Switch the unit OFF, when
cleaning a room.
After cleaning, it is important
to ventilate the room properly
before switching the unit back
ON.
Daily room ventilation for at
least 30 minutes.
The unit is designed to purify
and sterilize your indoor air and
will do this effectively when
used correctly. Good indoor
air quality also requires room
ventilation. We recommend
opening windows and doors, or
operating the air conditioning,
for a least 30 minutes a day.
Switch the unit OFF, while
cooking.
Oils released while cooking may
reduce the life span of the ster-
ilizer. After cooking, the room
must be ventilated to remove
oils. You may now switch the
unit ON to remove any smells.
Position the unit at least 3 me-
ters away from the bed,
to avoid excessive cooling
caused from sleeping in direct
airow.
Airow must NOT be restricted
or obstructed,
by large items such as furni-
ture, electronic items or cur-
tains.
Use a dedicated power outlet.
Lightning or static electricity
could affect the circuit and may
cause a re or damage the unit.
To avoid this, plug the unit into
a dedicated, grounded outlet.
Do not alter or modify the plug
or cord of this unit as it could
cause a re or an electric
shock.
To protect against a risk of
electric shock, do not immerse
any part of the system in water
or in any other liquids.
Do not attempt to repair or
replace any part of this equip-
ment unless it is specically
recommended in this manual.
All other services should be re-
ferred to a qualied technician.
Plug the unit into a 220V AC
outlet only, if unsupervised, it
may cause an electric shock.
Use the proper power cable
and outlet, do not over-load
the outlets with several cords
simultaneously.
Keep the product away from
inammable gases, liquids, or
other combustible substances,
as this could cause an explosion.

slide the lter case out of the top of the unit ②.
b) Slide out and separate the pre-lter ③from the
HEPA lter ④. Ensure you have removed the
HEPA lter before washing the pre-lter.
c) Clean the pre-lter by using a vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning with warm water is also possible, however
allow the lter to dry completely before reinstalling.
You can now put the lters back into the case and
place this back into your VK 401. Make sure that
the carbon part of the lter is facing the back on
the unit. Close the lter handle, and the unit can be
switched back on.
