Warning

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not misuse or inadequately utilize the appliance, and should not play with the appliance.

Do not modify this device. Any disassembly or repair should be conducted by qualified technicians.

This may cause a fire, electrical shock, or injury. Consult with the place of purchase regarding any repairs.

Remove the power plug from the wall outlet before cleaning. In addition, do not insert or pull out the power plug with wet hands.

This may cause an electrical shock or injury.

Do not use this device if the cord or power plug is damaged or if the wall outlet is loose.

This may cause an electrical shock, short circuit, or fire.

Do not scratch, damage, modify, forcefully bend, pull, twist, or bundle the power cord. In addition, do not place heavy objects on or clamp the cord.

This will damage the cord and may cause a fire or electrical shock.

Use only the specified voltage as the power source.

This may cause a fire or electrical shock.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Caution

Do not hold the cord when unplugging from the wall outlet. Always hold the end of the power plug when unplugging the cord.

In addition, periodically wipe away any dust on the power plug.

This may cause a fire from an electrical shock or short circuit.

Do not wipe with petrol or paint thinner and do not spray with insecticides.

This may cause the cord to crack, an electrical shock, or fire.

E-1

Caution

Ensure there is adequate ventilation when using this device with combustible appliances.

This may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. ¡This device does not eliminate carbon monoxide.

Ensure that combustible material or cigarette or incense particles still on fire are not drawn into this device.

This may cause a fire.

Do not use in places with oil particles, i.e. from machinery, suspended in the air.

This may cause cracks or the falling of this device may cause injury.

Ensure that the power plug is removed from the wall outlet when this device is not in use for long periods of time. Dispose of the water in the electrolyzed water unit and tank.

This may cause an electrical shock or fire.

Do not place fingers or foreign objects in the air intake or vent.

This may cause an electrical shock or malfunctions.

Do not use this device in extremely humid environments, i.e. bathrooms.

This may cause an electrical shock or malfunctions.

¡Store this manual in an accessible location after reading.

¡Dispose of the water in the tank if the water has a chance of freezing. If the water freezes, it

 

may cause the device to malfunction.

 

¡If the temperature of the water is low (10°C or below), the sterile electrolytic mist may not be

 

emitted.

Unit Installation

1 Place the unit on a stable and horizontal surface and in a location where the air circulates well around the room.

¡This unit operates more effectively when the unit is set in the middle of a wall facing the center of the room.

Caution

¡Unplug the unit when moving or not using for extended periods and dispose of the water in the electrolyzed water unit and tank (water may spill or mold and bacteria may develop).

¡Do not tilt the unit when in use. The electrolyzed water unit may cease to operate properly or water may spill.

Note:

¡Do not set in a location where the air inlet or outlet may be covered.

¡Ensure that AV equipment, i.e. TV and radios, is located at least 6.5ft away (noise may interfere with the equipment).

Ventilate the room to clean the air before plugging the cord into the wall outlet.

2 ¡When the power plug is inserted into the wall outlet and the unit starts operating, the sensor will detect the cleanliness of the air and use this as a reference for making settings. The automatic operation lamp (green) will flash for a short while (about 3 minutes) while this is being done. If the air quality is detected as being clean, the settings will be updated automatically to reflect this.
