Tips
■Silent mode
Minimizes air speed during purication and humidication/
purication to create a quiet, comfortable environment. This
operating mode is quiet and consumes less power.
■Sleep mode
Maintains the nearby humidity level for eight hours to create a
comfortable environment.The mood lighting at the bottom of
the purier slowly dims over 20 minutes after it is turned on to
help you drift o to sleep.
Only the air purication feature works when there is no water in
the water tank.
■Turbo mode
Maximizes air speed during purication and humidication/
purier to rapidly create a comfortable environment.
■Auto mode
Operates eectively by automatically adjusting the purier's
air speed (level 1 -> level 2 -> level 3) depending on the indoor
contamination level detected by the sensor.
This is a convenient operating mode for most users.

How to Use HOW TO USE
■To use humidication/purication
If water is put into the water tank during air purication and
the water tank is put in the purier, it automatically converts to
humidication/purication.
∗The sensor automatically recognizes when water is put in the
water tank and switches to humidication/purication.
When the sensor detects that there is no water, the purier
automatically converts to air purication without humidication.
■To use mood lighting
Press the mood light button to turn the mood light and other
indicators on or o.
Each time the mood light button is pressed, indicators are
turned on and o in the order of : Mode indicator ON →All
indicators OFF →Lower mood light ON →All indicators ON.
