Beurer LR 220 - Air Purifier Manual

Getting to know your device

Humans spend a large proportion of their time indoors. The air indoors is often polluted with dust particles, pollen, animal hair, odours, harmful gases as well as various bacteria and viruses. The LR 220 air purifier cleans the ambient air using a three-layered filter system.

The LR 220 air purifier

• filters the air with a combi filter (pre-filter / HEPA filter H 13 / activated carbon filter)
• operates quietly with three power levels (night mode, settings I and II) and a turbo mode
• has a timer function (two, four or eight hours)
• is suitable for room sizes of 13 m² ¹⁾ - 37 m² ²⁾
• is energy-saving
• switches off automatically when the housing base is opened and the filter is removed.

¹⁾ (ANSI/AHAM AC-1 2015)
²⁾ (NRCC 54013-2011)

Principle of air cleaning

1. The air purifier's fan sucks in the contaminated air.
2. The pre-filter filters out larger particles such as dust, dirt and hairs.
3. The HEPA filter then filters out small particles such as pollen, bacteria or viruses.
4. Next, the activated carbon filter filters formaldehyde, benzene and other poisonous gases and odours out of the ambient air.
5. The cleaned air is emitted via the air outlet on top of the air purifier into the ambient air.

The HEPA H 13 filter has a filter performance of ≥ 99.95%. That means that 99.95% of particles measuring ≥ 0.3 µm (e.g. bacteria, viruses and fine dust) can be filtered out.

Contaminated, unfiltered air can have the following effects:

• Infections and respiratory diseases are more likely to occur
• Damage to health through harmful gases

Note
The air purifier is at setting I at initial start-up.

Selecting the fan speed

The air purifier has three permanent fan speeds (setting I / setting II / night mode) and a 15-minute turbo mode.

Setting I
The air purifier fan operates at low speed.

Setting II
The air purifier fan operates at high speed.

Turbo mode
In turbo mode, the air purifier fan operates at the highest setting for 15 minutes. I and II start to light up on the display. After the 15 minutes have elapsed, the air purifier automatically switches to setting I.

Night mode
In night mode, the air purifier fan operates particularly quietly at the lowest setting. The illuminated display goes out after 5 seconds. To exit night mode, press any button. The fan continues to operate at setting I.

Press the ON/OFF button once	=	Air purifier switches on and starts at setting I
Press the fan speed button once	=	Air purifier switches to setting II
Press the fan speed button twice	=	The air purifier switches to turbo mode
Press the fan speed button three times	=	Air purifier switches to night mode
Press the fan speed button four times	=	Air purifier switches back to setting I

Timer function

The air purifier features a timer function that you can use to determine the number of hours the air purifier should run for before it automatically switches itself off. The air purifier has three timer periods: 2h (two hours), 4h (four hours) and 8h (eight hours). The automatic switch-off takes place after the set time has elapsed in all fan speed settings.

• To switch between the individual timer periods, press the TIMER button . In the TIMER display of the display, the currently set TIMER time lights up ( 2h, 4h or 8h). The air purifier will now automatically switch off after the set number of hours has passed.
• To switch off the timer, repeatedly press the TIMER button until the light above the TIMER display goes out. The air purifier now cleans continuously.

Changing the filter

The three-layered filter should be replaced with a new one after 4260 operating hours. After 4260 operating hours have elapsed, the FILTER indicator will light up red on the display. To change the filter, proceed as follows:

Make sure that the housing base is correctly connected to the housing by means of the recesses before tightening the twist lock.

If you wish to change the filter at specific personal intervals (e.g. every 6 months), there is a sticker on the upper edge of the filter on which a date can be entered.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning, always ensure that the mains plug of the air purifier has been properly disconnected.

Cleaning the filter

Regular cleaning of the filter (once a month) is a prerequisite for hygienic and fault-free operation. Clean the outside of the filter with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth.

The three-layered filter should be changed after 4260 operating hours (see "Changing the filter" section). The three-layered filter cannot be washed.

Cleaning the housing

Clean the housing of the air purifier with a damp cloth (water or a mild cleaning solution). Do not use solvents, other aggressive cleaning/scrubbing agents or alcohol as the surface could be damaged.

Storage

If you do not plan to use the device for a long period of time, we recommend that you clean it and store it in the original packaging in a dry environment, ensuring it is not weighed down by additional items.
