the product and interfere with the intake and outtake of air.
• Avoid locations where the product is exposed to condensation or drastic changes
in temperature. Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.
• Place the product on a level and stable surface with sufficient air circulation.
Strong wind or dust through the window may prevent the product’s air purifying
performance and efficacy.
When placed on heavy carpet, the product may vibrate slightly.
• Avoid locations that generate grease or oily smoke. Doing so can cause the
product exterior to crack.
• The dust collecting ability of the product is effective even when the product is
as close to 3 cm from the wall, the surrounding walls and floor may get dirty.
Please place the product at a distance from the wall. The wall directly behind the
air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the product for an extended
period of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls adjacent to it.
MAINTENANCE
• Follow the instructions in this manual for proper filter care and maintenance.

EN-4
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
The air purifi er draws in room air through the Air Inlet, circulates it through a
Pre-Filter and a HEPA Filter inside the product, 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.
Some odours absorbed by the fi lter will break down over time, causing additional
odours. Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the product 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 lter.
NOTE
• The air purifi er is designed to remove air-suspended dust.
The air purifi er is not designed to remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide contained
in cigarette smoke.
