Congratulations on buying this Philips Air Cleaner!
With your Philips Air Cleaner HR 4366 or HR 4368
you can effectively improve the quality of the air you
breathe at home and in the office.
It significantly reduces indoor air pollution caused by
pollen, dust, bacteria, viruses, fungi, moulds, yeasts
and smoke as well as many household odours and
smells from outside (e.g. from traffic or industry).
When comparing air cleaners, you will see that
many terms are used by manufacturers to show
how effective their products are. The measure that
indicates best the effectiveness of an air cleaner as
a whole is the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). In
general, an air cleaner with a higher CADR will
remove airborne particles faster from a room of a
particular size than one with a lower CADR.
The CADR’s of the HR 4366 for tobacco smoke,
dust and pollen are 46, 54 and 79 m
3
/h. (HR 4368:
84, 98 and 143 m
3
/h).
How does the Philips Air Cleaner work?
To remove even the smallest particles from the air,
the HR 4366 employs an unique 3-stage filter
system. The HR 4368 employs the 3-stage filter
system on each side.
Pre-filter
The foam prefilter catches the larger dust particles
such as fluff and hairs.
HEPA/carbon filter
HEPA filter
This (white) filter is made from glass fibres closely
matted together to prevent particles from passing
through. Similar filters are used in most hospital
operating rooms.
Active carbon filter
The black filter is the active carbon filter.
Active carbon is the only material that effectively
adsorbs household odours like tobacco smoke, pet
and cooking odours.

Which type of Air Cleaner is suitable?
To purify effectively the air in a room or a part of a
room we advise:
- Air cleaner type HR 4366 for rooms up to approx.
12 m
2
(= ± 30 m
3
).
- Air cleaner type HR 4368 for rooms up to approx.
22 m
2
(= ± 55 m
3
).
It is also possible to place more than one air
cleaner in the same room. This is particularly
advisable if the room is very large and/or has an
irregular shape. In that case, place the air cleaners
as far away from each other as possible.

Positioning
• Place the air cleaner on a hard surface
(e.g. table, shelf, desk etc.) in such a way that the
air inlet and air outlet openings are not blocked.
• Place the air cleaner at least 90 cm above the
floor for optimal airflow.
• Avoid placing the air cleaner in a place where the
airflow of the appliance may be restricted.
• The versatile design of the air cleaner offers a
choice between two different operating positions
(fig. 2).
