Please read before operating your new Air Purifi er

The air purifi er draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-Fil-
ter, a Washable Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharg­es the air through the air outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles
as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the fi lter and also helps absorb odours. The
Washable Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odours as they pass through the fi lter.

Some odours absorbed by the fi lters may break down over time, resulting in additional
odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in
extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this
odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, the

fi lters should be replaced.

NOTE

• The air purifi er is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases (for
example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odour still exists, the
air purifi er may not completely remove the odour.

Citric acid, available at some drugstores,
or 100 % bottled lemon juice are used for
descaling. Choose either one to use, and
prepare the descaling solution.

<For using citric acid>

Dissolve 3 teaspoons of citric acid and 2
1/2 cups of lukewarm water in a suitable
container, and stir well.

<For using lemon juice>

100 % bottled lemon juice can be used
for descaling. Use only 100 % bottled
lemon juice with no pulp (strain juice if
necessary). Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice
and 3 cups of lukewarm water in a con­tainer large enough to hold the Humidify­ing Filter and stir well.
