01 PREPARATION
Check before use
Installation status
Ensure that the following installation requirements have been satised.
▶The product should be installed on an even, level floor.
▶There should be no objects blocking the air intake and outlet.
▶The installation site should be dry and there should be no inflammable substances around it.
▶The product should be installed at least 5 cm (15 cm is recommended) from the wall.
▶Before using the product for the first time and when replacing the 2-in-1 filter, make sure to remove the plastic packaging
of the filter.
Power plug and power outlet
▶Be sure to use a dedicated 220 -240V electrical outlet. (When the power is applied, the product enters the standby state.)
▶Unplug the power plug if it will not be used for a long period of time.
General information about the product
Be sure to install the lters before using the product and replace the lters when they start emitting a strange odor.
▶This product is highly efficient for deodorizing household odors such as ammonia, as well as formaldehyde (the main
cause of sick building syndrome), VOCs etc. However, deodorization function of the air purifier is effective when air is
penetrates through the filter. Therefore when there’s excessive odor in your room, ventilate the room first and use the air
purifier afterwards to eliminate remaining odors for more effective deodorization.
▶If you operate the air purifier without the filters, you cannot expect any air purification effect.
▶If the filters are contaminated, the air purification performance will be degraded. If the filters are seriously dirty or emit a
bad odor or the airflow from the product decreases significantly, replace the filters.
Avoid operating the air purication system when cooking food that generates a strong odor such as sh.
▶Otherwise, the lifetime of the deodorization filter may be significantly decreased and the deodorization filter may become
contaminated by the odor.
▶When the 2-in-1 filter, is contaminated by surrounding odors and the odors can be smelt when the air purification filter
operates, please replace the filter as it has reached its end of life.
Please close the windows and doors when operating the product.
▶Otherwise, the air purification performance is degraded.
▶The main noxious gas that cannot be removed: Carbon monoxide (CO)
▶Concentration level of carbon dioxide may increase if you operate the product for a long time with windows closed.
Therefore, ventilate the room regularly between use. When filter is saturated with just a weak odor, ventilating the room
will help get rid of saturated odor.

ENGLISH-10
Check before use
Using the lters
▶Before you use the product for the rst time, remove the plastic packaging from the 2-in-1 lter.
▶If you operate the air purifier without the filters, you cannot expect any air purification effect.
▶If the filter clean/replacement indicator ( sec ) blinks, replace the 2-in-1 filter.
(The 2-in-1 filter removes fine, invisible particles, gas and odor particles from the air. Postponing the filter clean/
replacement on the basis of a visual evaluation is not a desirable plan. The filter clean/replacement cycle is the maximum
usage period of the filter.The actual clean/replacement cycle may vary depending on the operating environment.)
▶If a strange odor is coming from the product, the airflow from the product becomes weak or the recommended clean/
replacement cycle is reached, make sure to replace the 2-in-1 filter.
▶Cleaning the Pre filter frequently improves the performance of the air purifier and helps keep the indoor air clean.
▶For the installation order and how to install the filters, refer to the Inserting the filters section in the Cleaning and
Maintenance chapter.
▶Before replacing the filters, make sure to turn off the power.

• You can purchase a new filter from a nearby Samsung Electronics service center or electronics mall.
- Replacement interval of the Integrated filter is between minimum 6 months to maximum 1 year based
on 24 hours of operation per day. (You can use the filter longer if the daily operation hours are shorter.)
Replacement interval varies due to level of air pollution. If there’s heavy dust in the area it will result in
heavier accumulation in the filter which will shorten the interval. Filter replacement indicator will be
turned on and notified you when it’s time to replace the filter. However, if the filter is too dirty, or if it
smells, or if you feel the fan speed has gotten gradually weaker, you can replace it even though the filter
replacement indicator has not turned on.
• When you replace the 2-in-1 filter, remove the plastic packaging before installing the filter.
• The filter replacement frequency differs depending on the operating mode because the air flow rate is
subject to the operating mode.
• If you replace the filter even though the filter clean/replacement indicator did not blink, press and hold the
[ sec ] button for 3 seconds (until hearing a ringing sound) to reset the alarm.
NOTE
CAUTION
• Do not wet the 2-in-1 filter. Keep the filters away from moisture while the air purifier is in use.
• Do not use the air purifier in an area where cooking is done for a long period of time (especially while cooking)
as this will reduce the lifespan and replacement time of the filter. Open the windows to ventilate the room while
cooking. Once cooking is done, close the windows and use the air purifier to remove remaining odors.
• Replacement period of the filter may differ depending on the operating environment.
