The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore means four air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 15 minutes. And means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes. And means one air change per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.

The energy efficiency of this ENERGY STAR-certified model is measured based on a ratio between the model’s CADR for Smoke and the electrical energy it consumes, or CADR/Watt.

Modes

Auto mode
The product automatically adjusts the airflow speed (Levels 1, 2, and 3) for efficient operation depending on the indoor air quality detected by the sensor. The mode is intended for general users’ convenience.

Air quality| Good (blue)| Moderate (green)| Unhealthy (yellow)| Very Unhealthy (red)
---|---|---|---|---
Airflow Speed| Level 1| Level 2| Level 2| Level 3

[Sleep mode (Only available in auto mode)]
When the machine’s light sensor determines that the space is dark for more than 3 minutes when in auto mode, the device enters sleep mode automatically (operates the same as a silent mode). All indicators except the silent mode indication are turned off when in sleep mode. If the area is bright for more than 5 minutes, the purifier will exit sleep mode and revert to auto mode.

Eco mode
Although it operates the same way as the auto mode, it pauses the purification process for 30 minutes if the PM2.5 concentration is maintained at ug/m³ or less for 10 minutes. When the machine is in Eco Mode, all indicators except for the air quality and eco mode indicators are turned off. The purification is resumed when the PM2.5 concentration becomes ug/m³ or higher or when there is a user input (pressing any button).

Silent mode
This setting reduces airflow speed during operation to create a quiet and comfortable environment. It consumes less power and produces minor noise during operations.

Turbo mode
Turbo mode accelerates the air purification process with a faster airflow speed equivalent to Level 3 in manual mode. At maximum airflow speed, it consumes more energy and may produce noise.

Turbo mode lasts 10 minutes and reverts to auto mode.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND COWAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND COWAY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions
For the purposes of this section, references to “Coway” mean Coway USA, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute
In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify Coway in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to Coway at Coway USA, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 4221 Wilshire Blvd., STE 210, Los Angeles, CA 90010.

You and Coway agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and Coway are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30-day period after sending written notice to Coway, you and Coway agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt-out as provided below. Any dispute between you and Coway shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and Coway shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures
To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or Coway must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to Coway at Coway USA, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 4221 Wilshire Blvd., STE 210, Los Angeles, CA 90010.

If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law
The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.

Fees/Costs
If you prevail in the arbitration, Coway will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse Coway for all monies previously disbursed by it which are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

Hearings and Location
If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Opt-Out
You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt-out, neither you nor Coway can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt-out, you must send notice to Coway no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to info@cowaymega.com with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-285-0982. You must include in the opt-out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased;(c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found on the product.

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty.
