Airfree air purifiers are manufactured under license of US Patent 5,874,050, and many other patents pending worldwide. Airfree was designed with most advanced American and German technologies, to drastically destroy indoor airborne micro- organisms and reduce ozone. Different from other air purifier manufacturers, Airfree does not spend much time in describing fancy technologies with difficult words and theories. Airfree offers independent efficiency tests instead. For every Airfree claim there is one independent test to prove it! Please carefully read this manual to achieve the best air purifying results. Enjoy your Airfree. Thank you, AIRFREE PRODUCTS 2 Congratulations for having purchased your Airfree.

The EPA – Environmental Protection Agency claims the quality of air indoors can be 100 times worse than outdoors. Some factors contribute to indoor contamination: -High concentration of people in rooms increase fungus, bacteria and virus development, and cross contamination -New building insulation techniques reduce outside air interchanges and consequently air conditioning running cost, but in turn drastically increase mould, and bacteria colonies -Deficient air conditioning duct cleaning -Concentration of organic material such as books, carpeting, curtains, and sofas. Good air quality indoors is a must for those affected by respiratory diseases and allergies. Contaminated indoor air (fungus, airborne allergens, pollens, ozone) can trigger -Asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, and sinusitis -Fungal infections in immune depressed patients -Eye, throat and nose irritation -Headaches, lethargy, irritability -Cough and difficulty in concentration Relation between microorganisms and related diseases. Inocolums(*) X Virulency (**) human Resistance (*) Quantity of microorganisms (**) Microorganism aggressiveness The higher “Inocolums” and “Virulency” and or the lower “Human resistance” results in greater contamination risk to people. The main contamination causes are several types of fungus, (some of them already resistant to the most powerful chemicals and poisons), bacteria, viruses, the fine dust mite excrements and skeletons containing powerful allergens and hazardous fungus, and the seasonal pollens. Airfree can safely and silently destroy those allergens 4 Healthy rooms with pure clean air The efficient and noiseless Airfree technology safely destroys mould spores, bacteria, viruses and other airborne organic microorganisms. Respiratory allergies and Asthma Airfree drastically reduces airborne organic allergens and ozone, provid- ing cleaner and safer environment for allergic people. Airfree destroys mould spores, bacteria, viruses, dust mite allergens, pet dander and re- duces ozone, all kept to minimum levels. Children and Newborns Studies demonstrate that reducing dust mite allergen exposure to young children will lessen the development of asthma. Mould and Mildew Airborne Mould spores that float throughout the house potentially cause allergic reactions. Those spores also start new mould colonies and ex- pand existing ones. Airfree destroys airborne mould and mildew spores, helping to prevent new contaminations. Odors Airfree can reduce some odors like “mildew smell” and other organic odors. Kitchens and Pantries The reduction of airborne fungi and...
