Before You Start — Important Notes
Let your AirRepair run continuously for the first 24 hours. This run-in period allows the fans to lubricate.
Safety first: Always switch off and unplug your unit before removing filters or plates. Never reinstall ESP plates while damp.
1. Setup & Placement
Get the best performance from day one
Proper placement ensures your AirRepair can circulate and clean air efficiently throughout your space.
Guidelines:
-
Choose an open spot: Place the unit in a central, unobstructed location — not behind furniture or tight corners.
-
Give it room: Leave at least 20–30 cm clearance on all sides so the inlet and outlet can flow freely.
-
Face the grills correctly: Position the purifier so the outlet faces into the room — this ensures clean air is pushed out effectively. On the standard range, the outlet is the front panel with the light; on the Pro model, it’s the slim strip outlet.
-
Shut windows & doors: For best results, run it in a closed room so it’s not constantly fighting outside air.
👉 If you’re unsure which side is the outlet, hold a tissue near the grills — the airflow will make it clear. Correct setup ensures faster air cleaning and better performance.
2. Light Clean (Every 8 Weeks)
Remove larger particles and surface build-up
This clean is designed to remove larger particles such as dust, pet dander, and pollen that collect on the outside of the unit, the pre-filter, and the ESP plates.
Steps:
-
Vacuum the exterior & all-filters: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft-bristle brush attachment. This removes larger debris without scratching the filters, which could otherwise affect performance.
-
Wipe the ESP plates: With the collector plates removed, wipe them down using a microfiber cloth or paper towel. If you notice a fine black residue (similar to soot) — this means it could be time for a deep clean.
-
Use an anti-static brush: For stubborn dust or hard-to-reach areas between the ESP grills, an anti-static brush works best. These are safe for electrical components and are available directly on our website.
👉 This quick clean takes just a few minutes and helps keep your purifier looking and performing its best.
3. Deep Clean Every 2200 Hours Runtime (3 Months)
Thorough wash for maximum performance
For a full reset of your system, we recommend a deeper clean every 3 months (or sooner if your air quality is poor and the filter becomes visibly dirty) In very clean environments, the unit may run for 12 months or more before needing a deep clean.
Steps:
-
Remove the ESP collector plates from the unit.
-
Prepare soap solution: Fill a sink, bathtub, or laundry tub with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild dishwashing soap.
-
Wash the plates: Gently scrub the plates in the soapy water, making sure to remove any dirt, soot, or residue clinging to the grills.
-
Rinse thoroughly: Ensure all soap is removed, as any residue can affect performance.
-
Dry completely: Place the plates at an angle in the sink or tub to drip dry. Allow them to fully air-dry before reinserting — this may take several hours. Never reinstall damp plates into the unit.
Once dry, simply slide the plates back in and your AirRepair purifier will return to 100% performance.
4. Activated Carbon Filters
Refresh odour & VOC performance
AirRepair models also include an activated carbon filter for tackling odours, smoke, and chemical pollutants. These can be recharged several times to extend their life.
How to Recharge:
- Remove the carbon filter from your purifier.
- Place it outside in direct sunlight for several hours.
- The UV rays and heat will help release trapped gases and refresh the filter’s adsorption capacity.
👉 You don’t need to do this often — once a year is plenty, depending on your air quality. If the filter ever becomes too saturated or worn over time, replacements are also available on our website.
💡 Tip: If you notice performance drop or heavier build-up, don’t wait — perform a deep clean earlier.
