The Zephyr XL is a sophisticated air purification system designed to enhance indoor air quality by removing a wide range of airborne pollutants and allergens. It employs a 7-stage filtration process, integrating multiple filter technologies to provide comprehensive air cleaning.
Function Description:
The Zephyr XL operates by drawing air through side panels (intake) and then passing it through a series of filters before releasing clean, purified air from the top outlet. The system's centrifugal fan ensures efficient air circulation.
Filtration Stages:
- Pre-filter: This initial stage is designed to capture and remove larger particles from the air, such as dust and pet dander. It is a reusable filter that can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner every 1-2 months.
- HEPA filter: This high-efficiency particulate air filter is capable of removing up to 99.97% of airborne particulates, including dust, pollen, and other biological contaminants as small as 0.3 microns.
- Activated Carbon Filter: This filter effectively absorbs harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odors, contributing to a fresher indoor environment.
- Vitamin C Filter: Uniquely, the Zephyr XL releases vitamin C into the air, which is associated with benefits such as strengthening the immune system, preventing illness, and improving overall health.
- Photocatalyst Filter: This filter works to remove VOCs, chemicals, gases, and pathogens from the air.
- UV Sterilization Lights: Equipped with two UV lights, this stage targets and helps eliminate viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and other microorganisms in the air.
- Plasma Generator (Ion Generator): This component produces and releases millions of negative ions into the air. These ions help to reduce airborne particulates and further freshen the indoor air.

Usage Features:
The Zephyr XL can be operated via a control panel on the unit itself or through a remote control.
Control Panel Operation:
- Plug In: Connect the unit to a 120-volt polarized outlet. The red power indicator will light up, signifying readiness.
- On/Off: Touch the power sign on the control panel to turn the unit on or off. The LED display will illuminate when on.
- Fan Speed Adjustment: Touch the fan sign to cycle through three fan speeds: low (one blue fan indicator), medium (two blue fan indicators), and high (three blue fan indicators).
- UV Light & Plasma Generator: Touch the dedicated sign to turn these functions on or off. An indicator light will illuminate when active.
- Timer Setting: Touch the timer sign once to activate the timer function. The time will flash on the LED screen. Continue touching the button to increase the timer in 30-minute intervals, up to a maximum of 8 hours. The timer will set after 3 seconds and begin its countdown.
Remote Control Operation:
The remote control offers additional convenience and features:
- Auto Setting: Press the "Auto" button to engage the auto setting. The unit's sensors will detect and measure dust and VOC levels (indicated on the LED display from 0-6). The fan speed will automatically adjust to eliminate contaminants.
- Timer Setting: Similar to the control panel, press the "Timer" button and use the "+" or "-" buttons to select the desired time. Press "Timer" again to set.
- Sleep Mode: Touch the "Sleep" button to dim the display panel and lower the fan speed for quiet operation. Touch again to cancel.
- Power, Fan Speed, UV/Plasma Generator: These buttons function identically to their counterparts on the control panel.
- Child Lock: Touch the "Lock" button to disable the control panel buttons and illuminate the lock indicator. Touch again or power cycle the unit to reverse.
Placement Guidelines:
- Maintain at least 10cm distance from walls for optimal air circulation.
- Avoid placing near windows where curtains might obstruct air intake/outflow.
- For best results, position the air purifier near the source of polluted air.
- Do not place near hot objects, ranges, or steam.
- Do not operate the unit on its side.
Maintenance Features:
- Filter Replacement: The HEPA, Activated Carbon, and Photo Catalyst filter cartridge has a standard service life of 1 year.
- Pre-filter Cleaning: The pre-filter should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner every 1-2 months.
- Filter Installation: Filters must be unpacked from their packaging before first use. To replace filters, lay the unit on its back, hold the handles of the filter frame, and pull the frame out. New filters can be inserted by pulling aside the two sides of the filter frame.
- Troubleshooting: A troubleshooting guide is provided for common issues such as the unit not operating, remote control malfunction, inability to remove odor, inability to remove dust, and loud operational noise.
Safety Instructions:
- Use only as described in the manual and with a 120-volt polarized outlet.
- Do not use if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the wall outlet connection is loose.
- Always hold the plug, not the cord, when removing from the outlet.
- Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
- Remove the power plug before cleaning or when not in use.
- Do not block air intake or outlet.
- Do not operate without filters.
- Do not wash and reuse HEPA, Activated Carbon, or Photocatalyst filters.
- Do not clean the exterior with paint thinner or chemicals.
- Remove remote control batteries before disposal.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, and body parts away from openings and moving parts.
- Do not use in enclosed spaces with flammable, explosive, or toxic vapors.
Warranty:
Zephyr offers a 15-year limited warranty on the product, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use and maintenance, provided it was purchased from an authorized Zephyr Dealer. The warranty covers parts such as the Body, Motor, Control Panel, Main Power Board, VOC/Odor Sensor, Dust Sensor, Capacitors, Fan, Ion Generator, and Remote. It does not cover expendable/consumable parts like filters, remote batteries, or UV lights unless they are defective. The warranty is voided by abusive operation, negligence, accident, improper installation, unauthorized modifications, use with unapproved items, or damage from external/environmental conditions (e.g., incorrect voltage). Shipping costs for service are the customer's responsibility.
