2.2 Choosing a Suitable Location
When choosing a suitable location for the IQAir
system, keep the following considerations
in mind:
• Choosing the most suitable room for the
system will depend on where you would
like the focus of the air cleaning efforts. Two
main considerations are the time you spend
in a particular room and the location of the
main air pollution sources. As a general rule,
the closer the system is located to the air
pollution source, the better the air cleaning
performance in the room.
Although an air cleaning result may be achieved in adjacent rooms, the main air cleaning will take place in the
room where the system is located. For the best air cleaning results in adjacent rooms, make sure that doors to
these rooms are left wide open.
• For best performance, the system should be positioned at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from the nearest vertical
surface, such as a wall or a cupboard. In general, the more centrally the system is positioned, the better the
performance.
• Position the system close to a power outlet and make sure that the power cord is positioned in a way that it does
not present an obstacle in walkways.
• Make sure that the system is positioned in such a way that the control panel is easily accessible.
2.3 Connecting to Power
1. Plug the connector end of the power cord into the recessed power inlet socket on the back of the system.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip.
Important: The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord. If the system is
disconnected from the power supply for more than one hour, the current day and timer will need to be reset.
Do not use the IQAir system when the power cord becomes damaged. The power cord may be replaced with an
approved cord with a two-pole plug. Replacement cords are available from IQAir.
