3. Place the unit on a firm, level surface, ensuring adequate space around it for air circulation (at least 20 cm from walls or furniture).

Instal·lació de filtres

The air purifier uses a multi-stage filtration system to ensure clean air. Ensure all filters are correctly installed before first use.

Figura 2: lateral view of the air purifier, illustrating the filter compartment access.

The filtration system includes a pre-filter, activated carbon filter, and HEPA H13 filter. These filters capture at least 99.9% of airborne pollutants, including PM2.5, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and pollen. The humidifying filter also removes salts and microorganisms from water.
