The SimplyConserve Tabletop Air Purifier, model AM-AP1115-WH, is designed to enhance indoor air quality in family residences or similar locations. This compact unit utilizes a sophisticated 3-stage composite filter system to purify the air, ensuring a healthier environment.
Function Description:
The air purifier operates by drawing in unpurified air through its outer surface, passing it through a multi-stage filtration system, and then releasing purified air upward from the center of the filter. A fan system, composed of a DC BLDC motor and a centrifugal fan, along with optimized air ducts, creates efficient air circulation. After passing through the HEPA filter, the air then goes through a negative ion generator installed at the air outlet. This generator continuously ionizes the air, producing a large number of negative ions that are sent out by the fan as a negative ion airstream, further facilitating air purification.
Important Technical Specifications:
The core of the purification system is the 3-Stage Composite Filter, which includes:
- Pre-Filter: Designed to capture large particles, acting as the first line of defense against dust and other larger airborne contaminants.
- True HEPA H13 Filter: This medical-grade filter is highly effective at trapping fine particles and pollutants down to 0.03 microns, including allergens, pet dander, and microscopic dust.
- Super Absorbent Carbon Filter: This layer is crucial for eliminating airborne toxins and odors, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), smoke, and cooking smells.
It's important to note that the high-efficiency HEPA and activated carbon are combined within the same composite filter. The unit requires a 120V~AC power supply.
Usage Features:
The air purifier offers several user-friendly features controlled via its intuitive display panel:
- Power On/Off: The unit enters standby mode when plugged in, with indicator lights flashing briefly. Pressing the power button initiates operation in manual mode. To turn off, press the power button and then unplug the machine.
- Filtration Speed Adjustment: Users can select from four fan speeds: Low-Speed Fan, Medium-Speed Fan, High-Speed Fan, and Sleep Mode. The desired speed is indicated by an illuminated light on the control panel.
- Sleep Mode: In this mode, the fan runs quietly while all other indicators are off, providing a peaceful environment. Any key press will exit sleep mode.
- Timer Function: The unit can be set to operate for specific durations: 2-Hour, 4-Hour, 6-Hour, or 8-Hour increments. The selected run time is indicated by an illuminated light.
- Display Lock: This feature prevents accidental changes to settings. To activate, press and hold the display lock button for approximately three seconds until a sound is heard. The display lock indicator will flash three times if other buttons are pressed while locked. Holding the button again for three seconds will exit the display lock.
- Filter Reset Indicator: The unit includes a "Replace Filter Indicator" that alerts the user when it's time to change the filter. After installing a new filter, the reset button must be pressed for three seconds to turn off the indicator and reset the filter's lifespan tracking.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance and longevity of the air purifier:
- Cleaning: Both the inside and outside of the purifier should be cleaned regularly to prevent dust accumulation. A soft, dry cloth should be used to wipe dust off the unit, including the air inlet and outlet.
- Filter Replacement: The 3-stage air purification filter is not washable and must be replaced. The recommended replacement interval is approximately every six months, though this can vary depending on the environment and usage habits. The unit will sound an alarm and flash the indicator light to remind the user to replace the filter.
- Filter Installation/Removal: To access the filter, the base cover must be unscrewed by pressing the indicator and rotating. The filter's plastic packaging must be removed before first use or when replacing. After placing the new filter, the base cover is re-installed by aligning the unlock key and rotating to lock it in place.
- Storage (Idle Unit): If the unit will not be used for an extended period, it should be unplugged, its interior thoroughly dried, and stored in a dry, ventilated place in a vertical position. Laying the product on its side or upside-down may cause damage.
Safety Precautions:
The manual emphasizes several safety precautions, including:
- Never touch the power plug with wet hands.
- Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning or moving the unit.
- Only use a 120V~AC power supply.
- Ensure the power plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
- Do not damage, bind, twist, cut, or place heavy objects on the power cord.
- Clean the power plug regularly with a dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation.
- Do not disassemble or modify the appliance.
- Avoid placing rods or metal objects into the air outlet or inlet.
- Do not use benzene, thinner, or other hazardous solvents for cleaning.
- Do not use the air purifier in greasy environments (e.g., kitchens) or with fumigation insecticides.
- Keep the unit dry and avoid using it in high-temperature or high-humidity areas like bathrooms.
- Prevent volatile substances or combustible materials from entering the unit.
- Maintain at least 8 inches of clearance from walls and other objects for optimal air circulation.
- Place the unit at least 3 feet away from TVs, radios, and other electronic appliances.
- Do not plug the air purifier into an outlet already used by other electronic devices.
- In case of abnormal symptoms (e.g., switch malfunction, burning odor, abnormal sound, hot power cord), immediately turn off and disconnect the power.
- Move the air purifier slowly and always disconnect the power cord first; do not move it by pulling the power cord or while it is operating.
