Dust sensor cover page 9 Cover page 6 Cover switch (use to open/close the cover on the filter slot) Deodorizing/dust collecting/anti-bacterial filter (removes the dust and odor particulates) page 6, 10About air cleaning function
This unit is not designed to eliminate all pollutants in the air. (For example, it does not eliminate carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke.)
Also, this product does not have the ventilating function. When using in a closed room, open a window to air out the room occasionally.
Photocatalytic Lamp
The blue activated carbon in the deodorizing/dust collecting/anti-bacterial filter does not use the conventional ultraviolet ray reaction type, but instead uses a new type of photocatalytic technology that reacts with visible light.
The lamp in the product uses a long life blue LED, and does not have any effects on eyes or the human body in the way ultraviolet rays do, but since the light is strong, when performing maintenance such as removing the filter to replace it, unplug the power plug and avoid looking directly into the light.
(The photocatalytic lamp will turn off if the cover is removed.)
Odor and Dust Monitor
The odor and dust sensors detect pollutants in the air and indicates the air environment in the room with the colors blue, yellow, and red.
Odor and dust monitor Air environment of room
| Blue | Clean | |
| Yellow | Slightly | polluted |
| Red | Polluted |
Odor and dust sensors
| Detected objects | |
| Odor sensorThe odor sensor is placed on the backside of the unit. | Detects cigarette, pet, and cosmetic odors. |
| Dust sensorThe dust sensor is placed on the backside of the unit. | Detects house dust (dust, pollen, etc.) and cigarette smoke. |
Note
- The odor and dust sensors may react to changes in temperature and humidity.
- The odor sensor may not react depending on the odor components.
- For the first five minutes after turning the power on, the sensors are initializing and the unit cannot indicate the exact air condition.
Illumination Intensity Sensor
Detects ambient brightness. The glowing indicators dim when surroundings become dark. They increase brightness when surroundings become bright.
Installing the Deodorizing/Dust Collecting/Anti-Bacterial Filter
1 Remove the cover.
Slide down the cover switch on the rear of the unit①, and remove the cover②.

About operation mode
| Automatic | Normally use this mode.The room condition is detected with the odor and dust sensors, and the air volume setting switched between low, middle, and high. |
| Eco | Used in situations with low volumes of air pollutants, such as at night.Only the power button and eco-mode indicator light up and the unit operates with low air volume setting. (The photocatalytic lamp is also off.) |
| Rapid | Use this mode if you want to quickly clean the air.The unit operates with an air volume stronger than the high air volume setting for 2 hours, then changes to automatic mode. |
Changing the Air Volume
Press the air volume button (f)
Air volume and operation mode cannot be configured simultaneously. Each time the air volume button is pressed, it makes a beeping sound and the air volume mode changes. The indicator of the selected air volume will light up.
Operation continues with the selected air volume.

Press the timer button (b)
Each time the timer button is pressed, it makes a beeping sound and the time setting changes.
The indicator of the selected timer will light up.
The timer setting will be deactivated when the timer is off.
Turning off the Odor and Dust Monitor
Press the light button ( )
If the light button is pressed during operation, there will be a beeping sound and the odor and dust monitor will turn off. If the light button is pressed again, it will light up again.
Note
The inlet lamp will not turn off completely even after the light button is pressed. This light is from the photocatalytic lamp that always lights inside of the unit.
Deodorizing/Dust Collecting/Anti-Bacterial Filter

Replacing the Deodorizing/Dust Collecting/Anti-Bacterial Filter
The deodorizing/dust collecting/anti-bacterial filter cannot be washed with water. Replace it regularly.
The timing to change the deodorizing/dust collecting/anti-bacterial filter depends on the environment in which the unit is used, but generally replace it every 6-12 months ^*1 (“*1” on page 13). When the filter needs to be replaced, the filter replacement indicator will light up.
1 Unplug the power plug from the wall outlet.
2 Slide down the cover switch on the rear of the unit ①, and remove the cover ②.
