Instructions

    • 1

      Cut the Cardboard box into four pieces, leaving two pieces larger than the other two. The smaller pieces are to be used in corners and the larger ones for top and bottom. Make a small hole for power cord of the fan in one of the corner boxes.

      Use the glue to stick the two corner boxes with the bottom piece and leave the top part open. Side pieces should sit on top of the bottom piece. Now glue the top part and make a complete box. The box should have two sides open. There is nothing at the front and at the back but it has a bottom part, a top part and two sides.

      Cut the sheet of filter into two pieces. Put the filter in the front of the box. Use glue or tape to fix the filter to the box. Put the fan inside the box facing the front of the box and the filter. Check that the fan is working. Make sure it is not very small and it should be just the same size or a little smaller than the size of the filter.

      Use the hole created for power cord to bring the cord out of the box. Attach the UV bulb inside the box and bring its power cord as well through the same hole that is being used for the power cord of the fan.

      Put the rear filter in the box. Attach in the same manner as the front filter, use glue or tape and make sure it is facing the front filter.

      Plug the power cord in the socket and turn on the fan. All the dust particles will automatically be caught in the air filters and it will purify the air. The UV bulb will help kill germs, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Enjoy inhaling fresh clean air and relax.
