PREPARATION BEFORE USE
1 HOW TO INSTALL THE FILTER (Be sure to assemble the filter before using the Air Purifier.)
1
1Pull the front panel toward you and remove it while grasping the
intake air opening at the bottom of the main unit.
3Remove the Prefilter from the main unit.

2Remove the Antivirus Filter from the main unit.
4Remove the washable filter in the bag from the main unit.
NOTE: Take the washable filter out of the plastic bag, before use, and set it on the main unit.

When handling the washable filter, the deodorizing ingredient (black powder) may stick to
hands if you touch the deodorizing section (black mesh face) on the filter or when inserting
hands in the bag. This is normal because abundant amount of black powder is used to assist
the deodorizing performance sufficiently and apply the deodorizing ingredient
homogeneously.
