Congratulations for having purchased your Airfree.
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.

The Invisible
Enemies
Most people spend around 90% of their time time indoors, at home or in the of-
fice.
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 con-
-
sequently air conditioning running cost, but in turn drastically increase mold, 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, and the fine dust from dust mite faeces
and skeletons that contain powerful allergens and hazardous fungus, and the sea-
sonal pollens.
Airfree can safely and silently destroy those allergens

Applications
Healthy rooms with pure clean air:
The efficient and noiseless Airfree technology safely destroys mold
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
mold 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.
Mold and Mildew:
Airborne Mold spores that float throughout the house potentially cause
allergic reactions. Those spores also start new mold colonies and ex-
pand existing ones. Airfree destroys airborne mold 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 spores in areas protected by Airfree
helps to prevent mildew on food.
Video, films, slides, sound and optical equipment
The reduction of airborne spores in rooms protected by Airfree provides
the best environment to store cameras, videos, pictures, slides, nega-
tives and any device potentially affected by fungi. Quietly and safely Air-
free protects your belongings and memories.
Yatches, Cruisers
Airfree safely eliminates fungi spores, mold, mildew, dust mites, bacteria,
and strange odors. Many of which contribute to many common problems
to boat owners.

Applications
Offices, Public Buildings,
Populated rooms, corridors, and elevators offer a constant contamination
risk to employees and guests. This situation is aggravated by the flow of haz-
ardous fungi and other microbes entering through the A/C system, and the
ozone generated by computers and photocopiers. The spread of airborne
transmittable diseases can accelerate in this environment. Airfree is a power-
ful weapon in the reduction of airborne contamination by viruses, bacteria,
fungi, and a myriad of allergens.
Libraries and Museums:
The fungi spores that become mold or mildew are always present. When the
temperature and moisture in the environment are suitable for germination,
the spore bursts and growth begins. This growth contaminates books, cloth-
ing, documents, and works of art. Airfree destroys mold and mildew, provid-
ing a healthier environment for users and employees.
Schools, Kindergartens:
Airborne transmittable diseases are a great concern for students, parents,
teachers, and principals. Influenza, meningitis, rubeolla, and other nasty mi-
crobes flow freely in the air. The use of Airfree in classrooms demonstrates
the principal’s concern for their students and staff well being. It also reduce
school exposure to lawsuits, like with mold-affected diseases so may com-
mon throughout the USA.
Hospitals, Clinics and Laboratories:
Airborne contamination is quite a concern for most hospitals. With Airfree,
the hospital environment becomes safer. Airfree is indispensable in waiting
rooms, infirmaries, and recovery rooms due to its efficiency in destroying
airborne viruses bacteria, and fungi. Airfree also reduces ozone that can
affect patients with respiratory ailments. Laboratories no longer need to stop
all activities for chemical air desinfection, gaining working hours.
Restaurants
Airfree offers continuous air sterilization. Silently, Airfree provides the
additional protection that patrons expect. All viruses and bacteria that pass
through Airfree’s patented sterilizing ceramic core are destroyed.
Restaurants are recommended to submit their floor plans to insure proper
coverage inside their facilities.
Hotels and Retire Homes:
The use of Airfree in guest rooms shows concern on behalf of the hotel to its
guests well being. The use of Airfree can contribute to a higher occupancy
rate and may provide a good line of defense in case of lawsuits. Airfree has
independent tests proving its efficiency.

Applications
Pollens
Pollens are no exception and like microorganims are totally destroyed
when passing through Airfree patented sterilizing core. After being
incinerated the resulting harmless particles are released back to the
environment.
Ozone (O3)
Ozone is a very toxic gas that according to EPA can damage lung tissue,
cause chest pain, throat irritation and trigger asthma. The FDA, the US
Food and Drug Administration, recommends not to use any equipment
directly or indirectly generating ozone in Hospitals or where the patients
are present.
Airfree is proven to reduce ozone levels in 26%, every time air passes
through its ceramic core.
Viruses, Bacteria, Fungus and Germs
Airfree destroys all airborne microscopic threatening microorganisms
cited above including the smallest microbes like those of meningitis,
pneumonia and scarlet fever that can not be trapped in air filters or in
other equipment using different technologies. Scientists confirm that
virus, fungi and bacteria molecular structure (composed by proteins),
can not survive high temperatures as those seen inside Airfree patented
ceramic core.
Dust Mites
Many allergic reactions are caused by dust mites.
The fine dust generated from their skeletons and excements contain
hazardous fungus and allergens that when inhaled cause allergic
reactions. Those allergens and fungus are totally destroyed inside Airfree
ceramic core.
Fungus reduction by Airfree in the indoor environment also reduces dust
mite population as they need certain types of fungus to survive.

Airfree and Mold
Guide for Airfree Installation in Mold contaminated rooms
1 - Install your Airfree unit in accordance with the user manual
2 - Allow your unit to run for at least one week to achieve significant
airborne mold spore reduction.
3 - Clean mold infected items and surfaces, since they are a
continuous source of new spores.
It is important to stress that Airfree will not destroy or remove mold
from an infected item or surface. Those surfaces must be cleaned
manually.
Airfree will prevent spores released by existing mold colonies from
contaminating other areas, and will inhibit the growth of existing
colonies.

Installing and
Connecting
Plug power cord to the nearest outlet.
Make sure the surface is dry (never place Airfree in wet floor or
immerge in water) After 10 minutes the top lid should be warm.
Place Airfree on the floor. Do not install it under furniture or shelves,
behind curtains as it will reduce air flow and Airfree efficiency in
reducing microorganisms.
Place each Airfree in rooms up to 216 sq. ft. (24m²) .
For larger rooms use proportionally additional Airfree units. The use of
just one Airfree in rooms larger than recommended will considerable
reduce Airfree efficiency.
Airfree must be continuously on in the same room 24 hours/ day.

Installing and
Connecting
Airfree can only be used in rooms with minimum air volume of 330 cu.
ft. (10 m3), free of obstacles.
Airfree can be installed in rooms equipped with air conditioning and
heating systems. However it is recommended not to place Airfree nearby
them to avoid potential interference in Airfree air flow.
Do not place Airfree in the corridor to try to reach the whole house. In this
case Airfree will only reduce air pollution in the corridor area.
Airfree works better in rooms with windows closed. Nevertheless open-
ing up window in the morning for one hour or two hours to allow air in-
terchange with the outside will not affect Airfree efficiency. Airfree shall
not be placed near doors or under windows to avoid sterilized air to exit
the room.

Safety
Instructions
Airfree can not be installed on wet surfaces or immerged in water like
any other electric appliance.
Please do not attempt to openAirfree or touch interior electric parts. Such
attempt may cause electric shock hazard. If any mal function occurs
please contact Airfree authorized repair centres or call the shop where
Airfree was purchased.
If there is a temporary loss of energy Airfree will take the same time to
recover the previous contamination level.
Do not place clothing, towels or any article on or around Airfree that
can stop or diminish the Airfree’s air flow mainly at the top sterilized air
exhaust as it can cause over heating, irreparable damage to the device
and potential fire hazard.

Air
How Airfree works?
Contaminated air silently enters Airfree by air convection and is sterilized inside
Airfree patented ceramic core where all microorganisms are destroyed/ incinerated
at high temperatures. Regardless of how hazardous a virus, fungus or bacteria
might be they can not resist the powerful heat inside the ceramic core and are
incinerated. The heat inside the ceramic core forces sterilized air out to the heat
exchanger causing air convection, which generates negative pressure underneath
the ceramic core, so contaminated air is “sucked” in at Airfree bottom air inlets in a
continuous and silent thus efficient air flow.
The association of the ceramic core, special ceramic and air flow reduces at the
same time toxic Ozone.

FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
9. Is it necessary to keep doors and windows closed?
It is preferable. But opening window for 1 or 2 hours a day will not affect Airfree
efficiency.
10. Does Airfree eliminate bacteria and viruses?
Yes. Unlike the air filters in the market Airfree is more efficient with the smallest
microorganisms as they are easily carried by Airfree’s airflow into its heated ce-
ramic core.
11. Can I change Airfree from one room to another?
Airfree must always be plugged in the same room 24 hours a day. Airfree’s pat-
ented technology works gradually and cannot have its cycle interrupted. Moving it
from one room to another will interrupt the cycle and will recontaminate the room.
See question 13 bellow.
12. Should I turn off Airfree when I leave house?
No. Airfree must always be on.
13. What happens if Airfree is disconnected or there was a black out?
Airfree will take approximately the same time to recover the previous reduced
contamination level.
14. Does CADR measure the effectiveness of the Airfree?
Not at all. CADR is not designed to test the Airfree technology.
The AHAM seal (usually found on the back of an air cleaner’s box) lists three Clean
Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers: one for tobacco smoke, one for pollen and one
for dust. The CADR indicates volume of filtered air delivered by an air cleaner. The
higher the tobacco smoke, pollen and dust numbers, the faster the unit filters the
air.
The main reason why CADR is not designed for Airfree is because Aifree does not
filter but destroys microorganisms instead, CADR only applies to volume of filtered
air delivered by an air cleaner as stated above.
CADR does not measure microorganism reduction like mold and bacteria only
detectable by a microbiology lab.
Airfree destroys (not trap or attract to other surface) any microorganism regard-
less of how small they might be. 99,99% of all organic particles are fully destroyed
when passing through the Airfree U.S. patented ceramic core.

FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
15. How does Airfree destroy dust mites?
Mold reduction in the atmosphere causes a reduction in the mold dependant dust
mite population.
Airfree also destroys the harmful toxins and fungus freed by dust mite feces that
trigger respiratory allergies.
16. How does Airfree eliminate fungi?
As mentioned before, Airfree eliminates airborne microorganisms included fungi
and spores. By eliminating spores new colonies are unlikely to develop, represent-
ing less airborne spores.
17. How does Airfree destroy viruses?
Those microscopic microorganisms are easily eliminated inside Airfree’s ceramic
core capillaries. The temperature inside of Aifree’s capillaries is much higher than
required to incinerate them. Airfree is your greatest ally in respiratory disease pre-
vention.
18. Does Airfree reduce tobacco smell?
Yes, Airfree reduces any kind of organic smell in the ambience including tobacco.
19. Does Airfree release any gas or chemical product?
No. Airfree’s sterilization process is natural. Please check our website for conclusive
tests regarding particles and O3.
20. Does Airfree heat up a room?
No. Airfree does not increase room temperature. To have an idea 2 Airfrees plugged
in the same room will contribute as much heat as the presence of one adult in that
same room.
21. Does Airfree provoke any change in room’s the relative humidity?
No.
