MANUEL D’UTILISATION
This product earned the ENERGY STAR by meet-
ing strict energy efciency guidelines set by the US
EPA. US EPA does not endorse any manufacturer
claims of healthier indoor air from the use of this
product.
The energy efciency of this ENERGY STAR quali-
ed model is measured based on a ratio between
the model’s CADR for Dust and the electrical en-
ergy it consumes, or CADR/Watt.
Ce produit a le droit de porter la marque ENERGY
STAR après avoir répondu à des critères stricts en
ce qui concerne l’efficacité énergétique, tels qu’
établis par l’agence EPA aux É-U. L’agence EPA
aux É-U n’appuie aucunement les témoignages

NOTE
Please read before operating your new Air Purier
True HEPA Filter
Washable Deodorizing Filter
Pre-Filter
The air purier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-
Filter, a Washable Deodorizing Filter and a True HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then
discharges the air through the air outlet. The True HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of
dust particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the lter and also helps ab-
sorb odors. The Washable Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odors as they pass
through the lter.
Some odors absorbed by the lters may break down over time, resulting in additional
odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in ex-
treme environments (signicantly more severe than normal household use), this odor
may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odor persists, the lters
should be replaced.
• If the source of the odor remains in the room the air purier may not be able to completely remove
the odor.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
HUMIDIFYING FILTER
Frequency of maintenance cycle will depend on the hardness or the impuri ties of the water
that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.

Preparing the descaling solu-
tion.
Citric acid, available at some drugstores,
or 100% bottled lemon juice are used
for descaling. Choose either one to use,
and prepare the descaling solution.
Pre-soak the Humidifying Filter
in the solution for 30 minutes
before cleaning.
4
When using lemon juice,
it is recommended to pre-
soak longer than citric
acid.
Rinse the Humidifying Filter
repeatedly with lukewarm water
to remove all the solution resi-
due.
Inadequate rinsing may cause odor and
affect the performance and/or appear-
ance of the unit.
Attach the Humidifying Filter

Care Cycle Once a month or when the Filter Indicator Light is on.
<For using citric acid>
Dissolve 3 teaspoons of citric acid and 2
1/2 cups of lukewarm water in a suitable
container, and stir well.
<For using lemon juice>
100% bottled lemon juice can be used
for descaling. Use only 100% bottled
lemon juice with no pulp (strain juice
if necessary). Combine 1/4 cup lemon
juice and 3 cups of lukewarm water in a
container large enough to hold the Hu-
midifying Filter and stir well. You may notice reddish-brown or white
deposits forming on the surface of the Hu-
midifying Filter. These impurities (calcium,
etc.) are due to the impurities contained
in tap water; this is not a defect. Replace
the Humidifying Filter when it is covered
completely in white deposits.
