Do not place on unstable surface.
Do not tilt or place the unit on an unstable or high surface.
The unit may tip over, spilling the water inside.
Do not place on top of electric appliances.
Do not use on top of electric appliances such as heaters, televisions, etc.
The unit may top over, causing electric shock and/or short circuit as a result.
Do not drink the water inside the tray.
Water inside may cause sickness.
Always remove by holding the power plug.
Do not pull on the cord and always hold the plug when removing.
Electrical shock and/or short circuit may occur, causing fire as a result.
Replace the tank water daily with fresh tap water.
Keep the unit interior free of soiling by cleaning periodically.
Using the unit without periodical cleaning will result in the emission of foul odors caused by propagation of molds and bacteria from soiling and water scaling. Occasionally, your body may react sensitively to such odors depending on your constitution and may be hazardous to your health.
* In this case, consult a physician.
When moving the unit, hold the bottom of the unit securely using both hands
and keep level.
Water may spill, wetting the floor. Do not tilt or shake the unit.
When not using, remove the power plug and discharge water.
Empty the water within the tray and tank.
Electrical shock, short circuit and/or fire from deterioration of insulation may occur.

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.)

CAUTIONS CONCERNING USAGE
Be sure to follow the items described below to prevent damage, deterioration and trouble.
Do not block the intake and discharge
ports.
Blocking the intake port or
discharge port may cause
deformation and/or malfunction as a result.
Do not place the unit on thick carpets,
thick blankets, etc.
The internal temperature will rise and
may cause the sensors to malfunction
as a result.
Do not place in a location exposed to
direct wind or in a location where unit
is in contact with wall, furniture, curtains, ceiling, etc.
Staining and/or deformation may occur
as a result.
Place the unit at least 2m from televisions, radios, electromagnetic clocks,
etc.
Electrical interference or malfunction
of flow switch may
occur as a result.
At least 2m
of space
Do not use at the location with high
humidity (about 70% or more).
Malfunction may
occur as a result.
Do not place under direct sunlight or
near heating apparatus.
Deformation, discoloration and/or malfunctions
of temperature and humidity sensors and safety
mechanisms may occur
as a result. In addition,
the air within the tank
may expand, causing the
water to spill.
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
and tray will cause mold fungus and bacteria to easily propagate.
