Please read before operating your new Air Purier

The air purier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-

Filter, a Washable Deodorizing Filter and a True HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharges the air through the air outlet. The True HEPA Filter 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 Filter 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 extreme environments (signicantly 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

• If the source of the odor remains in the room the air purier may not be able to completely remove

the odor.

Remove the Humidifying Filter

from the Humidifying Tray.

Avoid spilling water from the Humidifying Tray.

Preparing the descaling solution.

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.

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

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 Hu-

midifying Filter and stir well.

Pre-soak the Humidifying Filter in the solution for 30 minutes

before cleaning.

When using lemon juice,

it is recommended to presoak longer than citric acid.

Rinse the Humidifying Filter

repeatedly with lukewarm water to remove all the solution residue.

Inadequate rinsing may cause odor and

affect the performance and/or appearance of the unit.

* Do not scrub the Humid-

ifying Filter, rinse gently

under lukewarm water

only.

Attach the Humidifying Filter to the Humidifying Tray, and

replace the Humidifying Tray in the unit.

•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.

•When not using the unit for a long period of time, dry the Humidifying Filter completely before replacing.

Plug in the unit, turn power ON, and press the Filter Reset But-

ton on the display more than 3 seconds to reset.

You may notice reddish-brown or white

deposits forming on the surface of the Humidifying Filter. These impurities (calcium,

etc.) are due to the impurities contained in tap water; this is not a defect. Replace the Humidifying Filter when it is covered completely in white deposits.
