FEATURES

Cluster Ion Control

The unit controls the ratio of minus cluster ions and plus cluster ions depending on the condition of the room.

• Clean mode

Approximately the same amount of plus and minus cluster ions are discharged. This mode is effective f or reducing floating mold and household odors in the air.

• Refresh mode

It is said that plenty of minus ions exist in places such as waterfalls or forests. In this operation mode, minus ions will be released in an increased rate, in order to bring the room air close to this condition.

•AUTO cluster ion mode

The unit will switch between the Clean mode and Refresh mode automatically depending on the amount of pollution in the air detected by dust and odor sensor.

HEPA Filter

• High-efficiency dust collection

Stamina-power carbon

Powerful deodorization by large particles of columnar charcoal.

FOR UNDERST ANDING THE PRODUCT

Some of the odor ingredients adsorbed by the filters become separated and are discharged through the exhaust port as odor. Depending on the usage environment, this odour may become strong after several months and the exhaust port may smell. In this case, purchase an exchange filter FZ-40SEF of the option goods, and replace the filters.

This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/ 336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

ABOUT THE CLEAN-SIGN LAMP

• The dust sensor displays a clean sign depending on the environment at the time the power plug is inserted in the wall outlet.

• When the air is extremely dirty at the time the power plug is inserted, the clean sign lamp may light green since the polluted state is the environment which the sensor bases the pollution rate on.

• In this case, switch manually to the desirable operation mode as effective operation can’t be done in auto operation.

•To reset the base pollution rate of the clean-sign lamp remove and insert the power plug.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

(To maintain the best performance of this product, please clean the unit periodically.)

When cleaning, be sure to remove the power plug from the wall outlet. In addition, never handle the power plug with wet hands. Electrical shock and/or bodily injury may occur as a result.

MAIN UNIT

For soiling on the main unit and the installed surface, clean as early as possible. Stubborn dirt may be hard to remove.

Dry wipe with a soft cloth

For stubborn dirt, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water or warm water of 40°C or less.

Do not use volatile fluids

Benzene, paint thinner , polishing powder , etc., may damage the unit surface.

Do not use detergents

Detergent ingredients may damage the unit surface.

Do not get wet

Never apply water on the unit.

ODOR SENSOR DUST SENSOR

The sensitivity of the sensors will become unstable if the odor or dust sensor is dirty or blocked. Remove dust on the surfaces of the sensor openings using a vacuum cleaner.

FILTERS

Clean using the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner without removing the pre-filter.

NOTE

Never wash or clean the HEPA filter or stamina-power carbon by directly contacting the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. This will greatly decrease the performance of the filters.

Odor sensor Dust sensor

E-12

GUIDE FOR LIFE OF FILTERS

• The replacement period differs depending on the usage hours and

location of installation.

• Some of the odor ingredients adsorbed by the filters become separated

and are discharged through the exhaust port as odor. Depending on the usage environment, this odor may become strong in several months and the exhaust port may smell. If dust or odors cannot be removed easily, replace the filters.

(Refer to page1, FOR UNDERSTANDING THE PRODUCT)

Guide for filter replacing timing

• The following is a guide from JEM 1467 b y Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association in Japan, and in JEM 1467, the replacement period is set as when smoking 10 cigarettes per day and the dust collection/deodorization power is reduced by half that of new filters.

• HEPA filter About 5 years after opening

• Stamina-power carbon About 5 years after opening

• The filter timer lamp is programmed to light in about 5 years, when using the unit for 12 hours everyday, in order to indicate accumulated usage time of the guide above.

• The filter timer lamp is to be used only as a guide.

• The operation hours are kept in memory even when removing the power plug for transportation to another room, etc.

REPLACING THE FILTERS

See page 8 “Installing the filters” for the replacement method.

After replacing the filters:

Be sure to press the Reset button on the remote control with the power plug inserted in the wall outlet. A short beep will be heard and the operation hours stored in the memory will be reset. If the filter replacement lamp is on, the lamp will turn off.

Fill in the usage start date of the filters on the date label in-

cluded with the replacement filters. Affix the label on top of the replacement label that is already on the back of the front panel.

Replacement filters

• HEPA filter: 1 unit

• Stamina-power carbon: 1 unit

Model: FZ-40SEF Please ask for replacement filters at your dealer of purchase.

Cautions concerning the disposal of filters

Please dispose of replaced filters according to the local disposal laws and regulations. HEPA filter materials:

• Filter: Polypropylene

• Frame: Polyester

Stamina-power carbon materials:

• Deodorizer: Activated charcoal

• Frame: Polyester

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for repair, check the symptoms below for possible remedies, since the problem may not be a malfunction of the unit.

SYMPTOM REMEDY (not a malfunction)

The remote control does not work

Odors and smoke cannot be removed easily

The Clean sign lights green even when the air is dirty

The Clean sign lights orange or red even when the air is clean

The cluster ion lamp remains green (blue) and does not change

A sound is heard from the unit

The discharged air smells

The unit does not operate even when smoking cigarettes

Click, click

Tick, tick, tick

•Have the batteries depleted?

• Are the batteries inserted correctly?

• Is a fluorescent lighting in the room flickering due to service life? (Refer to E-3)

• Are the filters heavily soiled? (Refer to E-13)

• Is the opening of the dust sensor blocked or clogged?

•Was the air already dir ty when the power plug was inserted into the wall outlet? (Refer to E-4)

• The sensitivity of the sensor becomes unstable when the opening of the dust sensor is dirty or is clogged. Clean the dust around the sensor opening using a vacuum cleaner. (Refer to E-12)

• During the Clean mode (or Refresh mode), the cluster ion lamp colour will not change.

• This is the sound that is emitted when the unit is in t h e Refresh mode. If the sound is irritating, switch the unit to the Clean mode.

• This is the sound that is emitted when the unit is generating cluster ions. If the sound is irritating, such as when sleeping, etc., set the Cluster ion mode to OFF.

• The ozone generated by the cluster ion generator may have an odor. However , the density of oz one generated is very little and is harmless to the human body. Furthermore, the ozone

decomposes quickly so it does not accumulate in the room.

• Is the unit installed in a location that is difficult for the sensors to detect cigarette smoke?

• Are the odour and dust or dust sensor openings blocked or clogged? (In this case, clean the openings.)
