• Pathogens: This mode is recommended, inter alia, for premises with mold. Viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms are also filtered by the Air Genius 5 from the intake air. All air particles that are 0.3 microns or larger.
• General: Normal operation as it is used most of the time. The background noise is stronger than in sleep mode. At the same time, the filter performance in general operation is higher.
• Allergens: With this mode, users benefit from efficient allergen elimination. For example, house dust or mites. The use of this mode is especially recommended for allergy sufferers and asthmatics.
• Max: This mode is recommended if a quick air cleaning is desired. For example, if a meal has just been prepared or if you want to remove other odors in a room. If the operation is still audible for people who are sensitive to noise, Max Mode is recommended shortly before going to sleep to purify the air in the bedroom.

Care and cleaning

This not only reduces the costs, but also the effort. The filter can be reached easily by removing the front with the louvers. Afterwards the filter is taken out and washed out with clear water.
