Operation is via a control panel on the purifier or with the IQAir App. The purifier is equipped with built-in air quality sensors. All air quality parameters are shown in the IQAir App while the Air Quality Index is indicated on the purifiers control panel. The built-in PM2.5 sensor drives the purifiers Smart Mode - Automatic control for optimal air cleaning performance. The Atem Xs advanced filter management ensures that filter life is monitored to ensure good air cleaning performance, while minimizing maintenance and filter replacements. Component Overview A B C D E F Front cover Inner cover Inlet grille Impaktor Filter Inlet area Control panel G Strap H Plug I Power cord J Cord channel K L Stand M Mobile base 3 Setup & Positioning Choosing a Suitable Location Atem X can be placed directly against a wall or any other vertical surface, such as a cupboard or beside a sofa. It does not have to be positioned in the middle of the room. Rotate the purifier to change the direction of the air flow as desired. Ideally position the purifier so that the control panel is facing upward, i.e. at the twelve-o-clock position the Atem X then directs air upwards, away from the wall, for very good air circulation to clean the whole room. Installation Floor standing Place the purifier on the floor. The stands non-slip feet ensure a steady stance on most floor surfaces. Optionally, mount the purifier onto the mobile base if you need to move it on a regular basis. The mobile base works well on hard surfaces, it is not suited for use on carpet surfaces. Arrange the supply cord where it will not be tripped over, away from traffic areas. Excess cord can be stowed in the cord channel. The purifier can be mounted onto walls with the optional Atem X wall-
mounting kit. Refer to the mounting instructions supplied with the wall-
mounting kit. Wall mounting 4 Using Your Air Purifier Control Atem X from your smart phone with the IQAir App or the purifiers touch sensitive control panel.

A yellow warning symbol on the control panel tells you that the filter set needs to be replaced soon, make sure that you have a replacement filter set. A red warning symbol tells you that the filter is full and needs to be replaced. Unplug the power cord and stow it in cord channel before changing the filters. Always replace the complete filter set, i.e. all three filter elements. Step 1 Remove the front cover Simply grab in and pull the front cover away from the purifier. 8
Step 2 Rotate Rotate the purifier body clockwise until it reaches the end stop. Rotating the purifier gives you easy access to each of the filters - you do not have to stoop down to change filters. Step 3 Remove the inlet grille Consider that the Impaktor, which is latched on the inside of the inlet grill could have trapped a lot of dust, hair and lint. Use a vacuum cleaner fitted with dust brush attachment to remove any loose dust from the grille and the Impaktor. Open the locking levers Rotate both locking levers to the open position. Remove the grille Slide away the inlet grille to expose the filter. Carefully set aside the inlet grille. 9 Step 4 Remove the used filter Press the latch towards the filter to unlock and remove the filter. Do not try to clean and/or reuse the filters. Filters may be disposed with household waste. Step 5 Insert the replacement filter Make sure that the filters orientation tab is facing towards the front of the purifier. Slide to the left Insert the filter into the inlet opening. Slide the filter towards the left. Press down Pivot the filter down into the inlet opening. Press on the two ribbed corners until the filters latch snaps in behind the catch. 10 Step 6 Remove and clean the Impaktor Pull the center tab. Once removed, the Impaktor can be thoroughly cleaned with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner fitted with a brush attachment. If required, the Impaktor can be cleaned further by rinsing under running water at a wahbasin and then letting it dry. After it has dried, the cleaned Impaktor can be inserted back into the inlet grille. Replace the Impaktor Ensure that the slots on the Impaktor match tabs on the inner side of the grille (the left and right sides are made different to ensure that the Impaktor is inserted the right way round). Hook the Impaktor slots underneath the grilles tabs the Impaktor will arch outwards. Press downwards onto the center of the Impaktor. Replace the inlet grille Locking levers open Ensure that both the locking levers are in the open position. Slide in the grille Take care that the tabs on inlet grille slot into the slide on both sides of the inlet opening. Gently slide the inlet grille back into position. Close locking levers Move both the locking levers into their respective closed positions. Repeat Steps 3 6 Repeat the process for the remaining two filters. Remember that you can rotate the purifier counterclockwise to gain easy access. Replace the front cover Push the front cover back into place. The spigot on the inside of the front cover slides into socket in the inner cover. 11 Technical Specifications Model Atem X Room Air Purifier Input voltage
