Safety Precautions
Cleaning
 Do not use detergents when cleaning.
Usage of chlorine-based and acid type detergents will generate toxic gas and can cause a health threat.
Also, do not use neutral detergents as it may affect the plastic.
Place of Use
 Do not use in a location where there is huge amount of oily smoke such as in cafete-
rias and eateries.
The oil residue or dust deposited in the unit may cause fi re, unit failure and unpleasant odor.
 Do not use in a location where there is flammable gas, corrosive gas or metallic
dust, or risk of leakage of oil, fl ammable gas.
It may cause fi re, explosion or unit failure.
 Do not use in a location where solvents such as paint and adhesives are being used
or stored.
It may cause deterioration of parts or fi re.
 Do not use in a location where soot from oil, such as machine oil, is fl oating in the
air.
It may cause a crack, electric shock or fi re.
 Do not use in a location where any chemical is used. (Hospitals, factories, laborato-
ries, beauty salons, photographic laboratories, etc.)
Chemicals and solvents evaporating into the air deteriorate the unit. This causes electric shock.
 Do not use in a humid place or in a place where it may easily be wet, such as in a
bathroom.
It may cause electric shock or fi re due to ground leakage.
 Do not place it near a hot object such as a heater.
It may cause deformation, discoloration, injury and unit failure.
 Do not put in places exposed to direct sunlight, wind and rain.
It may cause overheating, electric shock and fi re due to ground leakage.
 Do not use in a location where a machine tool that produces flammable dust or
sparks (such as a grinder or welder) is installed.
It may cause fi re.
Miscellaneous
 Even after switching on, sometimes the air purifier is inoperative or air does not
come out. There may be "cracks" and "scratches" in the power cord, or the unit has
been moved which causes the operation to stop. There may also be unusual noise
and vibration during operation. The unit may be deformed and unusually hot. There
may be a burnt odor. If there are abnormalities aside from those mentioned, unplug
the power cord immediately to prevent accidents and contact your dealer to request
for checks or repairs.
These may cause fi re due to electric shock, ground leakage or short-circuiting.
 Pay specifi c attention when the user of the air purifi er is the following:
(Infants, children, the elderly, those who cannot control their body temperature)
When the body is exposed directly to the wind for a long time, health may be compromised.
