Frequently Asked Questions - MC70LPVM DAIKIN

How do I clean the prefilter?

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, then rinse with water. If heavily soiled, use a soft brush or neutral detergent. Dry completely in the shade before reinstalling. Do not dry in direct sunlight.

What does the UNIT1 lamp indicate and how do I clean it?

The UNIT1 lamp lights when the plasma ioniser needs cleaning. Remove UNIT1, vacuum dust, then soak in lukewarm water for about 1 hour. Wipe gently, rinse, and dry thoroughly for about a day before reattaching.

How do I replace the pleated filter?

When the filter lamp lights or blinks, replace the pleated filter. Remove the front panel and UNIT1, release the old filter from the deodorising catalyst unit, attach a new filter (white side front), reassemble, and press the filter reset button for 5 seconds until the lamp goes off.

What is the Streamer function?

The Streamer discharge is a plasma discharge that generates high-speed electrons with strong oxidation power to decompose odours quickly. It produces a faint hissing sound (normal) and a negligible amount of ozone that is safe.

How do I set the OFF TIMER?

Press the OFF TIMER button on the remote control repeatedly to select 1, 2, or 4 hours. The timer lamp will show the remaining time. To cancel, press again until no time is displayed.

How do I activate the childproof lock?

Press the LOCK button on the remote control for about 2 seconds to engage. The childproof lock lamp (orange) lights up. Press and hold LOCK again for 2 seconds to release. You can also release by unplugging the unit for 3 seconds.

Why does the unit not operate?

First, ensure the front panel is properly closed (safety switch activated). Check that the power plug is fully inserted. The remote control battery may be dead; replace with a CR2025 coin battery. Also verify that the childproof lock is not engaged.

The odour sensor shows green even though there is a smell. What should I do?

The odour sensor records the initial odour level for 1 minute. If odour intensity remains constant, the sensor may not detect it. Increase the airflow rate manually to a higher setting. Alternatively, reset the baseline by unplugging the unit for 3 seconds and restarting in a clean environment.

Is the hissing sound from the unit normal?

Yes, the hissing sound is from the streamer discharge. It is normal and does not indicate a problem. The sound may vary with operating conditions. If it bothers you, try moving the unit to a different location.

How often should I replace the pleated filter?

Replace the pleated filter when the filter lamp lights or blinks, which typically occurs after about 2 years of daily use in a moderately polluted environment (e.g., 10 cigarettes per day). The interval may shorten in dirtier conditions.

Features

About air purifying

The powerful suction of a high airflow rate captures dust, pollen, etc.

The purifying capacity improves as the airflow rate increases.

    B --> C["Odour"]
    C --> D["Dust"]
    D --> E["Powerful suction from 3 directions"]

Effective against pollen

With the high airflow rate, even pollen that readily settles because of its large particle size is quickly caught.

Deodorising and decomposing odour in the air

The streamer discharge decomposes absorbed odour.

The decomposition cycle that maintains deodorising capability.

    D --> E["The repeating of this cycle maintains deodorising capability."]
    E --> F["Decomposition"]
    F --> G["The streamer discharge decomposes odour."]

What is the "Streamer" function?

This function uses a “streamer discharge”, a type of plasma discharge, to generate high-speed electrons with strong oxidation power inside the air purifier, reducing or removing odour swiftly. (The high-speed electrons are generated and absorbed within the unit to ensure your safety.)

The hissing sound of the streamer discharge may be heard during operation. It does not indicate any operational issue. In addition, the sound may become lower or the sound quality may change according to the operating environment. These cases are also not operational issues. You may smell an odour as a particle of ozone is generated. The amount is negligible, and does not harm your health.

An airflow rate lamp indicates the airflow rate during “A (Auto fan)” and “airfl ow manual” operation.

Air quality sensor lamp (dust sensor)

The three-colour indicators (green, yellow, red) indicate how unclean the air is.

When the air is clean, the green lamp lights up.

In the following case, only the green lamp lights up for the initial ■ 7 seconds regardless of the uncleanness level.

1) Operation directly after attaching the front panel and UNIT1
2) Operation directly after reconnecting the power plug

When the sensitivity of the air quality sensor is poor, change the setting.

Page 22.

The sensitivity of the air quality sensor may fall depending on the installation site or the size of particles.

If this bothers you, change the installation site of the unit (Page 11.) or adjust the sensitivity of the air quality sensor. (Page 22.)

Detectable Cigarette smoke, pollen, ticks, house dust, animal hair, diesel soot

Sometimes detectable Steam, oil vapours

Odour sensor lamp

The three-colour indicators (green, yellow, red) indicate the odour level.

When the air is clean, the green lamp lights up.

In the following case, only the green lamp lights up for the initial ■ 1 minute. The initial level of odour is recorded as the standard level.

1) Operation directly after attaching the front panel and UNIT1
2) Operation directly after reconnecting the power plug

If the odour level remains constant without intensifying or weakening, the odour sensor may not detect even strong odours.

The odour sensor may not detect certain types of odours such as pet odours other than ammonia, garlic, etc.

Even if only the green lamp lights up, you may notice some smell because the sensitivity is different among individuals.

If bothered by odours, set airflow manual operation and run the unit at a higher airflow rate.

Detectable	Cigarette odours, cooking odours, pet and toilet odours, raw waste odours, mildew odours, sprays, alcohol
Sometimes detectable	Sudden changes in temperature and humidity, odourless gases such as carbon monoxide, steam, oil vapours, gas from combustion appliances

Preparation before Operation

Installation of the unit ■

Installed on a table or the floor

CAUTION

- The wall where the air purifier is set may get dirty depending on the type of wall and environment, even if you follow the specified dimensions of left. In such cases, move the unit a safe distance away from the wall. If the air purifier is used for a long time at the same location, the bottom of the unit and floor may become dirty due to the suction air flow from the bottom of the unit. Periodic cleaning is recommended.

ATTENTION

The air is blown slightly to the right, but nothing is wrong with the unit.

Select a location which allows the air to reach the entire room.

- Place the air purifier on a flat area where it is stable. If the floor is uneven, the unit may vibrate excessively.

Hints for smart installation

To remove house dust, it is effective to install the unit at a lower position in the room. To remove cigarette smoke, it is effective to install the unit in a higher part of the room.

- If you install the air purifier opposite the air conditioner, the circulation effect is enhanced. The unit controls unevenness in the room temperature while cleaning the air during heating or cooling operation.

Keep TVs, radios and stereos 2m or more away from the unit.

(The effects of the power circuit inside the unit and cable may cause a distorted TV picture or noise.)

Keep cordless phones or atomic radio clocks away from this unit also.

■Start / Stop

• The default setting for the airflow rate is "A (Auto fan)" airfl ow. When you disconnect the power plug or remove the front panel, the setting for the airfl ow rate returns to "Auto fan".
• Before cleaning, make sure to stop operation and disconnect the power plug.

■Auto fan operation

• The airflow rate is automatically selected from “(Quiet)”, “(Low)”, “(Standard)”, or “(High)” according to the uncleanness level of the air.
• The purifying capacity improves as the airflow rate increases.

■Turbo operation

- A high airflow rate quickly removes any contaminants in the air. This is convenient to use when cleaning the room.

■Quiet operation

- A gentle flow of air is discharged. Use this operation especially while sleeping. During the quiet operation, the deodorising performance decreases. If the room is not deodorised well, please use the "Standard" or stronger operation mode.

■Anti-pollen operation

- The airflow rate switches over between "Standard" and "low" every 5 minutes and produces a moderate air stream to catch the pollen before it drops on the floor.

■Sleep mode operation

- The airflow rate is automatically selected from “(Quiet)” or “(Low)” according to the cleanliness level of the air. - This is convenient to use when sleeping.

■Timer operation

- The remaining time is indicated by the OFF TIMER lamp. - The set time can also be changed when the button is pressed while the timer is counting.
