EFFECT OF CLUSTER IONS
How bacteria-removing ions eradicate floating mold fungus.
Testing organization:
Ishikawa Prefecture Preventive Medicine Organization
Bacteria-removing ions (large volume of plus and minus ions) gather around the surfaces of floating
mold fungus.
Bacteria-removing ions, consisting of plus ions (hydrogen ions: H+) and minus ions (oxygen ions: O2),
react on the surfaces of the floating mold fungus and change to a very powerful active substance of
hydroxyl radical OH.
Hydroxyl radical OH removes hydrogen atoms from the cell walls of floating mold fungus and destroys
the cell walls.
Mold fungus with broken cell walls is self-destroyed!

HOW THE HYBRID HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Hybrid humidifier uses a combination of
evaporation method, which humidifies the
air by applying air to the humidification filter, and the heat method, which assists
evaporation by warming the air using a
heater.
When starting operation, warm air is applied
to the humidification filter for humidification.
The heater is turned off when the air
reaches the set filter and uses the air in the
room to maintain set humidity while conserving power.
What is a hybrid humidifier?
Humidification using heat/evaporation method
Evaporation-type humidification
Method of applying air when drying clothes quickly .
Heat-type humidification
Method of applying warm air when drying clothes more quickly.
More moisture is released as vapor than with cool air.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
To correctly detect the temperature/humidity.
• Place the unit free from direct sunlight and warm air from air conditioners and heaters.
• Place the unit where the intake air temperature is between 0 ~ 35°C.
To reduce indoor humidity differences.
•Temperature and humidity will differ between areas near the floor and ceiling. It circulates through
indoor air.
Correct placement.
• Always place the unit on a stable, level surface.
• Maintain sufficient spacing as shown in the illustration to prevent malfunctions, deterioration,
and damage as well as deformation and staining of walls and furniture from humidification.
About the current humidity display.
(Use the humidity display only as a guide.)
Current humidity display displays the humidity
measured with built-in temperature/humidity sensors.
• The temperature will differ depending on the lo-
cation in the room. Select an appropriate location for the placement of the unit.
• Immediately after the start of operation, the sen-
sors will be influenced by the internal temperature and humidity and requires about 5 minutes
for the current humidity display to stabilize.
Steam and mist are not visible.
• Since the unit uses the humidification method of
applying air to the humidification filter and discharging humidified air (heat/evaporation ), steam
will not be visible as with steam fan type and ultrasonic type humidifiers.
Discharged air is not warm.
• Since the heat is taken when vaporizing water using the humidification filter even during heat/
evaporation operation, the discharged air will not be warm. Depending on the wideness of the
room, the air may even feel cold.
The amount of humidification
will vary depending on the temperature and humidity.
• Since water is difficult to vaporize
under conditions such as high humidity when there is rain or when
the temperature is low, the amount
of humidified air will be less.
(The tank water will decrease more
slowly.)

Take caution to freezing water.
If there is a risk of
water becoming frozen, empty the water within the tank
and tray. Using frozen water may
cause malfunction
to occur as a result.
Clean periodically.
Adhering of large
amounts of water
scaling may cause
malfunction to occur as a result.
Do not use other than tap water.
(Conventional tap water is sterilized with
chlorine to suppress propagation of bacteria.)
•Using hot water of 40°C or higher, chemical agents, aromatic substances, dirty water, etc. may cause deformation and/or malfunction to occur as a result.
• Using mineral water, ionized alkaline water, well water, purified water, etc., may
cause increased water scaling, creating an
environment for mold fungus and bacteria
to easily propagate.
Do not use the unit with the humidification filter removed.
Malfunction may occur as a result.
Empty water when not in use.
When not in use, empty the water within the
tank and tray. Leaving water within the tank

• After cleaning, wipe off any excess moisture on each part including the tray and humidification filter set and
allow to dry sufficiently in the shade.
• Be sure the humidification filter is sufficiently dried. Storing the filter with moisture remaining will cause
molding and foul odors.
• Place the unit in the box of purchase along with the instruction manual or place the unit into a plastic bag
and store in a location with low humidity.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Not all problems are caused by malfunctions. Before calling for repair, check to see if the symptom can be
cured by following the remedies shown below.
Symptom
Check location and remedy
No steam is discharged
This product uses a method of vaporizing water contained in the
humidification filter and thus no steam can be seen.
The unit does not operate
(Tank water does not decrease)
Properly insert the power plug.(Page10)
Is the power plug properly inserted into the wall outlet?
Since the humidity is controlled by the unit other than during continuous
operation mode and silent mode, humidification will stop when the
set humidity is reached.(page13)
The unit will stop when the room humidity reaches 80% or higher
even during continuous operation mode or silent mode.(page13)
Continuous operation
display lamp flashes
(Tip-over safety mechanism
tripped)
Has unit been exposed to vibration or has the unit been tilted?
Place the unit on a stable, level surface and press the Power
ON/OFF button again.
Continuous and Auto
humidification operation
display lamps flash
(Temperature abnormality
detection mechanism
tripped)
Is the temperature where the unit is placed less than 0 C?
Use the unit in at a room temperature higher than 0 C to avoid
water within the unit from freezing.(Page5)
Water Supply lamp
flashes even when there
is water in the tank
Is the float caught?
The humidity
does not rise
Is the room larger than the applicable floor area?
Is the room being ventilated or is the floor carpeted?
Humidity may not rise effectively when ventilating, when the walls
and floor are dry and when the floor is carpeted. Check to see if
there are any changes when using for 1 ~ 2 weeks.(Page6)
Operation does not stop even
after the humidity rises
Use the unit in a location free of direct sunlight and warm air
from heaters.(Page6)
Is the unit exposed to direct sunlight or warm air from a heater?
Use the unit in a mode other than continuous and silent.(Page13)
Is the unit operating in continuous or silent mode?
Clean the tray and tank.(page16,17)
Is the tray dirty or is the water old?
Clean the humidification filter set.(page16)
Is there adhering of water scaling or debris on the humidification filter set?
Remove any debris surrounding the float.(page16)
Is the tray securely inserted into the unit?
Securely insert the tray into the unit.(page12,16)
Volume of air discharged has
decreased
Is there an accumulation of dust in the air filter (intake port)?
Clean the air filter.(page17)
Is there adhering of water scaling or debris on the humidification filter set?
Clean the humidification filter set.(page16)
There is foul odor
(Page5)

Symptom
Check location and remedy
The current humidity is
always high
The current humidity is higher
than the set humidity
Reading on the current humidity
display and that of a hygrometer
are different.
Noise is heard
Bubbling sound
Buzzing sound
Air is discharged from the discharge
port after stopping operation
Rooms facing north and rooms near bathrooms accumulate
steam very easily and thus the humidity may become high.
If symptom persists even when moving the unit to another
room, contact your dealer of purchase.
Is the unit being used in a highly-dense or small room?
Circulate the air within the room.(Page5)
There are differences in the humidity depending on the areaof the
room.
Accuracy and response speed to changes in humidity are
different from the humidity sensor of the humidifier and
other humidity instrumentation.
(Use the humidity display only as a guide.)
This is the sound that is produced when water is being supplied
to the tray from the tank.
The discharge sound of cluster ions may increase or decrease
depending on the humidity of the room. The sound may not be
noticed at all at times, but the effect of the cluster ions is the same.
If the sound becomes irritating, place the unit further away.
After stopping operation, the fan will rotate for about 1 minute
to prevent the internal temperature from rising.

If the fan stops to operate for some reason or when the
humidification filter or air filter is continuously used without
cleaning, high temperature error is detected and operation is stopped.
When the temperature of the intake port becomes
approximately 0 C, operation is stopped for safety.
If the unit is tilted or tips over or if there is vibration, operation is stopped.
