H2O, O3, VOC
Among the wide range of air ionisers available on the market, the JONIX cube ioniser is a
top of the range device that combines high performance and a modern and attractive design.
This air ioniser promotes the controlled formation of particular ionic species (electrically charged
species) in the air, through an electrostatic field that simulates the natural process that normally
occurs through solar radiation, mechanically or by means of other physical phenomena. The
particular ionic species produced are historically and scientifically proven to be beneficial in
people, especially those with a negative electrical charge (arising from individual or small groups
of molecules that receive an electron).
The feature that makes the JONIX cube stand
out compared to similar products is the use of
next generation ionising units, characterised
by high efficiency and selectivity, which do not
produce any significant increase of undesirable
sub-products in irritating or even toxic amounts.
Other important features of the device are:
-
Low power consumption.
- Strong deodorising action: it fights odours caused by smoke, cooking food, pets, footwear,
sportswear, etc., giving the room an intense scent of fresh air.
- Natural process :it does not use or produce chemicals.

7.1 WARNINGS
7 - MAINTENANCE
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION MAKE SURE THAT THE
DEVICE IS NOT AND CANNOT ACCIDENTALLY BE POWERED ELECTRICALLY.
YOU MUST THEREFORE UNPLUG THE DEVICE BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
MAINTENANCE.
• Itisthedutyoftheusertoperformallthemaintenanceoperationsonthedevicelistedbelow.
• Ifyouexperienceamalfunction,unplugthedevicefromthemainsandcontactqualifiedstaff
(retailer, the Manufacturer).
Fig. 03: Switch the ioniser off by switching
the On/Off button to O.
The JONIX cube device requires little maintenance, consisting in periodically and regularly
cleaning the ionising generators and mesh filter to protect the fan.
The device signals the need for maintenance of the generators, through the indicator light shown
on the display, every 900 hours of operation.
However, when operating in highly contaminated environments, the electronics of the device
could intervene even if this time has not yet elapsed.
7.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
7.2.1 Cleaning the ionising generators
The frequency of the operations to be performed to ensure proper maintenance of the sanitising
devices depends mainly on the quality of the treated air. Failure to perform adequate and
systematic maintenance over time can result in a structural and functional deterioration of the
device and of its performance.
Clean the ionising generators whenever the
corresponding LED starts blinking.
Flashing LED: maintenance required

Fig. 04: Put the device on a flat surface.
Remove the plug connected to the mains.
Fig. 06: Gently unscrew the ionising
generators by acting on the glass surface
that can be reached by hand through
the special slots. Remove the mesh
surrounding the tube.
If this is too difficult, turn the
mesh slightly around the glass.
Fig. 07: Clean the glass using a damp
cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners or
sprays, soap or the like.
Check that the ionizing generator is in good conditions: there must not be any cracks
or other damage; otherwise it must be replaced.
As soon as you notice a whitish layer on the perforated metal plate inside the glass it
means that the ionising generator needs replacing.
The ionizing generators must usually be replaced within 18 months of use.

water and dry it thoroughly with a cloth.
Attention: ensure that the mesh is
perfectly dry before putting it back!
Fig. 09: Put the outer metal mesh back on
the glass tube so that it fully overlaps the
internal plate.
In any case ensure a minimum
distance of at least 3 mm from
the base of the generator.
Fig. 10: Screw the ionizing generators
back into place by acting again on the
glass surface that can be reached by hand
through the special slots.
ATTENTION: do not overtighten the screw
after reaching its end stop.
Check that the earthing spring
is in contact with the outer
mesh once the ionising tubes
have been screwed back into
place. Otherwise contact the
manufacturer.
The manufacturer is not liable
for any damage to the device
caused by the presence of hu-
midity or water on the outer
mesh.

drop in system performance.
The ionising generators can be
re-enabled only after the light
has gone off.
Fig. 14: Remove the filter cover by
pressing the sides and pulling towards you.
Clean the filter at the bottom of the device during every tube maintenance operation. However, we
suggest checking periodically the filter status and quickly removing any dust residues and any
other residues that may block the air flow.
