Features
Streamer Technology
This technology employs a “streamer discharge”, a
type of plasma discharge comprising high-speed
electrons with powerful oxidative capacity, that is
generated inside the air purifier. The discharge
swiftly removes odours. (The high-speed
electrons are generated and then adsorbed within
the unit to ensure your safety.)
Streamer operation is conditional on the degree of air impurity.
During operation, the streamer discharge may generate a hissing sound, however, this does not indicate a defect.
In addition, the sound may lessen or change in tone depending on the operating environment, however, such changes are normal.
In some cases the air outlet may emit a slight odour as trace amounts of ozone are generated. However, the amount is
negligible and is not harmful to your health.
Powerful and swift suction action driven by large airflow
Suction of house dust and odours with large airflow.
3 filter layer structure ensures thorough and rapid purification of the ambient air.
Streamer discharge decomposes adsorbed odour.
Elimination of 99% of 0.1-2.5μm particles (*1).
Controlling PM2.5
These results were obtained in a 32m³ airtight space. They are not demonstrable effects in customer environments.
• Does not take into account inflow of new particles from outdoors owing to ventilation etc.
• PM2.5 is a generic term for particulate matter that is 2.5μm or less in size.
• Elimination of particulate matter that is less than 0.1μm in size by this air purifier has not been verified.
This product cannot eliminate all airborne toxic substances.

1About the streamer lamp
• This lamp lights up when the streamer is operating. The streamer operates depending on the degree of air impurity.
2About the dust sensor lamp / PM2.5 INDICATOR lamp
• After operation is started, the lamp will light green for the  rst minute
(approx.) regardless of air impurity level.
• The responsiveness of the dust/PM2.5 sensor may be poor during FAN setting
“Turbo” or when air ow is high in AUTO FAN MODE. The strong air ow causes dust
to be drawn into the air inlets before it can be detected by the dust/PM2.5 sensor.
This is normal (not a malfunction).
• If the responsiveness of the dust/PM2.5 sensor is poor, change the sensitivity
setting of the sensor.
►
Page 12
Dust/PM2.5 sensor detection range
Detectable matter
house dust, tobacco smoke, pollen, mites, pet hairs,
diesel particulate matter
Sometimes detectable
steam, oil smoke
3About the odour sensor lamp
• If operation is started immediately after the power supply plug is inserted, the
lamp will light green for the  rst minute (approx.).
• If odour intensity levels are unchanging, the sensor may not respond even if there
is a strong odour in the air.
• The sensor may not respond to some odours such as pet odours (excluding
ammonia), garlic odour, etc.
• As odour perception varies by person, in some cases an odour may be sensed
even when the lamp is green.
If the odour bothers you, switch to manual air ow rate, and select a high air ow
rate.
►
Page 9
The ambient odour level in the  rst minute after the unit is plugged in serves as
the reference level upon which the sensitivity of the odour sensor is determined.
Insert the power supply plug when the air is clean (odour-free).
Odour sensor detection range
Detectable matter
tobacco odours, cooking odours, pet odours, toilet
smells, waste smells, mould odours, sprays, alcohol
Sometimes detectable
sudden changes in temperature/humidity, steam, oil
smoke, gas emitted from combustion-based heating
devices

About every 10 years Replace
Do not use water Do not vacuum clean
• Do not use a vacuum cleaner or use water
when cleaning.
(If the lter is damaged or holes are opened
etc., dust will pass through the lter and
capacity for dust collection will be reduced.)
About part replacement timing
• Replacement timing depends on usage patterns
and the location of the unit.
If the unit is used daily in a home where 5 cigarettes
are smoked a day, the lter should be replaced
about every 10 years. (Calculation based on testing
method of Japan Electrical Manufacturers
Association JEM1467 standard.)
If the impurity content of the ambient air is high, the
lter will need more frequent replacement.
If the lter is failing to perform, it is time to replace it.

FAQs
Please check the following before contacting us.
Troubleshooting
Q: The dust/PM2.5 sensor seems to have poor sensitivity...
A: Perform periodic cleaning of the dust/PM2.5 sensor as dirt on its lens can lead to
poor sensitivity.
►
Page 13
In addition, the response time of the dust/PM2.5 sensor varies depending on room
size. Make adjustments in accordance with the procedure for setting dust/PM2.5
sensor sensitivity.
►
Page 12
The responsiveness of the dust/PM2.5 sensor may be poor during FAN setting
“Turbo” or when airow is high in AUTO FAN MODE.
The strong airow causes dust to be drawn into the air inlet before it can be
detected by the dust/PM2.5 sensor. This is normal (not a malfunction). Dust/PM2.5 sensor
Q: Can the dust collection lter be cleaned?
A: No. Do not attempt to clean it with a vacuum cleaner or water.
(Reduced performance of the dust collection lter may result)
