FP-A40U-E.indd 1 11.4.20 8:24:46 AMPlease read before operating your new Air Purier Some odor ingredients absorbed by the lter may become separated and may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in a condition signicantly more severe than household use, this odor may become strong in a shorter period than expected. In this case we recommend purchasing the optional replacement lter kit FZ-A40SFU. NOTE

• The air purier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odor, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the odor sources still exist, it cannot completely remove the odor (for example, odors from construction materials and pet odors).

• It is suggested to open the window a bit when you are smoking in order to facilitate ventilation.
