The unit controls the ratio of negative cluster ions and positive cluster ions
depending on the condition of the room.
• Clean mode
Approximately the same amount of
positive and negative cluster ions are
discharged. This mode is effective for
removing mold fungus in the air.
• Refresh mode
In this mode, the ratio of negative cluster
ions is increased. Negative ions are ions
that can be found most in the natural environment such as near waterfalls, etc.,
and have a characteristic of gently
refreshing the body.
HEPA Filter
• High-efficiency particulate air filter
Stamina-power carbon
• Powerful deodorization by large particles
of columnar charcoal.

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 be noticed from
the exhaust port in several months.
In this case, purchase the optional
filter FZ-40SEF and replace the filters.

injury.
CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION
DO NOT USE THE REMOTE CONTROL IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS
• Location where there are inverter lighting equipment or electronic light sensor device
The remote control may not operate properly. In this case, move the unit away from such lighting
facility or change the facing direction.
• Location exposed to direct sunlight
The unit may not be able to receive signals from the remote control
The unit may not be able to respond to the signals of the remote control if the ends of fluorescent
lighting become black or lights flicker due the depletion of service life; however, this is not a malfunction
of the remote control or the main unit. In this case, replace the lighting with new fluorescent tubes.
TAKE CAUTION TO THE FOLLOWING DURING INSTALLATION
• Keep a distance of at least 2m away from televisions and radios
It can interrupt the receiving signal.
• Keep a distance of at least 60cm away from the wall
The motor may overheat, causing malfunction as a result.
• Avoid to install at locations where the sensor is exposed to direct blowing air.
The unit may not operate properly.
• Avoid to install at locations where the intake or exhaust port will be blocked by curtains, etc.
Curtains, etc., may become dirty or malfunction may occur as a result.
ENGLISH
EFFECTIVE USAGE
• Stable surface with good ventilation
• Near smoking area
Air pollution is detected quickly.
• Tiny dust and odors such as tobacco smoke rise and accumulated in the upper level of the room.
• Large dust such as pollen and house dust accumulated at the lower level of the room.
• The wall, behind the exhaust port may become dirty as time passes. When using the unit for extensive
period in the same location, put some device like plastic sheet on the wall for easy cleanig at the
same time, clean the wall occasionally.

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 injury may occur as a result.
MAIN UNIT
Clean off the dirt on the main unit and the
installing surface as frequent as possible.
Stubborn dirt may be difficult to remove.
Wipe dry 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 chemicals
Benzene, paint thinner, polishing powder , etc.,
may damage the unit surface.
Do not use detergents
Detergents may damage the unit surface.
Do not splash water
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 using the nozzle
of a vacuum cleaner directly. This will
greatly decrease the performance of the
filters.

REPLACING THE FILTERS
The filter replacement period is indicated by the filter replacement lamp.
(The lamp will light up in about 5 years, when using the unit for 12 hours daily.)
• The operation hours are saved in memory even when removing the power plug for transportation to another room, etc.
The filter replacement lamp is to be used only as a guide.
If dust or odors cannot be removed easily, replace the filters.
Guide for replacing the filters
• HEPA filterAbout 5 years after opening
• Stamina-power carbonAbout 5 years after opening
The replacement period is subject to smoking 10 cigarettes per day and the dust collection/
deodorization ability is reduced by half than that of new filters.
The replacement period differs depending on the operation hours and location of installation.
(According to Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association JEM1467)
Depending on the usage environment, odor may be noticed from the exhaust port in several
months.
(For understanding the product. Refer E-1)

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for repair, check the symptoms below for possible remedies, since the problem may
not be a malfunction of the unit.
SYMPTOMREMEDY (not a malfunction)
The remote control does not
function
• Have the batteries depleted?
• Are the batteries inserted with correct polarity?
• Is a fluorescent lighting in the room flickering?
Odors and smoke cannot be
removed easily
The Clean sign lights up in
green even when the air is
dirty
The Clean sign lights up in
orange or red even when the
air is clean
The cluster ion lamp remains
green (blue) and does not
change
A sound is
Click, click
heard from
the unit
Tick, tick, tick
The discharged air smells
The unit does not operate
even when smoking cigarettes
• Are the filters covered with heavy dust?
• Is the opening of the dust sensor blocked or clogged?
• Was the air already dirty when the power plug was inserted
into the wall outlet? (Refer E-5)
• 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 E-12)
• During the Clean mode (or Refresh mode), the cluster ion
lamp color will not change.
• This is the sound that is emitted when the unit is in
the Refresh mode.
If the sound is annoying, 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 annoying, 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 amount of ozone 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?
• If the odor or dust sensor openings blocked or clogged?
(In this case, clean the openings.) (Refer E-12)

About the reduction of standby power consumption.
In order to operate the electrical circuits while the power plug is inserted in the wall outlet, this product
consumes about 0.8W of standby power.
(Under this condition, the power lamp will be on) For the conservation of energy , remove the power plug
when not using the unit
