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. So ionizing helps reduce the static electricity created by rugs, carpets, televisions and computer screens. 9. You are recommended to use the ionizer not more than two to three hours per day. With more prolonged use, the dust may settle on walls and floors and thus become more visible.

Unpack the air purifier and place it either vertically (upright), horizontally, or wallmounted in such a way that the air intake grill and air outlet are free from obstructions. An ideal position is near a wall in a central location. Wall mounting Your unit can be wall mounted. Use a drill to make two holes 19.2 cm apart (26.5 cm DAP 130) (fig. 4). Insert the pressure screws into the holes then hang the unit. 2.After checking that the voltage of your home corresponds to that indicated on the appliance, plug it in to the power point; 3.Set the desired operating speed with the selector M; the pilot light will come on; 4.To release negative ions into the air through the purifier, switch on the ionizer; the pilot light will come on; 5.To reach the best level of air filtration, continuous use of the purifier is recommended. Its sturdy motor has been designed to guarantee many years of operation. For continual use, you are recommended not to run the fan at maximum speed. For lower noise levels or in the bedroom, select SLEEP mode. If there are large quantities of impurities in the room, select the highest position for faster air circulation and filtering. CLEANING THE APPLIANCE Clean the outside of the air purifier with a soft, clean, damp cloth to remove dust, grime and fingerprints. The prefilter E can be removed (fig. 3) and washed separately in warm, soapy water (NOT in a dishwasher). Dry the components carefully before replacing. WARNING: Do not use water to clean the purifier. 8 GB 4-02-2002 9:33 Pagina 9 MAINTENANCE AND FILTER REPLACEMENT 1.Check the condition of the filters and prefilter periodically. Proceed as follows: 2. Remove the filter Cartridge (fig. 2). Check the prefilter. If there is a considerable accumulation of dust and other impurities, remove the prefilter from the filter Cartridge (fig. 3) and wash it by hand in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing. 3. 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. 4. 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.De Longhi replacement filters are available from our service centres and from home appliance retailers. Replacing the filters · Remove the filter access door. · Press the filter Cartridge downwards until it is released. · Extract the filter Cartridge. · Check the filters as described above. · To replace the active carbon filters, proceed as follows: lift the used filter from one end and remove from its housing. Insert the new filter, making sure to position it correctly under the special tabs. ELEC TR IC A L C O N N EC TIO N ( U K ONLY) A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug. B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below: As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red. 9 GB 4-02-2002 9:33 Pagina 10 10
