SMART MODE

• The air purifier automatically adjusts the fan speed (1, 2, and 3) for optimal operation depending on the indoor air quality. This setting is suitable for most users.

Air quality| Good (blue)| Normal (green)| Unhealthy (yellow)| Very Unhealthy (red)
---|---|---|---|---
Fan Speed| Levell| Level2| Level2| Level3

SLEEP MODE

• This mode minimizes the fan speed during operation for a quiet and pleasant environment.

ECO MODE

• The product fan speed (Level 1 ➔ Level 2 Level 3) automatically adjusts according to the indoor air quality detected by the sensor. The ECO-mode operates if the air quality drops lower than Level 1 (Good).

 | Air quali Level 1| Air quality Level 2,3| Air qualit y I Level 4
---|---|---|---
Fan Speed| Level 1| Level 2| Level 3

• When set to Eco mode and the indoor air quality level is kept clean for more than 10 minutes, the fan stops operating for up to 30 minutes.
• If the indoor air quality worsens by continuously detecting particles, the fan will operate immediately even when the fan has stopped to purify the indoor air quality.
• After the fan re-operates, if the indoor air quality remains clean for more than 10 minutes, the fan repeats on and off.

ADJUST PARTICLE SENSOR

• When the product is operated for the first time, the air quality sensor is set to default sensitivity.
• If the air quality level remains high after running the air purifier for more than 2 hours, or if the air quality level stays clean after operating the air purifier for more than 1 hour, increase or decrease the sensor sensitivity.

1. While the product is operating, press the mode button and the light button simultaneously for more than 2 seconds. Pull the top of the back cover to open.
2. The current set sensitivity level is displayed on the indicator.
   • The default sensitivity is Level 2.

   • If the mode button and the light button are not pressed for 10 seconds, the selected sensitivity of the sensor is automatically entered.

AIR QUALITY INDICATION GUIDE

• PM 2.5 concentration guide and color display criteria are based on the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Environment and for the numeric expression of concentration, the company’s algorithm is applied. Normal is the default setting for product contamination, and if you change the setting to Sensitive or Insensitive, it will be displayed higher or lower than the default PM 2.5 concentration.
• The concentration of dust displayed on the product measures the indoor environment in real time, so it may differ from the guide of the Ministry of Environment and may differ depending on the place of use, the measurement method of the environment, etc.
• The maximum value of dust concentration displayed on the product is 500 µg/rrl.
• If the humidifier is operated near the purifier, the air quality measurement may rise.
• As the ultrasonic humidifier has large droplet particles. The particle sensor can recognize them as dust, thereby causing a miscalculation in the particle sensor. Keep it away from the air purifier.
• If the dust air quality level continues to display the maximum number of 500, the sensor is contaminated. Therefore, clean the dust sensor, turn off the power of the product and then turn it on again so that it can operate normally.
• PM 2.5 indicator is based on sensor certification. In clean environmental conditions, the low reading can be maintained continuously.
