This product earned the ENERGY STAR by meeting
strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA.
US EPA does not endorse any manufacturer claims of
healthier indoor air from the use of this product.
The energy efficiency of this ENERGY STAR qualified
model is measured based on a ratio between the model’
s CADR for Dust and the electrical energy it consumes,
or CADR/Watt.
Ce produit a le droit de porter la marque ENERGY
STAR après avoir répondu à des critères stricts en ce
qui concerne l’efcacité énergétique, tels qu’établis par
l’agence EPA aux É-U. L’agence EPA aux É-U n’appuie
aucunement les témoignages publicitaires du fabricant
indiquant que ce produit rend l’air intérieur des locaux
plus sain.
L’efcacité énergétique de ce modèle, qui bénécie de
la reconnaissance ENERGY STAR, est mesurée par le
rapport entre le DAP (débit d’air purié) du modèle et l’
énergie électrique qu’il consomme, soit le rapport DAP/
Watt.
Please read before operating your new Air Purier
The air purier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a PreFilter, a Washable Deodorizing lter and a True HEPA lter inside of the unit, then discharges the air through the air outlet. The True HEPA lter can remove 99.97% of dust
particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the lter and also helps absorb
odors. The Washable Deodorizing lter gradually absorbs odors as they pass through
the lter.
Some odors absorbed by the lters may break down over time, resulting in additional
odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in ex-
treme environments (signicantly more severe than normal household use), this odor
may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odor persists, the lters
should be replaced.
NOTE
• The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odor, but not harmful gases (for
example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odor still exists, the
air purier may not completely remove the odor.

in bodily injury.
• Do not operate the unit without the lters, Water Tank, and Humidifying Tray properly in-
stalled.
• Do not wash and reuse the True HEPA lter.
Washing will not improve lter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
Do not use volatile uids and/or detergents.
The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.
In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
• Frequency of maintenance required (descaling) will depend on the hardness or the impuri
ties of the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.
• Keep the unit away from water.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 6.5ft. (2m) away from
equipment utilizing electrical waves such as televisions, radios or wave clocks.
• Avoid a location where the sensor is exposed to direct breeze or draft.
The unit may not operate properly.
• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact with and
restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.
• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or rapid temperature
changes. (Use under appropriate conditions between 41 - 95˚F (5 - 35˚C) in the room.)
(If it is unavoidable please allow unit to stand for 1 hour before switching on.)
• Place on a stable surface with sufcient air circulation.
When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly.
Place the unit on an even surface to avoid water leakage from the Water Tank and/or Humidifying
Tray.
• Avoid use in locations where grease or oily smoke is generated.
The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction as a result.
• Place the unit about 1-2 ft. (30 - 60cm) away from the wall in order to ensure proper airow.
The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an
extended period of time in the same location, periodically clean the wall and protect the wall with a
vinyl sheet, etc. to prevent the wall from becoming dirty.

tion.
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 neces-
sary). Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice and
3 cups of lukewarm water in a container
large enough to hold the Humidifying lter
and stir well.
Pre-soak the Humidifying lter

• The Humidifying filter will not fit if
placed in backwards. Be sure there is
no gap between the Humidifying tray
and the unit when the Humidifying Tray
is replaced in the unit. The unit may not
operate properly if the Humidifying Tray
is not properly replaced in the unit.

tained in tap water; this is not a defect.
Replace the Humidifying lter when it is
covered completely in white deposits.

FILTER REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Filter life will vary depending on the room environment, usage, and location of the unit.
If dust or odors persist, replace the lters.
(Refer to “Please read before operating your new Air Purier”)
Guide for lter replacement timing
True HEPA lter
Filter life can be greatly reduced depending on the room environment. Cigarette smoke, pet dander, and other airborne particles can reduce lter life. Check lters regularly and replace as necessary.
Washable Deodorizing lter
The lter can be repeatedly used after washing, or it can be replaced.
Humidifying lter
Filter life can be greatly reduced depending on the room environment. Even if 2 years have not
passed, replace the Humidifying lter if you notice the following:
• Mineral deposits (white, black, or red masses) which are not removed after cleaning or the Humidifying lter is still dirty.
• Filter is severely damaged or warped.
