3.2 Positioning the device
Equipped with wheels, the UniqAir PRO is easy to place anywhere in a
room.
To ensure the greatest effectiveness, make sure that the air flow is as
unobstructed as possible in front and on the sides of the device. If possible,
place the device so that no wall, cabinet or other furniture impedes airflow
in the vicinity of the device.
NOTE! The device is intended for use in an upright position only. Keep the
air cleaner upright on its wheels during operation and transfer.
3.3 Connecting the power cord
Follow these steps to connect the power cord:
1. Open the top cover of the device by lifting the cover from the edge.
2. Take the power cord out from below the cover.
3. Check that the power cord is externally intact.
WARNING! Electrical safety hazard. Only use an intact power cord to
connect the device. If the cord is damaged, contact UniqAir Customer
Service.
4. Connect the power cord to the connector on the bottom of the
device.
NOTE! Due to the type of connector, the cable can only be connected in
one way. Do not force the power cord into the connector.
5. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical
outlet.
NOTE! The mains voltage of the outlet must correspond to the voltage
indicated on the type plate.
WARNING! Electrical safety hazard. Only connect the appliance to a

effect.
4Service and maintenance
IMPORTANT! Before performing maintenance, make sure that the
appliance is switched off by unplugging the power cord.

The prefilter should be replaced every 3-4 months.
The prefilter is located below the top cover. The prefilter is held in place by
the loose wooden frame on top of it.
1. Lift the prefilter and the wooden frame simultaneously from the
side opposite the hinges, so that they fit past the hinges of the
cover.
2. Lift the prefilter and the wooden frame out of the device.
3. Place the wooden frame on top of the new prefilter.
4. Make sure that the airflow direction arrow marked on the prefilter
is pointing downwards.
5. Lower the new prefilter and the wooden frame back into the same
position inside the device.
6. Make sure that the prefilter is straight and firmly in place.

The UniqAir PRO air cleaner power connector
is equipped with its own fuse.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the
device.
2. Open the fuse box of the power
connector by pulling on the tabs
circled in the adjacent picture. The
tabs are the easiest to grip by placing
your thumb on top and your index finger underneath.

fuses (see adjacent figure):
•The rear (1) fuse is in use.
•The front (2) fuse is a spare,
unused.

the rear fuse so that it pops up and
falls through the hole in the bottom
of the fuse box. Use a pen or similar object to help you press the
fuse.
5. Press the front fuse in the same way. The fuse
will pop up at an angle, allowing you to remove
it with your fingers.
6. If the fuse is tight, gently press it from below
through the hole in the bottom of the fuse box
(see adjacent figure).
