Congratulations for having purchased your Airfree.
Airfree air purifiers are manufactured under license of US Patent 5,874,050, and many other patents pending worldwide. Airfree was designed with most advanced American and German technologies, to drastically destroy indoor airborne micro organisms and reduce ozone.
Different from other air purifier manufacturers, Airfree does not spend much time in describing fancy technologies with difficult words and theories. Airfree offers independent efficiency tests instead.
For every Airfree claim there is one independent test to prove it!
Please carefully read this manual to achieve the best air purifying results.
Enjoy your Airfree.

The Invisible
Enemies
Most people spe fice.
The EPA – Environmental Protection Agency, claims the quality of air indoors can be 100 times worse than outdoors.
Some factors contribute to indoor contamination:
- High concentration of people in rooms increase fungus, bacteria and virus development, and cross contamination;
- New building insulation techniques reduce outside air interchanges and con sequently air conditioning running cost, but in turn drastically increase mold, and bacteria colonies
- Deficient air conditioning duct cleaning
- Concentration of organic material such as books, carpeting, curtains, and sofas.
Good air quality indoors is a must for those affected by respiratory diseases and allergies.
Contaminated indoor air (fungus, airborne allergens, pollens, ozone) can trigger
- Asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, and sinusitis
- Fungal infections in immune depressed patients
- Eye, throat and nose irritation
- Headaches, lethargy, irritability
- Cough and difficulty in concentration

Relation between microorganisms and related diseases.
Inocolums(*) X Virulency (**) Human Resistance
(*) Quantity of microorganisms (**) Microorganism aggressiveness
The higher “Inocolums” and “Virulency” and or the lower “Human resistance” results in greater contamination risk to people. The main contamination causes are several types of fungus, some of them already resistant to the most powerful chemicals and poisons, bacteria, viruses, and the fine dust from dust mite faeces and skeletons that contain powerful allergens and hazardous fungus, and the sea sonal pollens.
Airfree can safely and silently destroy those allergens

Applications
Healthy rooms with pure clean air:
The efficient and noiseless Airfree technology safely destroys mold spores, bacteria, viruses and other airborne organic microorganisms.
Respiratory allergies and Asthma
Airfree drastically reduces airborne organic allergens and Ozone, provid ing cleaner and safer environment for allergic people. Airfree destroys mold spores, bacteria, viruses, dust mite allergens, pet dander and re duces Ozone, all kept to minimum levels.
Children and Newborns
Studies demonstrate that reducing dust mite allergen exposure to young children will lessen the development of asthma.
Mold and Mildew:
Airborne Mold spores that float throughout the house potentially cause allergic reactions. Those spores also start new mold colonies and ex­pand existing ones. Airfree destroys airborne mold and mildew spores, helping to prevent new contaminations.
Odors:
Airfree can reduce some odors like “mildew smell” and other organic odors.

Kitchens and Pantries
The reduction of airborne fungi and spores in areas protected by Airfree helps to prevent mildew on food.
Video, films, slides, sound and optical equipment
The reduction of airborne spores in rooms protected by Airfree provides the best environment to store cameras, videos, pictures, slides, nega tives and any device potentially affected by fungi. Quietly and safely Air­free protects your belongings and memories.
Yatches, Cruisers
Airfree safely eliminates fungi spores, mold, mildew, dust mites, bacteria, and strange odors. Many of which contribute to many common problems to boat owners.

Offices, Public Buildings,
Applications
Populated rooms, corridors, and elevators offer a constant contamination risk to employees and guests. This situation is aggravated by the flow of haz ardous fungi and other microbes entering through the A/C system, and the ozone generated by computers and photocopiers. The spread of airborne transmittable diseases can accelerate in this environment. Airfree is a power ful weapon in the reduction of airborne contamination by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and a myriad of allergens.
Libraries and Museums:
The fungi spores that become mold or mildew are always present. When the temperature and moisture in the environment are suitable for germination, the spore bursts and growth begins. This growth contaminates books, cloth ing, documents, and works of art. Airfree destroys mold and mildew, provid­ing a healthier environment for users and employees.
Schools, Kindergartens: Airborne transmittable diseases are a great concern for students, parents, teachers, and principals. Influenza, meningitis, rubeolla, and other nasty mi­crobes flow freely in the air. The use of Airfree in classrooms demonstrates the principal’s concern for their students and staff well being. It also reduce school exposure to lawsuits, like with mold-affected diseases so may com­mon throughout the USA.
Hospitals, Clinics and Laboratories:
Airborne contamination is quite a concern for most hospitals. With Airfree, the hospital environment becomes safer. Airfree is indispensable in waiting rooms, infirmaries, and recovery rooms due to its efficiency in destroying airborne viruses bacteria, and fungi. Airfree also reduces ozone that can affect patients with respiratory ailments. Laboratories no longer need to stop all activities for chemical air desinfection, gaining working hours.

Restaurants
Airfree offers continuous air sterilization. Silently, Airfree provides the additional protection that patrons expect. All viruses and bacteria that pass through Airfree’s patented sterilizing ceramic core are destroyed. Restaurants are recommended to submit their floor plans to insure proper coverage inside their facilities.
Hotels and Retire Homes:
The use of Airfree in guest rooms shows concern on behalf of the hotel to its guests well being. The use of Airfree can contribute to a higher occupancy rate and may provide a good line of defense in case of lawsuits. Airfree has independent tests proving its efficiency.

Applications
Pollens
Pollens are no exception and like microorganims are totally destroyed when passing through Airfree patented sterilizing core. After being incinerated the resulting harmless particles are released back to the environment.
Ozone (O3)
Ozone is a very toxic gas that according to EPA can damage lung tissue, cause chest pain, throat irritation and trigger asthma. The FDA, the US Food and Drug Administration, recommends not to use any equipment directly or indirectly generating ozone in Hospitals or where the patients are present. Airfree is proven to reduce ozone levels in 26%, every time air passes through its ceramic core.
Viruses, Bacteria, Fungus and Germs
Airfree destroys all airborne microscopic threatening microorganisms cited above including the smallest microbes like those of meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever that can not be trapped in air filters or in other equipment using different technologies. Scientists confirm that virus, fungi and bacteria molecular structure (composed by proteins), can not survive high temperatures as those seen inside Airfree patented ceramic core.
Dust Mites
Many allergic reactions are caused by dust mites. The fine dust generated from their skeletons and excements contain hazardous fungus and allergens that when inhaled cause allergic reactions. Those allergens and fungus are totally destroyed inside Airfree ceramic core. Fungus reduction by Airfree in the indoor environment also reduces dust mite population as they need certain types of fungus to survive.

Airfree and Mold
Guide for Airfree Installation in Mold contaminated rooms
1 - Install your Airfree unit in accordance with the user manual 2 - Allow your unit to run for at least one week to achieve significant airborne mold spore reduction. 3 - Clean mold infected items and surfaces, since they are a continuous source of new spores.
It is important to stress that Airfree will not destroy or remove mold from an infected item or surface. Those surfaces must be cleaned manually.
Airfree will prevent spores released by existing mold colonies from contaminating other areas, and will inhibit the growth of existing colonies.

Installing and
Connecting
Plug power cord to the nearest outlet. Make sure the surface is dry (never place Airfree in wet floor or immerge in water) After 10 minutes the top lid should be warm.
Place Airfree on the floor. Do not install it under furniture or shelves, behind curtains as it will reduce air flow and Airfree efficiency in reducing microorganisms.
10
Place each Airfree in rooms up to 216 sq. ft. (24m²) . For larger rooms use proportionally additional Airfree units. The use of just one Airfree in rooms larger than recommended will considerable reduce Airfree efficiency.
Airfree must be continuously on in the same room 24 hours/ day.
Page 13
Installing and
Connecting
Airfree can only be used in rooms with minimum air volume of 330 cu. ft. (10 m3), free of obstacles.
Airfree can be installed in rooms equipped with air conditioning and heating systems. However it is recommended not to place Airfree nearby them to avoid potential interference in Airfree air flow.
Do not place Airfree in the corridor to try to reach the whole house. In this case Airfree will only reduce air pollution in the corridor area.
Airfree works better in rooms with windows closed. Nevertheless open ing up window in the morning for one hour or two hours to allow air in­terchange with the outside will not affect Airfree efficiency. Airfree shall not be placed near doors or under windows to avoid sterilized air to exit the room.
