1. Excellent Air Purication Performance
The HEPA lter treated with organic antibacterial materials, and
which has a powerful anti-bacterial/anti-mold eect, is used to
eliminate ne indoor particles and germs suspended in the air. The
unit’s lter system has been optimized to remove indoor pollutants
fast and eectively.
2. Custom Filter
A customized lter system has been adopted so that customers can
select one of 3 types of custom lters: anti-micro-organisms, ozone
or oil mist lters.
3. 4-step Auto Operating Dust and Odor Sensors
The dust and odor sensors check the indoor air quality in real time
enabling the automated control of the airow speed depending
on the air pollution level when auto mode is selected in order to
maximize purication while minimizing power consumption.
4. Various Operating Modes
The following convenient deodorization modes are provided, oering
improved deodorization performance: Auto mode which operates
automatically by detecting odor and dust pollution levels, A3 power
saving mode minimizes power consumption, and Swing mode
circulates air three-dimensionally.

Automatically controls the airow speed (Step 1, 2, 3 and 4) according to the air pollution level detected by the dust
and odor sensors in order to purify the air more eectively. This operating mode is appropriate for general users.
Increases the odor sensor sensitivity by 50%. Controls the airow speed according to a higher pollution level from
among the levels detected by the dust and the odor sensors to purify the air more eectively.
Decreases the airow speed to under Step 1 for a quiet, pleasant atmosphere.
When the pollution level remains at level 1 for 10 minutes, the product switches to A3 power saving mode. A3
power saving mode is cancelled if the pollution level rises to level 2 or higher. When A3 power saving mode
continues for 30 successive minutes, A3 power saving mode is temporarily cancelled and the airow speed is set to
Step 1 to circulate the surrounding air. When the product operates in A3 power saving mode, all indicators except
for the A3 mode indicator are turned o.
