Overview

The pureAir 500 is a compact air purifier designed to enhance indoor air quality in living spaces. It operates with a focus on low maintenance, providing a cleaner environment through a combination of ionization, HEPA-type filtration, and activated oxygen generation.

Function Description

The primary function of the pureAir 500 is to purify the air by addressing various pollutants. It employs ionization to charge airborne particulates, causing them to clump together and settle out of the breathing space. This process is complemented by HEPA-type filtration, which, in conjunction with a carbon filter, effectively removes airborne particulates such as smoke, pollen, and pet dander. For more intensive purification, the device can generate safe levels of activated oxygen (O3) to destroy bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew in the air and on surfaces.

Usage Features

The pureAir 500 offers three distinct operating modes, each indicated by a different light color, making it easy to understand the current purification level:

  • Ionization Mode (Green Light): This is the unit's default mode. In this mode, the device utilizes ionization to charge particulates in the air, causing them to fall out of the breathing space. Simultaneously, a HEPA-type filter with a carbon layer works to remove common airborne irritants like smoke, pollen, and pet dander. This mode is suitable for continuous operation in occupied spaces.

  • Purification Mode (Blue Light): Building upon the benefits of ionization, Purification Mode introduces activated oxygen (O3) into the environment. This feature is designed to destroy bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew both in the air and on surfaces, providing a more comprehensive purification. The activated oxygen levels are maintained at safe concentrations for use in occupied areas.

  • Away Mode (Red Light): For a powerful, deep cleaning, the pureAir 500 offers an Away Mode. This mode activates high-power purification, generating a higher concentration of activated oxygen (O3) and ionization for a 30-minute cycle. It is crucial to note that this mode should only be used in spaces unoccupied by people or pets due to the temporary respiratory and eye irritation that activated oxygen can cause at higher concentrations. After the 30-minute cycle, the unit automatically reverts to its previous mode setting or shuts off if activated from an OFF state. A safety feature ensures that even when the unit is turned OFF, it continues to operate for 30 seconds to clear any remaining ozone from inside the device.

Operating the pureAir 500 is straightforward. To turn the unit ON, simply press the Power Button once, which initiates Ionization Mode. Pressing the Power Button again cycles it to Purification Mode, and a third press turns the unit OFF. The Away Mode Button, located on the top of the unit, activates the Away Mode. The internal light, which indicates the current mode, can also be toggled ON or OFF by pressing the touch-sensitive Light Button on the top panel. When the light is OFF, it will briefly activate for 3 seconds when changing modes to provide a visual confirmation of the active setting.

For optimal placement, the unit should be situated in an area of the room with good air circulation or near a known source of pollution. It is important to ensure the unit is fully assembled before operation and that the ventilation or filter is not blocked. The device is designed for indoor use only.

Maintenance Features

The pureAir 500 is designed for low maintenance, with key features focused on ensuring its long-term performance and the quality of air purification.

  • Regular Cleaning: For proper operation and to maintain efficiency, the unit should be cleaned at least once per month. The cleaning process is simple and involves:

    1. Turning the unit OFF and unplugging it from the power source.
    2. Removing the filter screw from the filter cover.
    3. Carefully removing the filter from the unit.
    4. Cleaning the filter by blowing out dust and debris with compressed air or using a vacuum cleaner.
    5. Blowing out the interior of the unit with compressed air to remove any accumulated dust.
    6. Reassembling the unit by replacing the filter, filter cover, and filter cover screw.
    7. Plugging the unit back in and returning it to its previously set mode. It is critical to remember that no part of the unit should come into contact with water during cleaning.
  • Filter Replacement: The filtration cartridge is a consumable component that requires periodic replacement to ensure the highest quality of purification. The lifespan of the filter depends on the level of pollutants present in the cleaned space. Generally, filters should be replaced once a year. Replacement filtration cartridges (Part Name: pureAir 500 Filtration Cartridge) can be purchased through authorized retailers.

  • Warranty and Support: The pureAir 500 comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in material and workmanship under normal household use. This warranty is extended to the original purchaser and their immediate household. In the event of a malfunction, users are advised to refer to the warranty information for coverage and replacement instructions, ensuring continued support for their device.
