Please read before operating your new Air Puri er
Some odour ingredients absorbed by the  lters may become separated and may be
discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odour. Depending on the
usage environment, especially when the product is used in a condition signi cantly
more severe than household use, this odour may become strong in a shorter period
than expected.
The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases
(for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the odour sources still exist, it
cannot completely remove the odour (for example, odours from construction materials and pet
odours).
It is suggested to open the window a bit when you are smoking in order to facilitate ventilation.
In this case we recommend purchasing the optional replacement  lter.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service, please review the Troubleshooting chart below, since the
problem may not be a unit malfunction.
PROBLEM SOLUTION (not a malfunction)
The unit leaves smoke and
odours in the air.
• Clean or replace the lters as needed. (Refer to E-9)
• Is the unit installed in a location that is difcult for the
sensor to detect cigarette smoke?
• Are the dust sensor openings blocked or clogged?
(In this case, clean the openings.) (Refer to E-8)
A clicking or ticking sound is
heard from the unit.
• Clicking or ticking sounds may be audible when the unit
is generating ions.
A bad odour comes out of the air
outlet.
• Check to see if the lters are heavily soiled. Replace the
lters. (Refer to E-9)
• Plasmacluster Air Puriers may produce a slight odour.
This is normal and is a result of the Plasmacluster Ions
refreshing the air.
The Clean Sign is green, but
there is still odour in the air.
• The air could be impure at the time the unit was plugged in.
Unplug the unit, wait one minute, and plug the unit in
again.
The Clean Sign illuminates yel-
low or red, but the air seems
clean.
• Clean the dust sensor with a vacuum cleaner, as it may
be blocked or clogged.(Refer to E-8)
The Clean Sign doesn’t light on. • The Light Control is selected.
Press for 3 seconds to turn the light on.
The Clean Sign lights change
color frequently.
• The Clean Sign lights automatically change colors as
