Frequently Asked Questions - EP-A3000 HITACHI

How do I operate the air purifier with the remote control?
Point the remote at the infrared receiver on the purifier. Press the On/Off button to start or stop. Use Mode to switch between Auto modes, Airflow to adjust fan speed, Max for maximum operation, and Timer to set a 2-hour off-timer.
What are the three Auto modes and when should I use each?
The Auto modes are: Air Purify (normal, automatic), Odor (quicker response to smells, switches to Max faster), and Pollen (20 minutes Medium then automatic at Silent or Med). Choose based on your main concern.
How should I clean the pre-filter?
Remove the panel and pre-filter monthly. Use a vacuum cleaner or wash with water and a soft brush. Let it dry completely in a shaded, ventilated area before reinstalling.
When should I replace the main filter?
Replace the filter approximately every 2 years under normal use (5 cigarettes per day). Replace earlier if the filter color matches the dirtiness label or if odor removal decreases. Use genuine Hitachi filter EP-DX40E-902.
Why does the airflow not decrease in Auto mode even when the room seems clean?
The odor sensor may detect invisible gas components not removed by the filter. The purifier continues to run to monitor air quality. Ventilate the room if needed. The fan may also run silently during standby detection.
What should I do if the purifier does not blow air or turn on?
Check that the power plug is securely inserted and the breaker is on. If the filter is dirty, replace it. Also ensure the panel is properly closed.
Can I wash the main filter?
No, the main filter is not washable. Washing will damage it. Only the pre-filter can be washed. Replace the main filter when dirty.
What is the memory function?
When using the remote control, the purifier remembers the last operation settings (except timer) if operated for more than 5 seconds. Unplugging the power cord resets to factory defaults.
Does the purifier consume power when not in use?
Yes, if plugged in, it consumes approximately 0.4W in standby. Unplug the unit if not used for an extended period.
Can I use this air purifier in a kitchen?
No, do not use it as a substitute for a ventilating fan in a kitchen. It is not designed to remove cooking fumes or oil smoke. Use in living rooms or bedrooms.

Selecting Auto Mode (Basics)

●3 Auto modes are available for your choice.
●The fan will not stop during operation in the Auto Mode.

Auto Modes and Tips for Selection

Mode Tips for Selection
HITACHI EP-A3000 - Auto Modes and Tips for Selection - 1This is a normal operation mode.· The odor sensor detects the degree of air contamination, and airflow rate is switched automatically.
HITACHI EP-A3000 - Auto Modes and Tips for Selection - 2This mode is recommended when you have concerns about room odor.· The odor sensor detects the degree of air contamination and switches to “MAX” operation quicker than when the unit operates in the “Air Purify” mode.
[Z6xw]This mode is recommended when you have concerns about pollen contamination.· The operation with Medium airflow is continued for 20 minutes. Then, the odor sensor detects the degree of air contamination and automatic operation (at “Silent” or “Med” airflow rate) is continued for another 20 minutes. After that, these operations are repeated.

Memory Function / Sensors / Auto Detection

Memory Function (Only with the remote controller)

- When you stop the operation and then restart, the purifier will resume the operation status before shutdown.

  • If you operate the purifier for approx. 5 seconds or longer, the operation status will be stored in memory. (If you stop the operation within less than 5 seconds, the operation status will not be stored in memory.)
  • The timer setting is not saved in memory.
  • The saved memory is cleared and the factory settings are restored by unplugging the power plug.

Odor Sensor

●The sensor detects odor in air such as cigarette smoke or odor of pet animals. Even when you feel the air is clean, the purifier may continue the operation if the odor sensor finds any gas component not removed by the filter. → P.E-14

Any of the following may also be detected by the odor sensor.

- Combustible gas when a combustion appliance is running, alcohol, odor of cosmetics, sprays, vapors, abrupt temperature changes, etc.

HITACHI EP-A3000 - Odor Sensor - 1

Auto Detection

●The air purifier unit detects the degree of air contamination in the room with the odor sensor and then starts automatic operation. In the first 3 minutes after the power cord is plugged in, the unit will check room air condition and save it in memory. During the time, the "Air Purify" indicator will blink. After 3 minutes, the "Air Purify" indicator will go off and the purifier is now ready to operate.
- You may start the operation in less than 3 minutes after plugging the power cord. In this case too, the "Air Purify" indicator will continue to blink, meaning the unit is checking the room air condition. After 3 minutes, the indicator will light solidly if the unit is running air purification operations in the Auto Mode.
- If you plug in the power cord under contaminated air condition, the sensor sensitivity may be reduced.

Cleaning (Guide for cleaning: Once a month)

Note

  • Do not splash water on the purifier body. Water splash can be a cause of failure.
  • Do not use a volatile solvent, such as gasoline, thinner, benzene, wax, kerosene, alcohol, etc. or polishing powder, or alkaline cleaner.

Such chemicals could cause deformation, discoloration, damage or removal of prints.

  • When using a chemically treated cloth, follow its instructions.
    ● Never use dryer or heater to dry the purifier case. Heating could cause deformation.

Note

- Lay a soft cloth or the like beneath the purifier to protect the floor against scratch.

Purifier Body

- Remove dirt on the unit or panel with a soft cloth moistened with water or neutral detergent, and wrung. After removing dirt, wipe the unit or panel carefully so that there is no detergent on it.

Filter Replacement

Replacement Interval

■The filter is a consumable part.
For the filter replacement interval, use approx. 2 years as a guide when the air purifier processes the smoke generated by 5 cigarettes smoking a day.
The dust filter should be replaced early if its color shows the resemblance to the color on the dirtiness label attached to the purifier body.

●The colors on the dirtiness label are shown as a guide only. Depending on the place of installation, actual color of contaminated filter may differ from the color shown on this label.

For a room with not much cigarette smoking

The filter may need to be replaced earlier depending on the place of installation and conditions of use. When dirt or odor becomes harder to remove, replace the filter earlier than suggested. Otherwise, the filter may generate odor.
■The filter should be replaced earlier in the following cases.

  • When purifier intakes oily smoke, carbon substance (soot), etc. or when the smell of new building materials remains after a new house is built or the house is remodeled.
  • When used in stores, such as in coffee shops, game parlors, barber shops, beauty parlors, or in offices or hotels.
  • When purifier intakes large amounts of cigarette smoke.
  • When purifier intakes combustion gas generated by heating appliances.
  • When purifier intakes solvent content of paint, adhesive, etc.
  • When used in dusty place near a road where the traffic is heavy.

Precautions on Filter Handling

■ Be sure to take the filter out of a plastic bag before use.
- Do not set the filter when it is still in a plastic bag. Otherwise, malfunction may result.
■Avoid rough handling.
- Do not squeeze, knead, roll up or pull the filter. Once the filter is broken, the cleaning effect will be lost.
■ Do not wash the filter.
●The filter is not washable for reuse. Purchase a new filter for replacement.

Replacing the Filter

■Use the filter No. EP-DX40E-902 separately available.
■Before replacing the filter, be sure to stop the purifier and unplug the power cord from AC outlet.
