AIR PURIFIER with Humidifying Function OPERATION MANUAL

*The number in this technology mark indicates the approximate number of ions supplied into 1 cm ^3 of air, which is measured around the center of a room (with the "High-Density Plasmacluster 7000" applicable floor area), at a height of 1.2m above the floor, at the MAX wind volume setting in air purifying mode, and when a humidifier & air purifier or an air purifier using the high-density plasmacluster ion evolving device is placed close to a wall. This product is equipped with a device of corresponding capacity.

Before operating your new air purifier, please read the following

The air purifier draws in room air through the air intake, circulates it through a Pre-Filter, a Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside the unit, and then discharges it through the air outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the filter and also helps absorb odors. The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odors as they pass through the filter.

Some odors absorbed by the filters will break down over time, causing additional odors. Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the product is used in environments significantly more severe than a normal household, these odors may become noticeable sooner than expected. If these odors persist, replace the filters. (Ref. E-14)

NOTE

- The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the odors. The air purifier is not designed to remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke. The air purifier may not completely remove an odor if the source of the odor is still present.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

LIFE OF FILTERS

Filter life varies depending on the room environment, usage conditions, and location of the unit. Lifespan of HEPA filter and Deodorizing filter and replacement suggestions are based on purifying a room in which 5 cigarettes are smoked per day and the unit's dust collection and deodorizing performance has declined to half the level of a new filter.

We recommend replacing the filter more frequently if the unit is used in conditions significantly more severe (HAZE etc.,) than a normal household.

•HEPA Filter About 2 years after first use
•Deodorizing Filter About 2 years after first use
