To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to person(s) read the following:
Running Environment Cautions
Unit Operation
Use only a 220-240 volt outlet with grounding wire receptacle.
Do not use the unit in an enclosed space where oxygen, flammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given off
by oil base paint, paint thinner, some moth proofing substances. It may cause explosion or fire.
The product cannot be used in high-temperature, wet or watery places. Best working condition is 0-40
0
C
and relative humidity of < 75%.
Do not operate the unit without filters. Make sure remove plastic packaging from the filters before operation.
Do not use the unit if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the wall outlet is loose.
When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull by the cord.
Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands. Electrical shock or fire from short circuit may occur.
To avoid causing fire do not attempt to disassemble the unit - only certified technicians should do this.
Stop the unit and unplug the power when maintenance.
Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the intake or air outlet.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as range or where it may be exposed to steam.
Do not wipe the outside, inside or any parts of the unit with flammable substances, it may cause fire!
Do not wash or reuse the HEPA filter and Activated carbon filter.
Photo catalytic is permanent, never needs replacing. When there is dust on it, clean the dust off using a
vacuum cleaner dusting brush. Do not wash it in water.
Safety Precautions
05

When the DC fan motor is running, the indoor air will be drawn through the bottom of the unit. The air will then
pass through the HEPA filter, the Activated carbon filter and the UV-C+ Photo catalytic Nano-TiO2 chamber.
The purified air is then released through the outlet on the top of the unit. The Negative ion generators near the
air outlet releases revitalizing negative ions into the air to refresh the air.
06
How it Works
1. The nylon net on the outside of the HEPA filter traps large
dust particles.
2. The high efficiency HEPA filter removes microscopic particles in the air.
3. The activated carbon filter will absorb odors and gases.
4. The UV lamp kill bacteria and viral microorganisms such as influenza,
TB and Legionnaire's Disease as well as other harmful contaminants.
5. When UV light hits the photo catalytic filter, it creates e- and h+,
which have an excellent effect in the decomposition of odors.
6. The unit also generates negative ions that freshens the room air.
The air is cleansed in six stages.
1. The UV radiation destroys the DNA structure of bacteria and
kills pathogenic microorganisms.
2. The UV ray wavelength is 254 nm, and the average
intensity of UV ray irradiation is 24μW/cm2at a position
1m below the UV lamp.
Sterilization Factor

07
Features and Specifications
The unit has a nylon net (traps large dust particles), HEPA filter (remove particles), Activated carbon filter
(absorbs odors and gases), UV-C+ lamp + Photo catalytic Nano-TiO2(killing airborne pathogen) and
Negative ion generators (revitalize and refresh the air).
1. The odor and particle sensor can let the unit automatically select the appropriate fan speed depending on the
air quality detected.
2. The unit can be operated completely with the wave of your hand, making it suitable in medical settings to
avoid cross contamination.
3. The unit is also equipped with a safety interlock switch that will turn the power off if the bottom plate is opened.
4. The indicator lights tell you when to replace the HEPA filter, Activated carbon filter or the UV lamp.

3. After the plastic bottom is removed, pull out the power cord of the UV lamp, open the unit lock (Pic.2) and
take out the HEPA filter and the Activated carbon filter to remove the plastic cover.
5. Put the HEPA filter and Activated carbon filter back into unit. Align the blue arrow with blue arrow, turn the
unit lock clockwise until the blue arrow is aligned with the letter C on the bottom plate. (Pic.3)
6. Re-connect the UV power cord, install the unit bottom by rotating clockwise the same with the Step5.( Pic.4)

Operation1
Plug the power cord in and you will hear a “Beep”. The small, inner circle will turn white - this indicates the air
purifier is in standby mode. Use your hand to wave over the sensor, this waving motion turns the unit on & off,
and can also adjust the fan speed.
(Wave 1) Wave your hand the 1st time and the blue circle will turn white-
low speed.
(Wave 2) Wave a 2nd time, the second circle will light up - medium
speed.
(Wave 3) Wave a 3rd time, the third circle will light up - high speed.
(Wave 4) Wave a 4th time, all the circles light up white - turbo speed.
(Wave 5) Wave a 5th time, the “AUTO” indicator will light up.
This is Auto Mode -
the unit will operate on low speed and will adjust speeds accordingly
based on what pollution the sensors pick un in the air.
(Wave 6) Wave 6th time, the unit goes back to standby Mode and the
inner circle turns back to blue.
Hover & hold your hand over the sensor for 2 seconds and this will lock the
unit at the desired speed. This will prevent accidental or unwanted speed changes.
To unlock this feature, hover & hold your hand over the sensor again for 2 seconds.
