Clean air for healthier homes

Now that you have an Electrolux Oxy

3

silence Air Cleaner, you

will be breathing cleaner air. Obviously, you should locate this in
a room where you spend most time e.g. living room or bedroom.

Wherever there are people, plants or pets, there are airborne

particles that can affect your wellbeing, especially if you suffer
from allergies. For instance, did you know that the air inside a
room could be more polluted than the air in a large city? Scien-
tific studies have shown the following levels of particles per litre
of air:

Usually, you cannot see or smell particles in indoor air. But they
are there, and they can affect your health. If used in rooms of
the recommended size, your air cleaner reduces particle content
by at least 80% continuously. It reduces airborne particles in
a room, such as dust, pollen, spores, particles from animal fur
and industrial pollutants which improves the air quality. It will
also reduce the amount of bacteria and viruses.

Filtration in several stages

To guarantee the highest quality of air, the air cleaner has a
unique multi-stage electrostatic filtration system.

Stage 1

  Two pre-filters remove large particles such as strands

of hair.

Stage 2

  An electrostatic main filter reduces smaller airborne

particles. (See above)

Stage 3

  Using a carbon filter* will also reduce gases and

odours in the indoor air. A carbon filter will reduce the air flow
somewhat. Remove the protective plastic, put the carbon filter
in place inside the air cleaner above the main filter and replace
the cover. The carbon filter is available as an accessory
(reference no. EF103) and can be used in all models.

For your safety

The Air cleaner is an electrical appliance and should be treated
accordingly. Follow these safety instructions and retain this
booklet for reference.
• The cleaner is only to be used by adults. Young children or

infirm persons should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.

• Do not use in humid places such as bathrooms. If liquid enters

the air cleaner, turn it off and have it inspected by an autho-
rised service station.

• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not use near flammable gases.
• Do not locate under a smoke alarm.
• Do not use if the lead or plug are damaged. To prevent

hazards, a damaged lead or plug must always be replaced
at an authorised Electrolux service station.

• Do not put objects on top of or inside the unit.
• Do not block the grills.
• Always disconnect from the power supply before removing the

filters for cleaning.

• Do not wash the main filter in salt water or dishwasher.
• Always change a damaged main filter.

Like other electrical appliances, the air cleaner may generate a
small amount of ozone. You might detect a faint smell (similar to
chlorine) especially when the unit is new. However, the amount
generated is extremely small and well below the limits stipulated
by the authorities. To reduce the amount of ozone you can fit
your Air cleaner with a carbon filter.

For best results

Place the air cleaner on the floor next to a wall. The Air cleaner
sucks in air at floor level and blows it out at the top. If there is a
wall mounted heater, place the air cleaner along the same wall
so that the rising warm air coincides with the air flow of the
cleaner. When using two or more units in one room, place them
along the same wall, as far apart as possible.

Usage

All models are intended for continuous use at fan speed
setting 1 or any one of the automatic programmes*. The fan
speed setting can be changed to 2 or 3 if necessary.
The best results are achieved by leaving the air cleaner on
around the clock. (It uses less power than most light bulbs.)

Buttons

Controls the active programme. Press the button to
switch between                                           and
manual mode.
Changes fan speed setting manually. Press the button
to switch between the different fan speeds.
Turns the air cleaner on and off.
