5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Before cleaning the device, make sure it is turned off. Then, gently wipe it with
a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products or
detergents. To disinfect the surface of the device, use rubbing alcohol and a
microfiber cloth.
Be careful not to allow any water inside the device, as this can cause
damage. Do not turn the device on before it is completely dry.
5.2 Replacing the Main HEPA Filter
STEP 1: Turn the device off and
open the top cover by pulling it up
from the left side.
STEP 2: Carefully remove the used
filter using the pulling strip, then
place it in a plastic bag and
dispose of it as general waste.
NOTE: If the previously inserted filter is stuck with the plastic edge, remove the
filter and the filter's foam. Make sure to remove the foam's glue on the plastic
surface before inserting the new filter. Ensure you insert the new filter straight,
not at an angle, so it will not get stuck next time.

designated filter slot with the
pulling strip at the top. Make sure
you insert the filter straight (not at
an angle).

onto the device.
STEP 5: To reset the filter timer, hold the power button down until the blue
indicator light turns off (approximately 8 seconds).

5.3 Cleaning and Replacing the Washable Pre-Filter
The role of the pre-filter is to prevent larger particles from reaching the
ventilators and prolong the lifetime of the main filter.
We recommend cleaning the pre-filter once a month by vacuum cleaning in the
gaps of the bottom cover, which will remove any large particles.
The pre-filter should be changed after every 400 hours of operation – or at the
same time as every second main filter change. To replace the filter, perform
the following steps:
STEP 1: Open the pre-filter cover
using the release mechanism.
STEP 2: Remove the used washable
pre-filter and clean it, or dispose of it
as general waste if it is damaged.
STEP 3: Insert the cleaned or
new pre-filter into the designated
filter slot.
STEP 4: Close the cover by inserting
the studs into the designated slots
and then pushing the release
mechanism back into place.

Replacement pre-filters can be ordered from our website (www.respiray.com)
or by contacting us at info@respiray.com.
5.4 Storing the Device
The device should be stored at room temperature (64–82 °F / 18–28 °C) and
in a low-humidity environment (30–50% relative humidity). To preserve the
battery during longer periods of storage, we also recommended that you first
charge the device to around 33–67% (so that one LED is lit and two are blinking).
Do not store the device around combustible or inflammable objects.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does Respiray Wear A+ do?
The wearable air purifier Wear A+ relieves airborne allergies and protects the wearer
from airborne pollutants and pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, by creating a
clean air zone around the face without covering the face or restricting breathing.
2. How does it work?
Respiray Wear A+ uses a highly effective HEPA filter that filters out most of the
allergens that can cause irritation and distress: pollen, dust mites, pet dander, etc. It is
also effective against air pollution and pathogens like viruses and bacteria.
3. Is the device safe for children?
This depends on each child´s age and activity levels. If they feel comfortable while
wearing the device, it will not pose them any harm with normal use. However, if the child
falls and lands on top of the device, they could potentially be hurt or injured.
4. Is the device’s battery replaceable?
No, the battery is currently integrated into the device and therefore not replaceable.
Please do not attempt to separate the battery from the casing or replace it.
5. How much air does the device clean?
In the normal mode, the device cleans 2.4 cubic feet / 70 liters of air per minute.
In the higher mode, the device cleans 4.2 cubic feet / 120 liters of air every minute.
6. Is the device water resistant?
No, the device is not water resistant, and it is not intended for use in humid or wet
environments.
7. How long does the HEPA filter last?
The HEPA filter should be replaced after every 200 hours of operation. We generally
recommend replacing the filter after 3 months if it has been used less than 200 hours
during this period. The filter should also be replaced if accumulated dust or other
particles are visible on the device or if the filter is clogged and causes the ventilators to
produce more noise.
