2. Precautions for Use

1. Before use

Before using the system, the dealer must set the electrolysis condition setting to match the tap water that is used in
the customer's region.
Refer to "Setting the electrolysis condition."
Note: "Save" operation is engaged if the room humidity is 80% or higher.

2. What to do when the product will not be used for an extended period of time

This product periodically performs automatic cleaning inside the system. Therefore, be sure to observe the
following precautions.
(1) Do not unplug the unit power cord from the outlet.
(2) Check that the water tank is at least 1/2 full. In particular, if the system will remain stopped continuously for
2
3 days or longer, be sure that the tank is filled with water.
* It is recommended that you stop operation, then fill the water tank and place it back in the system.
Cleaning is performed for a certain period even when the ADD WATER lamp is lit. However, if the amount of water
in the tank is insufficient, the fan operates automatically to dry the inside of the system. This is not a malfunction.
When first starting a system that has not been used for a long period of time, it is recommended that the water
inside the unit be changed. For the water change procedure, refer to "Draining and Drying Procedure."

3. Draining

In order to maintain the full Virus Washer capability of this product, water is changed automatically and drainage
water accumulates periodically in the drainage tray. When the DRAIN lamp lights, perform the steps listed in
"Draining Procedure."
It is possible to continue with operation even when the DRAIN lamp is ON. The sound of running water will occur
during drainage. This is not a malfunction. Be sure to dispose of the drainage tank water promptly.

4. Odor

If the water inside the system becomes fouled, a strong chlorine smell may occur. In this case, drain and replace the
water inside the system. If the smell does not improve even after the water has been drained, please contact the dealer.

5. Adding salt

Salt must be added in regions where the electrolysis condition is 7. When the DRAIN lamp lights, add salt (1 g) to
the water tank. In general, this is necessary once or twice each week.
