3. High stability (6 times more stable than a common ion, covering a distance of 10 mor above)
4. More hydroxyl radicals (up to 4,800 billion of radicals are generated per second).
5. Weak acidity (with weak acidity features close to that of hair and skin).

MAIN PARTS IDENTIFICATION

• Filter replacement indicator
• nanoe® nanoe® X indicator The indicator lights on indicates nanoe® X is being generated. nanoe® X will be generated in all operation modes except you switch off it. ( P.15)

SETUP

Before startup

Fill in the label with the first date of use.

Remove the deodorizing filter from the poly bag

Install the filters (2 types) and front panel

1. Install deodorizing filter. (There is no distinction between inside and outside, upper and lower)
   

2. Install HEPA composite filter. (There is distinction between inside and outside, no distinction between upper and lower)
   

3. Toggle the filter hook downward, and secure filters.
   

4. Install front panel.
   

Connect the power plug.

When inserting the power plug, as the odor sensor uses the degree of cleanliness at this time as the standard, we recommend that you plug it in when the air is fresh (when there is no cigarette smoke). (The standard of the odor sensor automatically updates itself according to the degree of the indoor cleanliness.)

OPERATION

Power Off/On

Turn on or off the product. Press the button to operate. The product operates in auto air volume mode when it is used for the first time, then operates in the last mode when it was stopped.

Air volume

Select appropriate air volume for purifying air. The indicator will be changed sequentially as figure below. Automatically adjust the air volume according to the air pollution detected by sensor, and use appropriate air volume to purify air

Econavi

Smart power-saving mode. Press the button will operate in Econavi mode. Econavi is a smart power-saving operation combined by the “patrol mode” and “learning mode”, and it adjusts the air volume automatically. (P.16)

PM2.5

Remove PM2.5 quickly. When indicator is on, you can press the button to remove PM2.5 quickly, until the indicator lights off. (At this moment the PM2.5 mode will stop, then product will switch to the previous mode and continue.)

• If the product is used in a room (especially hotel) with strong odor such as aromatic smell, cigarette smoke or barbecue smell, these odors may adhere to the filter. When the adsorption capacity of filter reaches saturation, odor will also be blown out again with the wind because of excess adsorption. When there is above situation, please clean the HEPA composite filter. If the situation persists, please replace the HEPA composite filter and deodorizing filter, even if the filter replacement indicator is off. In addition, if often used in a room with strong odor, please open the windows to ventilate the room regularly.

FURTHER INFORMATION

About nanoe® X

• nanoe® X can be switched off. nanoe
• Conditions for nanoe® X generation
• When nanoe® X is generated, small amount of ozone will be released. However, the quantity will be far less than the level in natural environment such as forest, and not be harmful to human beings.

About HEPA composite filter

• Super Allergy-buster: inhibits the activity of allergic substances (pollen, dead mites and feces).
• The HEPA composite filter might emit unique and harmless smell of “Green Tea Catechin”, ”Bio-sterilization” and “Super Allergy-buster”.
• Removes ≥99.97% of 0.3 µm particles. it’s dust removing performance of filter itself, the effect in the entire room is not same.

About Econavi

Econavi mode refers to the automatic operation combined by the “patrol mode” in which the product detects the dirt in the air in the room every hour and the “learning mode” in which the product can forecast the dirt generation by mastering the generation time of dirt every day. Automatically stops operating when the clean air is detected, meanwhile it also operates in advance to eliminate the dirt effectively before spreading, thus reducing the operation time and saving power.

**Patrol mode

**

The product will stop operating automatically after the air is cleaned. After the operation is paused for 50 min,the product will operate for 10 min with air volume set to “Med” in the patrol mode. While the operation is paused in the patrol mode, the product will operate with the suitable air volume corresponding to the dirtiness detected.

Learning mode

The product records the time and dirtiness of air during operation, and takes the preventive operation 5 min before the recorded dirt is generated in the next day. (Although the records are updated every day, the previous records will be lost once the power plug is disconnected.)

About odor sensor/dirt sensor

The sensor can detect the pollution of the air, and show the pollution level by indicator. The product can optimize the air volume automatically in auto operation according to the air quality

• The sensor’s operation may vary depending on the indoor airflow condition if a heater is placed near the product in a room.
• The sensor is not designed to detect bacteria and viruses.
• The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted. (The default setting is “medium sensitivity” .)
