Genano®4500
Medical Air Purification Device
Genano 4500 is an air purification
device based on Genano
Technology®. The unique
technology removes even the
smallest impurities from indoor
air. These impurities can consist of
viruses, bacteria, mould spores as
well as traffic originated soot.
Genano 4500 doesn’t have
traditional fiber filters, so there
is no risk for a breeding ground
for microbes forming inside the
unit even in humid conditions. In
Genano technology, a gas absorber
is used for the removal of harmful
gases and ozone.
Dirty air in
Using and taking care of
the Genano unit is easy.
Genano 4500 is self-
cleaning and requires
only regular filling of
Genano washing fluid
and emptying the flush
water bowl.

1 Genano 4500 unit with mains power cable
Contains 1 gas absorption plate to handle gas emissions. Make
sure absorption plate is changed annually. The absorption plate
change and other service measures are included in the service
agreement.
1 plastic flush water bowl
Empty the bowl on a regular basis every month and clean away
any remaining residue with a moist towel. Notice that there is no
contamination risk from bacteria or viruses from the dirt in the
bowl as the cleaning process eliminates all microbes. The basin
can be sterilized in an autoclave if wanted.
* Can be equipped with a negative and/or positive pressure
adaptor kit to create spaces with negative / positive air pressure.

TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A ROOM
Genano 4500 is to be positioned to stand vertically on an even base.
The unit has wheels on the bottom for portability. Genano 4500 is equipped with
four wheels, of which two can be locked.
Move the unit carefully over doorsteps and over obstacles by tilting.
Genano 4500 takes in the contaminated air from the bottom. The purified air is let
out through the upper part of the unit.
Before use
WARNING! Never use the unit in a place where for example flammable gases
and liquids or large amounts of dust in the air may form an explosive mixture
ignited by a spark.
Do not use the unit in spaces without normal ventilation. Make sure you have
sufficient ventilation!
NOTE! If possible, always transport the unit vertically. If this is not possible, and
you need to transport the unit horizontally, empty the washing fluid container
and make sure the front of the unit is facing upwards during transport. Let the
device dry in a vertical position for at least 8 hours before turning it back on.
The device is always to be used vertically. Only use and store the unit indoors.

6
Place the unit so that the furniture in the room influences the course of the
air flow as little as possible. The unit is to be placed so that it circulates the air
the same way the air normally circulates in the room. The best effect is usually
achieved when the unit is placed near the air income.
The best level of air purification is reached near the unit. Therefore, the best place
for the unit in a big room is near a workstation. The unit can also be placed near
sources of problematic particles to prevent the particles from spreading.
By adjusting the fan settings the production of purified air can be increased.
Genano experts will help you with questions regarding indoor air quality and
placement of the unit and fan settings. Follow the instructions given by your
Genano expert to ensure the best possible outcome.

into a grounded power socket (230V / 50Hz).
5. Push the main switch into ON-position.
NOTE! Genonex washing liquid is ready for use without addition of water.
NOTE! Lock the bottom basin when operated near children or pets.

NORMAL OPERATION
The unit is functioning and purifying air when the green OK light (A) is illuminated.
The unit efficiently collects atmospheric particles on the collection surfaces inside
the unit. Washing of the collection surfaces takes place automatically once a
week. During the flushing of the collection surface the green WASH light (B) is on.
Operation of the device
NOTE! The green WASH light (B) is on until the drying period has ended.
After the washing cycle the unit is drying. During the drying the unit is silent and
the green WASH light (B) is on. Do not open the basin when the unit is washing or
drying.
The washing cycle lasts less than a minute and the drying period can vary from
minutes up to 8 hours. The unit continues operation automatically when the
drying period is over.
NOTE! It is recommended to let the unit be continuously ON to ensure the
weekly washing and good air quality. If the unit is not ON automatic wash may
be missed.
NOTE! The unit needs to be ON when adding washing liquid. Do not turn it OFF.
RUNNING OUT OF WASHING LIQUID
If the container has run out of washing liquid, the unit is unable to perform the
automatic washing function. When this happens the yellow ADD WASHING
LIQUID light (E) turns on.
The unit will continue its normal operation even if one automatic wash cycle is
missed due to a lack of washing liquid.
If washing liquid is not added within a week, the unit stops and the red SERVICE
light (D) lights up.
Replace the Genonex washing liquid container according to instructions given on
page 7. Do not switch OFF the unit.

10
ERROR/SERVICE
Genano 4500 has an internal monitoring system. This feature protects the unit
and increases the drying period if parts are too wet after the washing. It is comple-
tely normal that the drying period is increased due to the monitoring.
However, if the drying takes an abnormally long time and the unit will not turn on
(the OK light, see A on page 8, does not turn on) there may be a malfunction.
A straightforward indication of a malfunction is the ERROR/SERVICE light (see D
on page 8) turning on and staying lit.
If the ERROR/SERVICE light is on make sure that the bottom basin door is closed.
Then try resetting the unit (see instructions below). If the malfunction does not go
away, contact an authorised Genano service representative.
Resetting the program settings
1. Switch OFF the unit and wait about 20 seconds.
2. Switch ON the unit.
THE BOTTOM BASIN
If the bottom basin is opened during normal operation, the red ERROR/SERVICE
light (see D on page 8) and the yellow CLOSE BASIN light (see C on page 8) turn
on and the unit stops the air purification. The unit continues purifying air only after
the basin is closed.
When the bottom basin is open, non-purified air cannot flow through the unit, as
the gas absorption plate prevents the flow of air when the fan is not on.
Genano washing liquids are environmentally friendly. In normal home and office
use, the dirty flush water can be poured into the sewer. If the unit is used to
remove hazardous material, dispose of the dirt according to environmental regu-
lations.
NOTE! Empty and clean the flush water bowl regularly. The bowl can be
cleaned with a soft material or if need be, sterilized in an autoclave (max. 120
°C). There is no risk of contamination from microbes in the flush water bowl as
the Genano cleaning process eliminates living microbes.
WARNING! Only use approved Genano washing liquids in Genano units.

11
GAS ABSORPTION PLATE
Besides particles, the Genano unit can also remove gases. Using a gas absorp-
tion plate, different kinds of gases can be removed from indoor air. The typical
exchange period of the gas absorption plate is 12 months.
POWER WASH
Power wash can be used if the unit is under heavy duty use in a location where
the air has a particularly large amount of particles.
It is recommended that the power wash be performed every 6 months even when
the unit is not used in an especially demanding environment.
Empty the flush water basin and fill the washing liquid container before performing
the power wash.
After the power wash, check the cleanness of the rinsing water. If necessary, you
can repeat the power wash.
The power wash is performed by pressing the POWER WASH switch (see H on
page 8) and holding it down until the fan stops and the unit starts the wash cycle
(about 5 seconds). The unit continues purifying air automatically after the wash. If
the power wash is done several times the unit needs more time to dry and start
automatically.
The change of the gas absorption plate as well as other service measurements
are included in the service agreement. Units that have a service agreement are
in Genano’s service register and the service personnel will arrive for the yearly
service without a separate call.
WARNING! Do not operate the Genano 4500 unit without the gas absorption
plate!
NOTE! The gas absorption plate is to be changed once a year. Replacement of
the gas absorption plate can only be performed by service personnel autho-
rised by Genano Ltd.
