99�97% of airborne particles, mould, pollen and

other allergens down to 0�3 microns�

3. An Active Carbon Filter (C) removes household

odours and noxious gases�

to attract airborne particulates and cause them to

coalesce into larger clusters so that they can easily

be ltered�

5. An Ultraviolet Lamp irradiates UV-C rays around the

fan and disinfects ltered air� Through continuous

operation of the purier, the air is circularly
