturer.
6. Check the settings on the router. Encryption should be WPA2-PSK and authorisation type
should be set to AES
7. Try using the alternative connection method. i.e. If connection is failing when attempting
to connect through CF mode, try AP mode.
