How does the Airfree Air Sterilizer work?
Airfree utilizes heat to sterilize the air, which is pulled into its patented ceramic core by air convection. Inside the ceramic core air is sterilized at high temperatures (between 200º to 300º C). All living micro-organism, bacteria or virus is incinerated regardless of how resistant or dangerous they might be. See How It Works

Are there any side effects to the Airfree Air Sterilizer?
Airfree has NO side affects, thus it can be used in every room to improve indoor air quality.

What is the Airfree Air Sterilizer's cleaning capacity?
Airfree has two models: The P1000 covers 450 square feet and the P2000 covers 550 square feet. Although effective in small apartments, larger homes may require more than one Airfree Air Sterilizer device.

Can Airfree be installed in walk-in closets?
Yes, as long as Airfree is not placed under shelves or its efficiency will be reduced. Airfree is ideal for pantries, but needs to be placed free of obstacles. Recommended minimum room volume is 400 cubic feet (roughly 7x7 room).

Can it be used in rooms with air conditioning?
Yes. You can install an Airfree unit in any room inside a central air conditioned home or office. In fact, research indicates that Airfree is even more effective in refrigerated rooms. It is also highly effective in commercial walk-in coolers.

Can Airfree be placed in a corridor to protect connecting rooms?
No. Airfree is to be placed in just one room, away from open windows and doors. The air cleaning efficiency in rooms connected to that corridor where Airfree is installed is diminished, as walls and doorways reduce airflow into the rooms. So it is not recommended, unless each room has an Airfree plugged in.

Can Airfree be installed in closed rooms?
Yes. Minimum recommended room volume is 400 cubic feet.

Do I need to keep my doors and windows closed?
No. Regular ventilation does not affect Airfree efficiency. It is recommended, however, that you don't place Airfree next to window or doors nor in the middle of an air stream.

Can I use Airfree in the living room then move it to the bedroom at night?
No. In order for achieve maximum results, Airfree should always be in the same room, running 24 hours a day. Airfree's patented technology works gradually and cannot be interrupted, and moving it from one room to another interrupts the cycle.

Should I unplug Airfree when leaving the house or office?
No. In order to be efficient Airfree must be always on in the same room.

What happens if Airfree is disconnected or there is a power outage?
If the Airfree is off for only a couple of hours, it will quickly recover lost time. For longer outages, it will need much more time to achieve maximum results.

Does the Airfree Air Purifier eliminate bacteria and viruses?
Yes. Airfree' s bactericide and germicide efficiency is recognized by international independent laboratories and universities. Please visit the Test Page where many tests are available. Read Test Results

How does Airfree eliminate 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.  

How does Airfree eliminate fungi?
Fungi spores (fungi "seeds") are incinerated inside the patented ceramic core of Airfree, the same as bacteria and viruses. Read Test Results

Does Airfree destroy viruses?
Yes. The smallest microorganisms the better for Airfree as they are more easily carried by air flows into the patented ceramic core of Airfree. Airfree is the best ally in preventing respiratory diseases. Read Test Results

Does Airfree eliminate tobacco smell?
Customers report that Airfree works extremely well at eliminating tobacco odors. There is no independent test yet, but it is currently under way. Any organic odor is eliminated, including that caused by a cat litter box.

Does Airfree release any gas or chemical product?
No. Sterilization is done by heat in such a way that no emissions are released into the environment. In fact, Airfree actually reduces the toxic gas ozone by 26%.

Does Airfree affect the heat and humidity of a room?
No. Airfree offers very little change to a room's temperature and humidity. It would take 2 Airfree units to emit the same extra heat as one person in the room

Does Airfree require filter replacement?
No. Airfree has no filters and requires no maintenance other than periodically wiping the top lid with a clean dry or damp cloth. When cleaning Airfree please disconnect it from the electric source.

Is Airfree's electric consumption high?
No. Airfree's consumption is less than a 50 watt light bulb. Most standard light bulbs consume 6-100 watts.

Can children be burned when touching the Airfree unit?
No. Airfree's top lid achieves a maximum temperature of 144° F (62º C) right at its center, which for some people with sensitive hands could provide mild discomfort, but the unit isn't hot enough to cause any burn.

How will I know if my Airfree is not working?
As long as the top lid is warm, Airfree is working properly. If the lid is cold, please refer to the instructions manual.

How long is the warranty?
Airfree warranty is 24 months from the date of purchase. Please make sure you keep your Warranty card and store receipt.

What is CADR?
CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate, and it is a way to measure how fast an air cleaner removes airborne contaminants over a short period of time. CADR is a standard laboratory test for some manufacturers in the air purifier industry, using a specific size chamber with premeasured levels of airborne particulates.

Does CADR measure the effectiveness of the Airfree?
No. 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 the 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 Airfree does not filter but destroys microorganisms instead, and 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, which is only detectable by a microbiology lab. Airfree destroys (not trap or attract to a 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.

Does the Airfree anti-stress light interfere with Airfree's sterilizing function?
No. The anti-stress light has an aesthetic effect and can be relaxing too or simply used as a night light in children or newborn bedrooms. According to chromo therapy the blue light has a calming and relaxing effect.

My Airfree P1000 or Platinum 2000 anti stress light is blinking, what does it mean?
Always keep Airfree in its vertical position. Do not attempt to use it sideways, under furniture, or with its bottom air inlets or outlets blocked, preventing air to flow in and sterilized air to flow out. If any of the above occurs, the Thermo-dynamic sterilizing ceramic core will be disconnected as the unit will not work properly in those conditions, and after about one minute, the anti-stress light will start blinking to call your attention, indicating poor installation, or eventual malfunctioning. After a few seconds of being properly installed the anti-stress light will stop blinking. If the light does not stop blinking after 5 minutes, please contact service.
