Safety Precautions
Cleaning
 Do not use detergents when cleaning.
Usage of chlorine-based and acid type detergents will generate toxic gas and can cause a health threat.
Also, do not use neutral detergents as it may affect the plastic.
(Except when cleaning the humidifying filter)
 Do not use detergents when cleaning the water tank or water tray.
The detergent ingredients may damage the unit, which may cause water leakage, electric
shock, injury and unit failure.
Place of Use
 Do not use in a location where there is huge amount of oily smoke such as in cafete-
rias and eateries.
The oil residue or dust deposited in the unit may cause fire, unit failure and unpleasant odor.
 Do not use in a location where there is flammable gas, corrosive gas or metallic
dust, or risk of leakage of oil, fl ammable gas.
It may cause fire, explosion or unit failure.
 Do not use in a location where solvents such as paint and adhesives are being used or stored.
It may cause deterioration of parts or fire.
 Do not use in a location where soot from oil, such as machine oil, is fl oating in the air.
It may cause a crack, electric shock or fire.
 Do not use in a location where any chemical is used. (Hospitals, factories, laborato-
ries, beauty salons, photographic laboratories, etc.)
Chemicals and solvents evaporating into the air deteriorate the unit. This causes water leakage
and wets the furniture or may cause electric shock.
 Do not place on shelves, desks, tables, etc.
The unit may fall due to its movement and vibration which may cause water leakage and electric shock.
 Do not place in a location which has a thick carpet or uneven fl oor.
The unit may incline and fall which may cause water leakage and electric shock.
 Do not use in a humid place or in a place where it may easily be wet, such as in a bathroom.
It may cause electric shock or fire due to ground leakage.
 Do not place it near a hot object such as a heater.
It may cause deformation, discoloration, injury and unit failure.
 Do not put in places exposed to direct sunlight, wind and rain.
It may cause overheating, electric shock and fire due to ground leakage.
 Do not use in a location where a machine tool that produces flammable dust or
sparks (such as a grinder or welder) is installed.
It may cause fire.
Miscellaneous
 Even after switching on, sometimes the air purifi er is inoperative or air does not come
out. There may be "cracks" and "scratches" in the power cord, or the unit has been
moved which causes the operation to stop. There may also be unusual noise and vibra-
tion during operation. The unit may be deformed and unusually hot. There may be a burnt
odor. If there are abnormalities aside from those mentioned, unplug the power cord im-
mediately to prevent accidents and contact your dealer to request for checks or repairs.
These may cause fire due to electric shock, ground leakage or short-circuiting.
 Pay specifi c attention when the user of the air purifi er is the following:
(Infants, children, the elderly, those who cannot control their body temperature)
When the body is exposed directly to the wind for a long time, health may be compromised.
 When carrying the air purifi er, unplug the power cord and drain the water in the water tank.
It may cause water leakage which may cause electric shock and ground leakage, and wets the furniture.
