A powerful, silent, fan motor draws the air through the main grill. 3. Dirty air passes through a prefilter "E" that removes the larger airborne particles such as lint, dust and pollen. The partially filtered air is then drawn through a long-life HEPA filter with a large surface area, easily distinguishable by its plastic frame. This HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter removes particles as small as 0. 1 micron, filtering all kinds of particles and even bacteria. 4. The air then passes through an activated carbon filter which removes odours; the filter is dark grey and is easily distinguished by its highly porous appearance; IONIZER IONIZER PRE-FILTER ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER HEPA FILTER 5. Purified air is then returned to the room. 6. When switched on, an independently controlled ionizer releases a cloud of negative ions into the outgoing filtered air; 7. When coming into contact with the negative ions, small airborne particles become negatively charged. These can then combine with positively charged particles to form larger particles which are subsequently filtered by the purifier; 8. The negative ions help create a better balance of ions in the room as, generally, there is a predominance of positive ions over negative ones. 3) and wash it by hand in hot soapy water. The life of the HEPA and active carbon filters depends on the conditions in which the unit is operated. Indicatively, in normal conditions, the HEPA filters should last about six months and the active carbon filters from two to three months. To check the efficiency of the HEPA filter, compare the colour of the filter with the colours shown in the "B" filter condition indicator inside the filter access door. When the filter changes from white to dark grey or brown, it should be replaced. Do not wash the activated carbon filter or the HEPA filter; once exhausted, these filters can no longer be used. 5.
