Bought in March 2018. We believed that only one of the two turbines work but in fact they both do.
One of the two air sensors was clogged and we cleaned it but we suspect the second one is clogged too. To clean it we would have to dismantle the bottom of the machine which is hard to do, so this maintenance operation hasn't been done yet.
Until the sensors are properly fixed the machine is not operating reliably, and generates less airflow than needed.
To turn on the filter, push the "on" button for 2 seconds.
Maximum ventilation capacity is 400m³. We recommend setting it at 330m³ at first, then keep an eye on the smoke level inside the laser machine. If it's too much, increase the ventilation or pause the cut for a bit.
When you are done wait for all the smoke to clear (it might take 5-10 seconds) before you open the door.
- We replaced the entire filter stack (prefilter, HEPA and carbon) in April 2018.
