• Tobacco smoke (particles)
• Ammonia odor
• Acetaldehyde
• Acetic acid type odor
NOTE
• The air purier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the odors.
The air purier is not designed to remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide
contained in cigarette smoke.
The air purier may not completely remove an odor if the source of the odor is still
present.
• Some odors absorbed by the lters will break down over time, causing additional
odors. Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the unit is used in
environments signicantly more severe than a normal household, these odors may
become noticeable sooner than expected. Replace the lter in those cases or if dust
is unable to be removed after maintenance.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, re or injury :
Caution
To reduce the risk of electric shock, re or injury :
• Do not attach or wire in a place that may interfere with the operation of the
car's air bags,(as doing so can cause a traffic accident or injury.)Air bag
activation can cause the unit and other objects to fly about the cabin.
• Do not touch the metal parts of the car adapter’s car adapter (or of the
accessory socket).(The metal parts of the car adapter could be hot directly
after the car is stopped, and could cause burns if touched.)
• Make sure that accessory attachment belt is not loose and secured tightly
in place.(A loose belt can become detached or fall off during operation and
cause injury or accident. )
• Do not operate the air purier without the lter attached.
(Without the lter, the air purier will not lter air and may also malfunction.)
• Move the unit out of the car when using room fumigating type insecticides
or deodorizers. If not, the chemicals could get inside the unit and later be
ejected from the air outlet, possibly harming your health.
• If the unit risks falling out (when driving on rough roads,over bumps, etc.),
either slow down or remove the unit beforehand. (Failure to do so could
cause injury or damage to the unit.)
• When attaching the unit, only use the accessory attachment belt,(as failing
to do so can cause accident or injury.)Before operating the unit, make
sure that the unit is properly secure and that the attachment belt is not
loose,(otherwise the unit may come loose or fall off and cause a trafc
accident or injury.)
• Do not use items of silicone-based products* near the unit.
The uororesin or silicone could get stuck inside the unit, preventing it from
producing Plasmacluster ions.
If this happens, remove the dust from the electrode section of the
Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit.
* Hair care products (split end coatings, hair mousses, hair treatments, etc.),
cosmetics, antiperspirants, antistatic agents, waterproong sprays, polishes,
glass cleaners, chemicalimpregnated clothes, wax, etc.
The inside of the unit has insulation with fluoresin, silicon, and similar
materials that can cause the air purier to not emit Plasmacluster ions.
