Introducing your INOVA-E8 system.
Optional 2.4kg Activated Carbon Filter
Standard system and filters
The INOVA-E8 system box will contain the air purifier with the HEPA filter and Pre-
filter pre-installed inside as well as a power cable and this instruction manual.

If you have ordered the optional 2.4kg activated carbon filter,
this is supplied in a separate box and will need to be installed
into the INOVA-E8 system before use.
The activated carbon filter simply slots into the centre of the
preinstalled HEPA filter.
For more information please see page 13.

Important safety instructions
1. Do not detach baseplate or attempt to access filters until the system has been
switched off.
2. Disconnect power, or unplug, before cleaning, performing any maintenance
or replacing a filter.
3. Use caution when moving the air purifier to avoid injury. We suggest removing
the filters prior to lifting or transporting the system.
4. Do not operate unless all components are fully assembled, securely latched
and in the upright position. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
5. Leave a distance of at least 150mm between the appliance and the nearest
wall to allow for adequate air circulation.
6. Always keep air intake and outlet of the unit unobstructed.
7. Do not use near water or moisture or the immediate surroundings of a bath,
shower, or swimming pool.
8. Do not immerse the air purifier in water or any other liquid.
9. Do not let objects, or liquid, enter the product.
10. Do not handle any part of the appliance or plug with wet hands.
11 . Clean only with a dry cloth.
12. Do not install near any heat sources.
13 . Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, is not working
correctly, or has been dropped.
14. Do not use this appliance if it has been damaged or submerged in water.
15 . The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury

Please read these instructions before operating
the INOVA-E8 and keep for future reference.
16. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new cord.
Contact our support team for a replacement.
17. Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
18. Refer all servicing to qualified INOVA service personal. Servicing is required
when the product has been damaged in any way. Do not attempt to service
this product yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltages or other hazards and may void warranty.
19. Unplug the air purifier during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods.
20. Do not use this appliance as sole protection against harmful pollutants.
21. Do not use outdoors.
22. Keep the appliance away from flammable liquids, vapours, air fresheners and
essential oils.
23. Do not use in explosive or flammable environments.
24. Use only on solid, horizontal, and stable surfaces.

How the INOVA-E8 works
5

Air is drawn into the system through the vents on the sides
into the filter compartment at the bottom of the unit.
Air then passes through the dust pre-filter and on to the
H13 medical-grade HEPA filter which removes allergens,
viruses, bacteria and other sub-micron fine particle matter.
Chemicals and odours are also removed from the air by
optional final stage activated carbon filter (if installed).
The high-efficiency centrifugal fan pulls the filtered air up
into the top of the system.
The purified air is then returned to the room via the high
air-flow diffuser.

4 simple steps to cleaner air

Positioning your INOVA-E8 system
There are two main points to consider: where you spend your time and where the
main pollutants are.
The longer you keep your INOVA-E8 in a single room, the cleaner the air in that
room will be. As with a heater or air conditioner, the INOVA purifier will only be
effective if windows are closed during operation.
Your INOVA-E8 works best when it has plenty of unrestricted airflow around it.
It is also important to make sure the air purifier has easy access to a power outlet as
long cords can be a tripping hazard and may result in damage to the unit should it
be knocked over.

System operation
4-SPEED CONTROLLER
POWER CORD SOCKET
The system has 4 speed settings and uses an energy efficient European AC fan.
Power consumption is relative to the selected speed.
Control position
The higher the speed, the more times per hour the air in your living space will be
cleaned, so it is recommended to run the system at the highest speed you are com-
fortable with.
Higher fan speeds will generate higher sound levels.
Generally for sleeping, an ideal setting is position 1.

Low Med High Max Speed level
Please note, there can be a delay
of up to 20 seconds before the fan
is running at the speed you have
selected.

Tips for getting the most out of your system
Always operate the system with windows closed
Air purifiers are not designed to filter the great outdoors, like an air conditioner or heater
leaving a window open will render the system ineffective. Use of evaporative coolers will also
reduce effectiveness.
Operate the system 24/7
As dust, allergens, and chemicals are always present in the air, for maximum effectiveness
you should operate the system continuously. By switching the system off you are only allowing
these contaminants to build up in the interim until it is switched back on. INOVA systems are
designed for optimal energy efficiency – so don’t be concerned about power consumption
as this will barely be noticeable on an electricity bill.
Decide where you need clean air the most
Typically for allergy and asthma sufferers, use while sleeping will be an important part of how
you use your air purifier. If you have a high capacity system with adequate coverage, it can
be moved between living areas during the day and the bedroom at night. Operation for 15-
30mins on high speed will dramatically reduce the bulk of airborne particulates when moving
into a new room.
Enclose the area where you are operating the system
If you close a bedroom door the system will be much more effective as it will only be filtering
air in the one room. If you move to larger areas, if possible, close off surrounding areas to
maintain clean air in that space. INOVA-E8 models are designed primarily for bedroom use,
while the higher capacity INOVA-E20 and DE20 systems are designed to cover large living
areas and be moved to bedrooms for night-time use.
Operate at the highest speed you are comfortable with
All INOVA systems include variable speed controls and the speed should be varied
depending on the room size, the level of air pollutants present, and the sensitivity of the
individual. The higher the operating speed the more effective the system will be, as the purifier
will be filtering the air more times every hour resulting in lower levels of particles and certain
chemicals. When operating smaller systems in larger areas, increase the operating speed to
enable the system to filter the air more effectively.
