*The number in this technology mark indicates an
approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm3,
which is measured around the centre of a room with
the “high-density plasmacluster 7000” applicable fl oor
area (at 1.2 m height above the fl oor) at the medium
wind volume in air purifying mode, when an air purifi er
using the high-density Plasmacluster ion evolving
device is placed close to a wall. This product is
equipped with a device corresponding to this capacity.

FEATURES
Air Purifier with Mosquito Catcher protects your family’s health by catching
mosquitoes and cleaning the air by plasmacluster technogy.
Catches mosquitoes with Insecticide-free material.
5 eff ective steps*1 based on fi ndings about mosquito habits, and by using air purifi er function.

*1 In collaboration with Institute for Medical Research, Malaysia
The air purifi er draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-
Filter, a Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharges the air
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.
The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odours as they pass through the fi lter.
Some odours absorbed by the fi lters may break down over time, resulting in additional
odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in
extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this
odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, the
fi lters should be replaced.
Please read before operating your new Air Purifi er
