* The number in this technology mark indicates an 
approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm3, 
which is measured around the center of a room with 
the “high-density plasmacluser 7000” applicable floor 
area (at 1.2 m height above the floor) at the medium 
wind volume in humidifying & air purifying mode, or in 
air purifying mode, when a humidifi er/air  purifi er 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 corresponding to this capacity.

							NOTE
The air purifi er draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-
Filter, a Washable Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then 
discharges the air through the air outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust 
particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the fi lter and also helps absorb 
odours.
The Washable Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odours as they pass through the 
fi lter.
Some odours absorbed by the fi lters may break down over time, resulting in additional 
odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in 
extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this 
odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, the 
fi lters should be replaced.
•  The air purifi er is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases (for 
example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odour still exists, the 
air purifi er may not completely remove the odour.

sparks from lit cigarettes, chemical fumes in the air, or in locations where the unit may get wet, 
such as a bathroom.
•
 Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• When carrying the unit, remove the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray fi rst and hold the unit by 
handles on both sides.
•
 Do not drink the water in the Humidifying Tray or Water Tank.
•
 Change the water in the Water Tank daily with fresh tap water and regularly clean the Water Tank 
and Humidifying Tray. (See E-12 and E-13). When unit is not in use, dispose of the water in the 
Water Tank and Humidifying Tray. Leaving water in the Water Tank and/or Humidifying Tray may 
result in mold, bacteria, and bad odours. 
  In rare cases, this bacteria may cause harmful physical effects.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
•
 Do not block the intake and/or air outlet.
•
 Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters, or where it may come into 
contact with steam.
•
 Always operate the unit in an upright position.
• Hold the unit by using the handles on both sides when moving. 
  Do not move when the unit is in operation.
• 
Do not move or change the direction of the main unit while dragging the casters.
• 
Lift it up and move such as a tatami mat, a fl oor which gets damaged easily, an uneven place, and 
thick-poled carpet.
• 
When moving by the caster, move it in a horizontal direction.
• 
Turn the appliance off and remove the water tank before moving, take care not to catch your 
fi ngers.
• Do not operate the unit without the filters, Water Tank, and Humidifying Tray properly 
installed. 
• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA fi lter.
  Not only does it not improve fi lter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
  Do not use volatile fl uids and/or detergents.
  The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.
  In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
• Frequency of maintenance required (descaling) will depend on the hardness or the 
impurities of the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be 
necessary.
• Keep the unit away from water.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• When using the unit, place at least 2m away from equipment utilizing electric waves such 
as televisions or radios to avoid electrical interference.
• Avoid a location where the sensor is exposed to direct wind.
  The unit may not operate properly.
• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact with and 
restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.
• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic temperature 
changes. Appropriate conditions are when room temperature is between 5 – 35 ºC.
• Place on a stable surface with suffi cient air circulation.
 
  When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly.
  Place the unit on an even surface to avoid water leakage from the Water Tank and/or Humidifying 
Tray.
• Avoid locations where grease or oily smoke is generated.
  The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction as a result.
• Place the unit about 30 cm(1 ft) away from the wall in order to ensure proper airfl ow. 
  The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an 
extended period of time in the same location, periodically clean the wall and protect the wall with a 
vinyl sheet, etc. to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. 
FILTER GUIDELINES
•
 Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the fi lters.
