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 maybe necessary, depending on the air quality. Replace the filters regularly as instructed.

Information on Indoor Pollutants:
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) – VOC’s come from motor vehicle exhausts, gasoline vapour, pollutants such as
formaldehyde, ammonia and many other common and chemical solvents - like paints and glues or can be a by­product of mould growth. VOC’s 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 VOC’s. 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 Berkeley, have reported that emissions from office equipment like, computers and printers etc. include VOC’s, ultra-fine particles and ozone. These emissions have been proven to have a negative effect on the health of many people.
Using HEPA and Carbon Activated filters, Plasma Ionization, VOC Filter, TIO2 photocatalyst and UV light.
An effective HEPA filter is absolutely necessary to remove particles, even at a microscopic level; it ensures that the particles are not spread. Plasma Ioniser will sterilise the air and reduce bacterial growth.
UV light dramatically improve Indoor Air Quality by destroying airborne bio-contaminants such as viruses and bacteria which may be a leading cause infections and discomfort. Ultraviolet air treatment systems have been used for more than 50 years in hospitals and various other healthcare industries but with the advent of small high-efficiency UV Lamps now the technology finds place in the domestic environment.
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is achieved when you combine UV light rays with a TiO2 (titanium oxide) coated filter. Your ElectriQ air purifier features an advanced VOC Filter coated with TiO2 filter. This process of photo catalytic oxidation creates hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions, which are highly reactive electrons which will react with other elements in the air such as bacteria and especially VOCs. Once bound together, the chemical reaction takes place between the super-charged particle and the pollutant, effectively burning ("oxidizing") the pollutant. This breaks the pollutant down into harmless carbon dioxide and water molecules, making the air even cleaner.
The antibacterial activated carbon is a natural material biosynthesized from walnut shell, the adsorption area of activated carbon is very large up to 900,000 square meters. The activated carbon filter will absorb unpleasant odours and will help decomposing VOCs when combined with the TIO2 filter and UV light.

Diagram of the air purifier
PRE-FILTER: Captures initial dust and allergen particles
ACTIVATED CARBON: Absorb formaldehyde, benzene and other noxious gases.
HEPA: Captures dust, smoke, pollen and other allergens.
UV-C LIGHT: Destroys micro-organisms such as germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi (such as mold).
PCO: When photocatalyst titanium dioxide (TiO2) absorbs Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, it will produce a
chemical reaction that help remove oxidise VOCs, Odors and kill the germs.
Note: for maximum efficiency UV lamp cover is coated with TiO2
Ion: Negative ion improves the air quality by combining with dust or reacting with odor molecules
attached on the wall. Plenty of negative ions exist in natural surroundings such as waterfalls or forests. In this mode, negative ions bring the room air close to this natural environment.
