HEPA fi lter traps 99.97% of particles as small as
0.3 microns.
FRESHENS
By emitting a balance of positive and negative ions,
Plasmacluster air treatment is a natural process.
HUMIDIFIES
Controls humidity by sensing temperature and
humidity automatically.
*1:
VOC, NOx, SOx. The deodorizing performance
for a single component odours substance in a
1m3
test container may be different than the
deodorizing performance in actual use.
*2: When air is circulated through the fi lter system.
Sensor Technology continuously monitors air quality
and room condition, and automatically adjusts
operation.
• When in Intelligent mode you can manually switch
humidifying ON or OFF (Ref. E-8)
• Front Display and Air Outlet LED automatically switch ON
and OFF based on room brightness. (When light control
is set to "Auto". Ref. E-11)
• When the Motion Sensor senses that no one has been in
the room for a set interval of time it determines that the
room is unoccupied.
• You can change brightness of Display / Monitor, sensor
sensitivity, and Motion Sensor sensing time.

ENGLISH
The air purifi 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 fi lter and also helps absorb
odours. The Deodorizing Filter gradually
ab-
sorbs odours as they pass through the fi lter.
Some odours absorbed by the fi lters will break
down over time, causing additional odours. De-
pending on usage conditions, and especially
if the unit is used in environments signifi cantly
more severe than a normal household, these
odours may become noticeable sooner than
expected. If these odours persist, replace the
fi lters. (Ref. E-15)
When minerals in tap water adhere to the fi l-
ters and become a hard and white, they
absorb
odours in the room that can cause the
emission
of an unpleasant odour when the humidifying
fi lter is dry. (Varies depending on water quali-
ty and other environmental factors)
If this occurs, perform humidifying fi lter mainte-
nance. (Ref. E-14)
• The air purifi er is designed to remove air-suspended dust
and the odours.
The air purifi er is not designed to remove harmful gases
such as carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke.
The air purifi er may not completely remove an odour if the
source of the odour is still present.

PATROLLING FUNCTION
The sensor detects a state requiring attention to room temperature and humidity during operation and tells it with
Patrolling Light. Both "Dry and Low temperature patrolling" and "High temperature and High humidity patrolling"
work. (This function informs a room condition. The unit cannot adjust temperature or lower humidity)
It tells that the room is dry or the room temperature is low.
When Patrolling Light turns to red, the unit operates with airfl ow a little stronger during Intelligent mode (Auto mode).

LIFE OF FILTERS
Filter life varies depending on the room environment,
usage conditions, and location of the unit.
Lifespan of HEPA fi lter and Deodorizing fi lter and
replacement suggestions are based on purifying a
room in which 5 cigarettes are smoked per day and the
unit's dust collection and deodorizing performance has
declined to half the level of a new fi lter.
We recommend replacing the fi lter more frequently if
the unit is used in conditions signifi cantly more severe
than a normal household.
•HEPA Filter About 10 years after opening
•Deodorizing Filter About 10 years after opening
•Humidifying Filter About 10 years after opening
Replacement Filter Model
Consult your dealer when purchasing a replacement
fi lter.
Disposing of fi lters
Dispose of used fi lters according to local laws and
regulations.
HEPA Filter material:
• Filter: Polypropylene
• Frame: Polyethylene
Deodorizing Filter material:
• Filter: Paper
• Frame: ABS resin
Humidifying Filter material:
• Filter: Rayon, polyester
Maintain only the tagged
surface. Do not clean up the
opposite surface. The fi lter
is fragile, so be careful not
to apply too much pressure.
Both surfaces can be main-
tained.
The fi lter may be broken
if being too much power
is applied on it, so please
handle it with care.
Remove the dust on the HEPA Filter and
Deodorizing Filter.

CAUTION
• Do not wash the fi lters. Do not expose to sunlight.
Some odours absorbed by the fi lters will break down over time,
causing additional odours. Depending on usage conditions, and
especially if the unit is used in environments signifi cantly more
severe than a normal household, these odours may become
noticeable sooner than expected.
Replace the fi lter in those cases or if dust is unable to be re-
moved after maintenance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before contact for service, review the troubleshooting chart below to make sure that the problem is not a unit malfunction.
SYMPTOM REMEDY (the following are not due to a malfunction)
Odour and smoke persists. • Check the fi lters. If they appear to be extremely dirty, clean or replace them. (Ref.
E-15)
The Cleanliness Monitor is blue
even when the air is not clean.
• The air may have been dirty when the unit was plugged in. Unplug the unit, wait
one minute, and then plug the unit in again.
The Cleanliness Monitor light is
red even when the air is clean.
• Dirty or clogged dust(sensitive) sensor openings interfere with sensor operation.
Gently clean the sensor fi lter or the back panel. (Ref. E-13).
The unit makes a clicking or
ticking sound.
• The unit may make clicking or ticking sounds when it is generating ions.
Air discharged from the unit
has an odour.
• Check to see if the fi lters are extremely dirty.
• Clean or replace the fi lters. (Ref. E-13, E-14, E-15)
• Use only fresh tap water. Using other water sources risks the growth of mold,
fungi, or bacteria.
The unit does not operate when
cigarette smoke is in the air.
• Make sure the unit is installed in a location in which the sensors can detect cig-
arette smoke.
• Check to see if the dust(sensitive) sensor openings are blocked or clogged. If
they are blocked or clogged, clean the sensor fi lter or the back panel.
(Ref. E-13)
The FILTER RESET Indicator
Light is on.
• Whenever after performing maintenance or replacing the fi lters, connect the
power cord to an outlet and then press the Filter Reset Button. (Ref. E-13)
The Front Display is turned off. • When Light control is set to "Auto", the light automatically turns off when the
room is dark. Moreover, when Light control is set to "Turn off", the light is always
off. If you do not want the light to be off, set Light control to the "Darker" setting.
(Ref. E-11)
The Humidify Light on the
Front Display does not light up
when the tank is empty.
• The room has reached the appropriate level of humidity and has stopped hu-
midifying.
• Check the styrofoam fl oat for impurities. Clean the Humidifying Tray. Make sure
that the unit is on a level surface. (Ref. E-14)
The water level in the tank
does not decrease or decreas-
es slowly.
• Check to see if the Humidifying Tray and Water Tank are correctly installed.
Check the Humidifying Filter. (Ref. E-14)
• If the fi lter is extremely dirty, clean or replace it. (Ref. E-15)
The Cleanliness Monitor
changes colour frequently.
• The Cleanliness Monitor automatically changes colour when the dust (sensitive)
sensor and odour sensor* detect impurities. If you are concerned about the
change, you can change sensor sensitivity.
(Ref. E-11,E-12) (*UA-HG60E / UA-HG50E)
There is a discrepancy between
the unit’s Humidity Monitor
and another hygrometer in the
room.
• There is a difference in the humidity level within the same room.
• The sensor have different measurement parameters.
• If the monitor indicates wattage or temperature, switch the display by pressing
the DISPLAY SELECT button. (Ref. E-10)
The unit PM2.5 Light does not
match weather report or other
local PM2.5 data.
• Outdoor and indoor as well as the home environment (the volume of traffi c near-
by, number of stories in home, etc.) may cause a reading different than local
PM2.5 data.
"oC" Light fl ashing • The room is suitable for viruses to survive due to low room temperature. We
recommend you adjust the temperature using heating appliances. (Ref. E-9)
• The room temperature and humidity is high. We recommend that you drink
some water or lower the room temperature. (Ref. E-10)
