Instalación de filtros

The air purifier uses a multi-stage filtration system to ensure clean air. Ensure all filters are correctly installed before first use.

Figura 2: Lado view of the air purifier, illustrating the filter compartment access.

The filtration system includes a pre-filter, activated carbon filter, and HEPA H13 filter. These filters capture at least 99.9% of airborne pollutants, including PM2.5, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and pollen. The humidifying filter also removes salts and microorganisms from water.
