3.9 Air Cleaning/Ionization Function
This function activates air cleaning and absorption of airborne particulate matter/particles
by ionization. Ionizers produce a stream of charged particles (ion flow) in the air that
precipitate (fine) dust particles in the environment. In theory, this has a beneficial effect on
air quality (source: RIVM).
The benefits of ionization for cleaner air:
•
Removes pollutants: Ionization is an effective method of neutralizing and removing
airborne pollutants. Negative ions attach to particles such as dust, pollen, mold spores
and bacteria, making them heavier and sink to the ground. This results in cleaner air and
reduces the risk of respiratory problems and allergies.
•
Actively fights bacteria and viruses: Ionization can help fight airborne bacteria and
viruses. Negative ions can bind to pathogens and inactivate them, making them no
longer harmful to health. This is especially important in areas where people congregate,
such as stores, offices, schools and medical facilities.
•
Reduces odors: Negative ions also have the ability to neutralize odors. They attach to
odor molecules and break them down, eliminating unpleasant odors. Whether it is
cooking odors in the kitchen, smoke odor in a smoking room or other bothersome odors,
ionization can help create a fresh and pleasant environment.
•
Improves air quality: By removing contaminants and reducing airborne allergens,
ionization contributes to an overall improvement in air quality. This can lead to a healthier
indoor environment, with fewer respiratory irritations and an increased sense of comfort.
3.10 Defrosting
The evaporator in the product can automatically defrost if the product is used at a room
temperature below 18°C. The defrosting system can start automatically every 25 minutes or
even longer and operate for some time (±5 minutes).
The dehumidification and air cleaning functions may stop during defrosting. Do not unplug
or turn off the product during defrosting.
The product is designed to remove unpleasant humidity in everyday life and to be used
for additional drying of washed clothes indoors. This product is not suitable for keeping the
humidity very low (±50% or less).
3.11 Room temperature rise
This product does not have a cooling function. It produces heat during operation and the
room temperature rises by 1 to 4°C. The temperature increases when the product is used
in a cabinet or similar. In addition, the temperature in the room increases when doors
and windows are closed and heat is produced by other appliances in the room and solar
radiation.
