PRODUCT INFORMATION

GENERAL

The HR 4340 is suitable for rooms / areas with a floor surface of

The air cleaner cleans the air effectively by catching 90% of the
gases and 95% of the particles produced by smoking.

This is done by 3 filters :

Foam pre-filter : The foam pre - filter catches the larger

dust particles floating in the air such as
fluff and hairs.

HEPA filter HR4940 : This filter takes out all smaller airborne

particles.

Carbon filter : The carbon filter with activated carbon

granulates (HR4941) effectively absorbes
the smoke gases.

Product meets the requirements regarding interference
suppression on radio and T.V.

This has to be done when the white part of the indicator has
turned pink like the other (pink) half.

Speed control: With 3 speed settings.

Safety lock: Prevents the customer from opening the front

cover whilst the air cleaner is switched on.
The front cover can only be opened, if the switch has been set to
the “0" position.

Overheating safety device: The overheating safety device
comes into operation when the motor becomes too hot. To
indicate that the appliance is still in “ON” position and connected
to the mains, the pilot light remains on.

− After approx. 15 min. the air cleaner can be

switched on again.
