Safety Precautions
Miscellaneous
Securely hold the grip when carrying
air purifi er.
Damaging or dropping it may cause injury.
When you attach or detach the panel

injury of fi ngers pinched.
Use dry cell batteries properly after
reading the precautions on them.
Renew water in the water tank daily using
tap water and clean the tank periodically
according to the instructions given in the
"Cleaning" section of this manual.
Continued use without cleaning may allow
propagation of molds or bacteria due to
dirt and water scale, producing unpleasant
odor. In rare cases, they may cause a
health risk to those who are hyperactive. In
such a case, please seek medical advice.
Only use fresh tap water
Otherwise, it may cause deformation or
degeneration of parts, unit failure or unpleasant
smell due to propagation of molds or bacteria.
Do not use hot water (over 40ºC), water
through water purifi er, alkali ion water, mineral
water, well water or the like. Do not put organic
solvent or chemicals into the water tank.
Do not drink, or let drink, water in the
water tank and water tray.
It may cause a health threat.
Do not leave the detached water tank
with its cap closed.
Inner pressure of the tank changes
according to ambient temperature change
and may cause water leakage or injury
due to deformation or damage.
Use a genuine fi lter for the Hitachi Air Purifi er.
Other fi lters may cause unit failure.

Using such insecticide will cause
chemicals to accumulate in the unit and
to be emitted by subsequent operation,
which can be harmful to heath.
After using insecticide, ventilate the
room well before running the purifi er.
Do not allow water to freeze.
Water tank may be damaged, causing
a risk of electric shock and unit
failure. Whenever freezing of water is
anticipated, drain the water tank and
water tray.
Do not use the purifi er having water
leakage trouble.

If you carry the purifi er with fi lled water
tank, level of water in the tray will rise
and cause the water to overfl ow when
operated.
Drain the water tank and water tray
fi rst, and set them on the unit before
carrying.
