* The number in this technology mark indicates an

approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm
which is measured around the center of a room with
the “high-density plasmacluser 7000” applicable floor
area (at 1.2 m height above the floor) at the medium
wind volume in humidifying & air purifying mode, or in
air purifying mode, when a humidifi er/air purifi er or an
air purifier using the high-density plasmacluster ion
evolving device is placed close to a wall. This product is
equipped with a device corresponding to this capacity.

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-
Filter, 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.
