Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-
Filter, a intergrated HEPA and deodorization filter inside of the unit, the dischanges the
air through the air outlet. The intergrated HEPA and deodorization filter can remove
99.97% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the filter and
gradually absorbs odors as they pass through the filter.
Some odors absorbed by the filters may break down over time, resulting in additional
odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in ex-
treme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this odor
may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odor persists, the filter
should be replaced.
NOTE
• The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odor, but not harmful gases (for
example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odor still exists, the
air purifier may not completely remove the odor.
