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.
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.
