ENGLISH ©

Before operating your new air puri¿er , please read the following
The air puri¿er draws in room air through the air intake, circulates it through a
Pre-Filter, a Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside the unit, and then discharges
it through the air outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles as
small as 0.3 microns that pass through the ¿lter and also helps absorb odors.
The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odors as they pass through the ¿lter.
Some odors absorbed by the ¿lters will break down over time, causing additional
odors. Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the product is used in
environments signi¿cantly more severe than a normal household, these odors may
become noticeable sooner than expected. If these odors persist replace the ¿lters.
NOTE
• The air puri¿er is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the odors they cause. 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.
