Safety
Instructions
Always keep Airfree in its vertical position as shown in the picture.
Do not attempt to use it sideways, under furniture, or with its bottom air inlets
and or outlets blocked avoiding air to flow in and sterilized air to flow out
Airfree. If any of the above occurs, the TSS™ ceramic core will be discon-
nected as the unit will not work properly in those conditions and after about
1 minute, the anti-stress light will start blinking to call for attention, indicating
poor installation, or eventual malfunctioning. After few seconds of being prop-
erly installed the anti-stress light will stop blinking.
Airfree shall not be placed near flammable and toxic products.
Do not attempt to open Airfree or touch its internal components and/ or do not
insert any objects as it may pose electric shock.

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 vi-
rus development, and cross contamination
New building insulation techniques reduce outside air interchanges and
-
consequently 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 power-
ful chemicals and poisons), bacteria, viruses, the fine dust mite excrements and
skeletons containing powerful allergens and hazardous fungus, and the seasonal
pollens.
Airfree can safely and silently destroy those allergens
5
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 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
Airfree 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.
6
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
hazardous fungi and other microbes entering through the A/C system, and
the ozone generated by computers and photocopiers. The spread of air-
borne transmittable diseases can accelerate in this environment. Airfree is
a powerful 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 germina-
tion, the spore bursts and growth begins. This growth contaminates books,
clothing, documents, and works of art. Airfree destroys mold and mildew,
providing 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
microbes flow freely in the air. The use of Airfree in classrooms demon-
strates 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 common 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 oc-
cupancy rate and may provide a good line of defense in case of lawsuits.
Airfree has independent tests proving its efficiency.
7
Applications
Pollens
Pollens are no exception and like other 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, fungus, 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 excrements 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 continu-
ous 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 and
new colonies.

The Airfree’s anti-stress light has a esthetic effect and may be relaxing. It is pos-
sible to adjust the light intensity using the dimmer at Airfree’s base.
The light does not intervene or has any relation with Airfree’s patented sterilization
core functioning.
11
Installing and
Connecting
Plug power cord to the nearest outlet.
Make sure the surface is dry (never place Airfree on wet floor or immerge
in water) Make sure side blue led is on.
Switch on dimmer and the anti-stress light should glow from the top lid
(1). 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.
Airfree P1000 was designed for rooms up to 450 sq. ft. (42m²), Airfree
P2000 Platinum was designed for rooms up to 550 sq. ft. (51m²). Airfree
P3000 Onix was designed for rooms up to 650 sq. ft. (61m²) The use of
just one Airfree in rooms larger than recommended will reduce Airfree
efficiency.
Airfree must be continuously on in the same room, 24 hours a day.
12
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 shall not be placed near doors or under windows to avoid steril-
ized air to exit the room.

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
1. How does Airfree work?
Airfree incinerates microorganisms at its heated capillaries. Contaminated air is
dragged into Airfree’s ceramic core by air convection and microorganisms are
destroyed at high temperatures regardless of how resistant and dangerous they
might be.
2. Are there any side effects?
No. Airfree’s new technology uses heat to purify the air. No side effects, no
emissions, NO IONS, nor new particles are generated. Airfree should be used in all
homes and offices, quietly, constantly, and efficiently purifying the air.
3. My Airfree does not stop blinking. What does that mean?
Airfree incorporates state of the art electronics detecting any improper placement
or device malfunctioning. If the top blue light does not stop blinking, please ensure
that your Airfree unit is in the upright position.
If the top and bottom air inlets are free of blockage the blinking may be due to a
faulty electrical outlet. Please plug it in a proper outlet. If after one minute the top
light continues blinking and your Airfree unit is correctly installed, this indicates that
the device is malfunctioning, Please promptly return it to your dealer.
4. Is there any risk when the top light of Airfree is blinking?
No. When Airfree electronics detect any irregularity it automatically shuts off the
TSS™ ceramic core
5. What is Airfree’s air cleaning capacity?
Airfree P1000 was designed for rooms up to 450 sq. ft. (42m²), Airfree P2000
Platinum was designed for rooms up to 550 sq. ft. (51m²). Airfree P3000 Onix was
designed for rooms up to 650 sq. ft. (61m²)
6. Can I install Airfree in my walking closet ?
Yes, as long as it has at least 330cu.ft (10m³)*. Airfree should not be placed under
shelves or its efficiency will be reduced.
* as reference 330cu.ft (10m³) is approximately 7’x7’
16
FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
7. Can I use Airfree in air conditioned rooms?
Yes.
8. How do I know if Airfree is no longer working?
Check the top lid, if warm Airfree is working.
9. Can I place Airfree at the corridor to reach the whole house?
No. Airfree will just reduce air pollution in the corridor’s area.
10. Can I place Airfree in a closed room?
Yes. Please remember such a room must have at least 330cu.ft (10m3)*.
* as a reference 330cu.ft is approximately 7’x7’
11. 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 ceramic core.
12. Can I change Airfree from one room to another?
Airfree must always be plugged in the same room 24 hours a day. Airfree’s
patented 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.
13. Should I turn off Airfree when I leave house?
No. Airfree must always be on.
b
l
ack
out?
Airfree will take approximately the same time to recover the previous reduced
contamination level.
17
FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
15. 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 de-
tectable by a microbiology lab.
Airfree destroys (not trap or attract to other surface) any microorganism regardless
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.
16. How does Airfree destroy dust mites?
Mold reduction in the environment causes 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.
17. 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,
representing less future airborne spores.
18. 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
prevention.
19. Does Airfree reduce tobacco smell?
Yes, Airfree reduces any kind of organic smell in the ambience including tobacco.
18
FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
20. Does Airfree release any gas or chemical product?
No. Airfree’s sterilization process is natural. Please check our website for conclu-
sive tests regarding particles and ozone.
21. Does Airfree heat up a room?
No. Airfree does not noticeable 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.
22. Does Airfree provoke any change in room’s the relative humidity?
No.
23. Does Airfree need filter replacement?
No.
24. Does Airfree consume a lot of energy?
No. Airfree’s consumption is just 45 Watts for P1000, 48 Watts for P2000 Platinum
and 52 Watts for P3000 Onix.
25 - Does Airfree anti-stress light interfere with Airfree sterilizing function?
No. The anti-stress light has an esthetic effect may be relaxing or simply used as a
night light in children or newborn bedrooms. According to chromo therapy the blue
light has calming and relaxing effect.
