CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
• Do not block the air intake or air outlet.
• Do not place the unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters, or where it may come into contact with
steam.
• Always operate the unit in an upright position.
• When moving the unit, use the handles on both sides.
Do not move the unit when it is in operation.
• If the unit is on tatami mat, easily damaged floor, an uneven surface, or thick-piled carpet, lift it up when
moving.
• When moving the unit by its casters, move it slowly and in a horizontal direction.
• Before moving the unit, make sure it is not operating, and remove the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray while
holding the handles of the unit.
• When removing the Water Tank, be careful not to get your fingers caught inside the unit.
• Do not operate the unit without the filters, the Water Tank, and the Humidifying Tray properly installed.
• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA filter and the Active Carbon Deodorizing Filter.
It will not improve filter performance and may cause electric shock or malfunction.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
Do not use volatile fluids or detergents.
Doing so may damage or crack the exterior of the unit and cause sensor malfunctions.
• The frequency of descaling maintenance will depend on the hardness of and the impurities in the
water used; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.
• Keep the unit away from water.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• When using the unit, place it at least 2-meters away from equipment that emits electric waves, such as
televisions or radios, to avoid electrical interference.
• Avoid locations where the sensors are exposed to direct wind.
Doing so may cause malfunctions.
• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the unit and
interfere with the intake and air outlet.
• Avoid locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic changes in temperature.
Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.
• Place the unit on a level and stable surface with sufficient air circulation.
When placed on heavy carpet, the unit may vibrate slightly.
Place the unit on a level surface to avoid water leakage from the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray.
• Avoid locations that generate grease or oily smoke.
Doing so may cause the unit exterior to crack and the sensors to malfunction.
• To ensure proper airflow, place the unit about 30 cm (1 ft) away from the wall.
The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an extended period
of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls adjacent to it. You can also prevent walls from
becoming dirty by covering them with a vinyl sheet or other protective covering.
• To move the unit with casters, check that the casters (on right and left sides) are unlocked and move it
slowly in the lateral direction only.
FILTER GUIDELINES
• Follow the instructions in this manual for proper filter care and maintenance.
