4Operating the device
The basic functionalities of the device, such as purification power and
brightness of the lights, can be controlled directly from the capacitive
buttons on the glass front panel. Adding timers, monitoring the condition of
the filter, performing updates, and many other features require the use of a
mobile application. Both usage methods will be presented in the following
sections.
4.1 Front Panel User Interface
The user interface of the device's front panel consists of four illuminated
buttons and a six-step (5 + "MAX") light circle indicating the purification
power.
1) Bluetooth® button. The color of the light indicates the status of
Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi connection.
2) Minus button reduces the purification power or brightness of the
lights.
3) Indicator of the normal purification power range (20–80 m3/h).
4) Maximum power indicator. The LED light indicates when the
maximum power (140 m3/h) is in use.
5) Plus button increases the purification power or brightness of the
lights.
6) Timer button, illuminated when the timer is activated. Pressing the
button toggles the timer on or off. Timers can be added only with
the mobile app. This button is also used for factory reset.

U n i q A i r | 9
The device can be operated manually with the buttons on the glass front
panel.
1. If none of the lights on the power range indicator are on, start the
device by pressing the plus button. The device will start working at
level 1, indicated by the first light turning blue.
2. Adjust the purification power to desired level using the plus and
minus buttons. The round power range indicator shows the
selected power setting. To activate maximum power, press the plus
button once more when all the lights on the power indicator are
on. The "MAX" text in the middle of the power scale will turn blue.
3. If desired, turn off the unit by pressing the minus button several
times until none of the blue power-setting lights are on.
The brightness of the front panel lights may need to be dimmed, for example,
if the device is in a bedroom. The lights will dim when the minus button is
held down. The brightness can be restored to normal by pressing and
holding the plus button.
4.2 Mobile application
Many of the device's features can only be accessed with the UniqAir Uniq
mobile application. Examples of features in the app:
•Automatic adjustment of fan speed using timers.
•The application shows the estimated condition of the main
filter and notifies the user when it's time to replace it.
•Firmware of the Uniq 2 purifier can be updated with the
application. Downloading the update requires the device to
be connected to a WiFi network.
The UniqAir Uniq application can be downloaded from the Google Play
and App Store for Android and iOS devices. Detailed instructions on
connecting the device and using the features can be found in the
application.

5Service and Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Turn the device off and unplug the power cord before
performing any maintenance. The fan will not stop rotating immediately:
after switching the device off, wait a moment before starting maintenance
work.
5.1 Replacing the prefilter
We recommend a prefilter change interval of 4-6 months when the device
is in continuous use. The prefilter can also be vacuumed and/or washed if
necessary, enabling a longer change interval. If you wash the prefilter, let it
dry completely before installation.
To replace the prefilter, follow the instructions on section 7.2, down to the
prefilter handling instructions.
5.2 Replacing the main filter
We recommend replacing the main filter every 12 months if the estimate
provided by the mobile application is not used. The air purifier calculates an
estimate of the filter's condition based on usage, which can be viewed as a
percentage from 0 to 100% in the mobile application. The main filter should
be replaced when the estimated filter condition approaches zero.
The estimate does not take into account the actual quality of the filtered air.
Therefore, the main filter should be replaced at shorter intervals if the user
notices a decline in filtering efficiency.
Instructions for replacing the main filter can be found in section 7.2 and at
www.uniqair.fi/downloads.
5.3 Cleaning the device
Dust and other dirt can be removed from the external surface of the device
with a damp cloth. The felt back cover can be vacuumed with a brush
nozzle.
NOTE! Exercise caution when vacuuming the back cover, which is easily
scratched.

U n i q A i r | 11
5.4 Recycling
NOTE! Always follow local regulations when disposing of the device, its
parts, or the transport packaging.
Transport packaging
The transport packaging of the air purifier is completely recyclable. Sort the
packaging parts (cardboard, plastic) into the appropriate collection
containers.
Prefilters
Dispose of used prefilters as energy waste.
Main filters
We recommend that you return used main filters to your UniqAir contact
person or reseller. This will allow us to ensure their proper recycling.
When ordering a new main filter, you can return the used filter in the
packaging in which the new filter arrived. We will provide a return form and
address label with the new filter if you order it from our online store.
If returning used filters is not possible, they can be disposed of as landfill
waste.
If you have any questions about recycling or disposing of filters, contact
your local authority or your UniqAir dealer.

7.3 Replacing the Main Filter
1. Unplug the air purifier.
2. Place the purifier on a flat surface with the glass panel facing down.
NOTE! If you place the air purifier on a hard surface, you should protect
the glass panel with a cloth or other soft material.

U n i q A i r | 17
3. Using a cross-head screwdriver, turn the rear cover quick-release
screws (4 screws) 90 degrees counterclockwise, until the screws
pop out.
4. After loosening all four quick-release screws, lift the back cover
vertically upwards. NOTE! The quick-release screws should remain
in the holes in the back cover.
5. Remove the EPP disc from on top of the filter and lift the filter out
of the air purifier.
6. If necessary, replace or wash the pre-filter fitted around the outer
circumference of the main filter.
7. Fit the newly cleaned pre-filter around the outer circumference of
the new main filter, and place the filter assembly perpendicularly
back into the air purifier.
8. Place the EPP disc on top of the filter assembly with the convex

9. Replace the back cover by aligning the screws on the four brackets,
keeping the logo at the top and fitting the semi-circular opening on
the edge of the cover against the stand.
NOTE! The edge of the back cover should fit inside the perforated band
around the perimeter of the air purifier. The easiest way to do this is to
place the top edge (logo side) of the back cover inside the perforated
band first, and then the bottom edge.
10. Lock the screws into their brackets by pressing them with your
finger or lightly with a screwdriver, for example. NOTE! There is no
need to turn the screws.
11. Lift the air purifier back into place and plug in the power cord. The
