AIR PURIFICATION PROCESS
■Pre-lter
Removes relatively large dust and mold, hair, pet fur, etc.
The superne ber net decreases pressure damage to the lter and increases dust collection eciency.
■Fine Dust lter
The ne dust lter eectively captures not only large dusts but also ne dusts such as pollen, mold,
and pet dander.
∗When you assemble the ne dust lter, be sure that the blue side of the lter must be at the front.
■Deodorization lter
The granular activated carbon deodorization lter eectively removes odors including food smells and
musty house smells and harmful gases indoors.
■HEPA lter
The high-performance synthetic HEPA lter is excellent at removing cigarette smoke and ne dust.
