Please read before operating your new Air Purifier The air purifier draws in room air from its air intake, lets the air pass through a Active Carbon Filter (deodorization filter) and a True HEPA Filter (dust collection filter) inside of the unit, then discharges the air from its air outlet. The air purifier unit repeats this process by moving its internal fan. As air passes through, a new True HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles, of as small as 0.3 microns.
