Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
For maximum performance and safety, the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 20cm. Keep away from other electrical appliances.
Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every two weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.EAP120HC provides 5 stages of air purification using professional air filtration and intelligent sterilization technologies. This unit features advanced all-in-one dual photocatalytic HEPA and an activated carbon filter for improved air filtration.

– Primary filters, made of non-woven materials, are used for removing large particles like hair and dust.
– Antibacterial HEPA filter to remove 99.9% of airborne particles of 0.25 micrometers or larger.
– Activated carbon filter removes unpleasant odors and absorbs harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzenes.
– Photocatalytic filter with molecular sieve adsorption layer removes smaller particles and decompose further the pollutants.
– Plasma Ioniser sterilizes even further and removes mold spores and allergens from the air.
The EAP120HC also features an air quality LED indicator that will help in monitoring the quality of the air.

Applications:
– Personal use in domestic and office space to improve air quality
– Helps smokers to minimize the effects of smoking
– Helps asthma and pollen sufferers
– Great for children’s rooms and small offices
NOTE: This air purifier is not a substitute for proper ventilation, regular vacuum cleaning or for the use of a cooker hood whilst cooking. If the humidity is over 60% Relative Humidity we recommend using a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity.

Air Puriﬁer Features and Indoor Pollutants

VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) – VOCs come from motor vehicle exhausts, gasoline vapor, pollutants such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and many other common and chemical solvents such as paints and glues, or can be a by-product of mold growth. VOCs cause irritation to the eyes and or nose as well as causing headaches, nausea, and even potential damage to the central nervous system. Pressed wood furniture, newly decorated rooms, paint, and cleaning solvents are common sources of VOCs.
Mold / Fungus – these can affect our respiratory system and cause allergic reactions, like a runny nose, eye and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue, and aggravation of asthma.
Other indoor pollutants include – bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and pollen, etc.
Emissions from electronic office equipment – Many studies, including those from EPA and the University of California Berkley, have reported that emissions from office equipment like computers and printers, including VOCs, ultra-fine particles, and ozone.
These emissions have been proven to have a negative effect on the health of many people which can be reduced by busing an air purifier.
Using HEPA filters, Activated Carbon filters, and Plasma Ionisation – An effective HEPA filter is absolutely necessary to remove particles, even at a microscopic level; it ensures that the particles are not spread. Plasma Ionisers will sterilize the air and reduce bacterial growth.
The antibacterial activated carbon on the EAP120HC is a natural material biosynthesized from the walnut shell, the adsorption area of activated carbon is very large up to 300,000
square meters. The activated carbon filter will absorb unpleasant odors and reduce the VOC content in the air.
The Plasma Ioniser will sterilize the air and reduce bacterial growth.

Operation
