What advantages does ion mist
Q1
have?
How does ion mist work?
Q2
Q3
Does ion mist ever fail to function?
Q4 How should I judge whether the
ion mist is functioning?
What happens if the ion mist
Q5
becomes covered with dust or
other foreign matter?
Are electric shocks unlikely?
Q6
Setting the product to ion mist (electrostatic
A1
atomization) deodorizes curtains and clothes.
Collect the moisture from the indoor air into the ion
A2
mist bin. Apply a voltage of about − 6,000 V to the
ion mist bin, ionize it, and discharge it indoors. The
ions will penetrate textiles and deodorizes the odor
from inside.
A3
・If the indoor temperature is less than 16℃ or
more than 32℃, the Peltier device will undergo no
energization to protect the Peltier device.
・When air supply is disabled, the Peltier device will
not be energized.
・When the indoor humidity is more than 73℃, the
ion mist bin will undergo no energization to protect
its electrodes
(it will be reset at less than 68%).
・When the front panel is open, the "air purification"
lamp on the display on the indoor unit will blink
(on for 1 second and off for 1 second).
If the ion mist unit is operating, the "air purification"
A4
lamp on the display of the indoor unit becomes
turned on. If the "air purification" lamp blinks, the
ion mist unit should not be working. In that case,
check if it applies to the condition A3 above.
A5 The deodorization capacity will decline.
Detach the power plug (or turn off the breaker), then
remove dirt from the ion mist bin with a cotton stick.
(Ensure that the cotton stick is dry.)
A6
Opening the front panel while the ion mist unit is
operating will cause the limit switch to turn off the
energization of the ion mist unit.
If the front panel is open, the ion mist unit will not
become energized.
