If you continue operations during a malfunction, it may lead
to breakdown, electric shock, fuming, or fire.
<Examples of Malfunction or Breakdown>
◦
After the filter is replaced, the unit does not start even after
pressing the power button.
◦Electric current is sporadic when moving the cord.
◦It vibrates or makes an unusual sound during operations.
◦The unit, power plug, or cord is abnormally hot.

shock or fire.
◦
Do not use damaged power cords or power plugs, or wall
outlets that are loose and do not hold the plug.
Regularly wipe dust from the power plug with a dry
cloth.
If dust builds up, it can lead to insulation failure from
humidity, etc. and may cause fire.
◦
When not in use for a long period of time, remove the power
plug from the outlet.
During cleaning, inspection, and moving, make sure to
stop operation and unplug the power plug.
Leaving the power plug in the outlet may cause electric
shock or injury.
Do not sit or stand on the unit.

malfunction.
Do not put the unit in unstable locations.
If the unit falls over, it may cause an electric shock and lead
to injury or damage.
Do not block the air inlet or air outlet with obejects such
as laundry, cloth, curtains, etc.
Poor air circulation may lead to overheating or fire.
After maintenance, wipe off the water thoroughly and
dry the unit. Do not use it when wet.
It may lead to electric shock or injury.
Do not use chlorinated or acid detergents for cleaning.
The detergent may produce toxic gas that is harmful to your
health.
Do not wipe the unit with benzine or thinner or spray
with insecticide.
It may lead to cracks, electric shock, or fire.
Do not operate the unit when fumigating for pests.
It may cause accumulated pharmaceutical ingredients
to emit when using the unit later, which is harmful to your
health.
Prohibited
Periodically open windows to ventilate the room when
using the unit with a combustion appliance at the same
time.
This unit does not have a function to eliminate carbon
monoxide.
If air ventilation is insufficient, it may lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Required

Caution

3
Operating Precautions
Do not block the air inlet or air outlet.
It may reduce the cleaning capability of the unit causing
clean air not to circulate throughout the entire room. This may
cause a malfunction.
Do not operate the unit without installing the filter.
There is no cleaning effect and doing so may cause a
malfunction.
Do not use the unit in place of a ventilating fan in the
kitchen.
This may remarkably lower the lifespan of the filter or lead to
the unit becoming deformed.
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight or directly in the
path of the air conditioner or heater’s airflow.
It may cause deformation, discoloration, or malfunction of the
unit.
Do not use the unit near a TV or radio.
It may cause distortion of video images or noise.
(Place the unit at least 1m away from a TV or radio. Also,
using the same wall outlet as these devices may cause
distortion of video image or noise. If this occurs, plug it into a
different outlet.)
Do not place the unit in the same location for a long
period of time.
Using the unit in the same location for a long period of
time may make the wall or floor around the unit dirty. It is
recommended to move the location of the unit regularly.
Installing the Unit
Place the unit on a flat surface. Also, for good air circulation, make sure the unit is located at least 30 cm away from walls, furniture,
curtains, etc. on both sides, the front, back, and above.

Parts and Functions
About air cleaning function
This unit is not designed to eliminate all pollutants in the air. (For example, it does not eliminate carbon monoxide from cigarette
smoke.)
Also, this product does not have the ventilating function. When using in a closed room, open a window to air out the room occasionally.

Photocatalytic Lamp
The blue activated carbon in the deodorizing/dust collecting/
anti-bacterial filter does not use the conventional ultraviolet ray
reaction type, but instead uses a new type of photocatalytic
technology that reacts with visible light.
The lamp in the product uses a long life blue LED, and does
not have any effects on eyes or the human body in the way
ultraviolet rays do, but since the light is strong, when performing
maintenance such as removing the filter to replace it, unplug the
power plug and avoid looking directly into the light.
(The photocatalytic lamp will turn off if the cover is removed.)
Odor and Dust Monitor
The odor and dust sensors detect pollutants in the air and
indicates the air environment in the room with the colors blue,
yellow, and red.

Odor and dust sensors
Detected objects
Odor sensor
The odor sensor is placed on the
backside of the unit.
Detects cigarette, pet, and cos-
metic odors.
Dust sensor
The dust sensor is placed on the
backside of the unit.
Detects house dust (dust, pol-
len, etc.) and cigarette smoke.
Note
◦The odor and dust sensors may react to changes in temperature and
humidity.
◦The odor sensor may not react depending on the odor components.
◦For the first five minutes after turning the power on, the sensors are
initializing and the unit cannot indicate the exact air condition.
Illumination Intensity Sensor
