Full-power operation is carried out
by setting the air volume to "MAX" for
60 minutes to purify air rapidly.
The Plasmacluster technology has an effect that
suppresses the activity of airborne viruses and
decomposes and removes allergens such as feces /
carcass of mite. This technology does not create
completely sterile environment or guarantee the
prevention of microbial infection.
The actual number of ions and effect of air purification
vary depending on the environment of the room (such as
the area, shape, whether an air conditioner is used or
ventilation is performed, and where the product is located)
and the usage (such as the blowout direction of ions and

• When removing the Water Tank, be careful not to get your fingers caught inside the unit.
• Do not operate the unit without the filters, the Water Tank, and the Humidifying Tray properly installed.
• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA filter and the Active Carbon Deodorizing Filter.
It will not improve filter performance and may cause electric shock or malfunction.
•Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
Do not use volatile fluids or detergents.
Doing so may damage or crack the exterior of the unit and cause sensor malfunctions.
• The frequency of descaling maintenance will depend on the hardness of and the impurities in the
water used; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.
•Keep the unit away from water.
ENGLISH
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• When using the unit, place it at least 2-meters away from equipment that emits electric waves, such as
televisions or radios, to avoid electrical interference.
•Avoid locations where the sensors are exposed to direct wind.
Doing so may cause malfunctions.
• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the unit and
interfere with the intake and air outlet.
• Avoid locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic changes in temperature.
Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.
•Place the unit on a level and stable surface with sufficient air circulation.
When placed on heavy carpet, the unit may vibrate slightly.
Place the unit on a level surface to avoid water leakage from the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray.
•Avoid locations that generate grease or oily smoke.
Doing so may cause the unit exterior to crack and the sensors to malfunction.
•To ensure proper airflow, place the unit about 30 cm (1 ft) away from the wall.
The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an extended period
of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls adjacent to it. You can also prevent walls from
becoming dirty by covering them with a vinyl sheet or other protective covering.
• To move the unit with casters, check that the casters (on right and left sides) are unlocked and move it

Frequently Asked Questions
I do not see steam. Is it really humidifying? Doesn't
the product humidify the room too much?
When the Humidifying Filter is moisturized, humid air will be discharged from air
outlet. Humidification is achieved without water-boiling, so steam or vapour cannot
be seen. It will not humidify the room excessively.
Why does the humidity level not increase during
humidifying operation?
Humidity may not rise to the optimal level when there is no water in the tank or the
humidifying filter is clogged with hard water scale or dust. Clean the humidifying
filter, the tray and the water tank.
Also, humidity may not rise to the optimal level depending on the size or condition
of a room where the product is used.
In that case, set the fan speed to “MAX” or “MED”.
page
E-16,17,20
It seems that the unit is blowing out cold air.
As the water draws heat from room when it is evaporated, the temperature of wind
becomes lower than room temperature. You may feel cold depending on the size
of the room.
(When the room temperature is 20°C and the humidity is 30%, the temperature of wind blowing out
from the air outlet is approximately 15°C)
The unit is designed to blow air toward a diagonally rear direction and a front direction
at the same time to efficiently deliver the high-density Plasmacluster Ion throughout a
room. You may feel cold depending on the location where the unit is placed.
(If you feel cold, change the location of the unit)
Do I have to use tap water?
The tap water is chlorinated and germs hardly develop.
If you use any water other than tap water (well water, water of water cleaner,
bottled mineral water etc.), mold or germs develop frequently, producing plenty of
scale and odors.
Carry out the maintenance frequently is required.
ENGLISH
The air blowing out is smelly.
Odor could come out from the air outlet through filters or other sections after the
unit in use is exposed to strong odor such as cigarette or BBQ smoke or if
saprophytic bacteria have propagated in residual water in the Humidifying Tray or
Water Tank.
Clean the HEPA Filter, Active Carbon & Silica Gel Deodorizing Filter, Humidifying
Filter, Humidifying Tray and Water Tank.

ENGLISH
• It is not possible to remove all of harmful gas components and odor components that are
Caution
constantly generated.
For Effective Use
• The air purifier is designed to collect dust or odor components in a room. If it operates in the environment
with strong odors like air freshener, aroma oil, cigarettes and BBQ, the odors will adhere to filters which
might generate bad odor in weeks to months.
In this case, clean the “HEPA Filter”, “Active Carbon & Silica Gel Deodorizing Filter and “Humidifying
Filter”.
If odors still persist after cleaning, it is recommended to replace the filters.
• In the environment with strong odors, it is recommended to ventilate the room regularly.
• The unit takes longer to remove odor than dust.
• Do not use fluorocarbon polymer or silicone-containing products* near the main unit.
The fluorocarbon polymer or silicone could get stuck inside the unit, preventing it from discharging
antistatic agents, waterproof sprays, polishes agent, glass cleaners, chemical clothes, wax, etc.

Symptom
Water is not reduced from
the Water Tank
Water is reduced slowly
Humidification
Humidity does not rise.
Remedy
•
The humidification amount varies by the humidity and temperature of a room.
In the more humid (e.g. rainy day) or cold environment:
… The humidification amount decreases and water in the Water Tank is
reduced slowly.
In the less humid (e.g. dry day) or warmer environment:
… The humidification amount increases and water in the Water Tank is
reduced quickly.
• Is the unit operating in the Plasmacluster Ion Shower mode or at the
fan speed set to “AUTO” or “POLLEN” in the clean air & humidify
mode?
The unit in these modes controls humidity level and stops humidifying
when it reaches the optimal humidity.
• Have the Water Tank, Humidifying Tray and Humidifying Filter been
firmly mounted?
• Does water scale or dirt adhere to the Humidifying Filter / Tray?
Clean the Filter.
• Is water contained in the Water Tank?
• The room in which the unit is used might be too large.
Use the unit in the room not larger than the Recommended area.
Isn't the main unit installed at a place where is exposed to wind of
heating appliance?
The temperature sensor / humidity sensor may be malfunctioning.
Change the installation location.
• Does water scale or dirt adhere to the Humidifying Filter / Tray?
