FAKIR VIGOR PLUS (01) PDF Document

Please open windows for air ventilation before plugging in the FAKIR VIGOR PLUS. Strive to maintain an environment of fresh indoor air.

After plugging in, the unit sensor will retain a memory of the existing indoor air condition, which will be input as “Clean Air”. Once started, the odor indicator will blink as it memorizes the existing fresh air condition. After two minutes, the indicator will die off to indicate an end of memorization. Whenever the unit is unplugged, all memorized content will be erased.

If the FAKIR VIGOR PLUS is turned on two minutes after plugging in, the odor sensor indicator will not blink.

When smoke, make up or spray that contains alcohol is present, please ventilate and freshen the air before closing Windows.

The FAKIR VIGOR PLUS will not be able to operate effectively if it is plugged while indoor air is polluted.

Sometimes the sensor is not as sensitive when first purchased or after being unplugged for over a week. Its sensitivity will recover after one or two days of operation.

Place the FAKIR VIGOR PLUS at least with a distance of 30 cm to the wall and where children cannot touch within a short range of distance.

To prevent interference and distortion, the FAKIR VIGOR PLUS should be at least 1 meter away from computer, television or radio.

Plug the FAKIR VIGOR PLUS into a proper socket. Press the POWER ON/OFF button. The device starts operating as the negative ion UV indicator is on. Press POWER ON/OFF again and the device will stop working.

The FAKIR VIGOR PLUS has four different ventilation stages and the stage for automatic operation. Please select a stage appropriate for the room size and climate. By repeatedly pressing the “FLOW” button, the ventilation stage setting is changed.

Press the “FLOW” button until the LED diode indicates “AUTO”. The device will now operate in automatic mode.

In automatic mode, the device independently switches to the appropriate operating speeds (MED or LOW), depending on odors, dust, or irritants detected in the room air by the sensor. As the air is purified, the device will automatically switch back to LOW or QUIET modes.

Press the TIMER button repeatedly to set the desired operating time. The LED diodes indicate the following times: 1 Hour > 2 Hour > 8 Hour > 1 Hour …

Press the Ion-UV button on the remote control to switch the ionization on or off.
