- Classifies the contamination level based on the state of Dust, Mote and Odor
with the Dust/ Odor sensor.
- Green indicates that the indoor air is clean. Orange means that the indoor
air is contaminated.
- During the first 2 minutes after the air cleaner is turned on, the contamination
level will move up and down because the sensor will be in
the process of analyzing the contamination level of the
indoor air. So it is recommended that you check the
contamination level after 2 minutes.

◆ VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) are substances which are
evaporated easily at the room temperature. Common sources
which emit VOCs into the indoor air include housekeeping
products, building and furnishing materials. In sufficient quantities,
VOCs can have direct adverse effects on human health. Many
VOCs have been classified as toxic and carcinogenic substances.
Therefore it is harmful to be exposed to these compounds for a
long period.

◆ Anions are ultra-fine particles charged negatively in the air.
There are vast quantities of them in nature, for example near
waterfalls or in the midst of a forest. When inhaled in sufficient
quantities, anions can enhance the metabolism of your blood cells,
help you recover from fatigue faster, and calm your nerves.
Thus anions are beneficial to you both physically and mentally.

Cleaning the Air Cleaner
E-15
Cleaning the Cover Sensor Section
To get the best possible result from your air cleaner, you must clean
the lens of the dust sensor regularly. The dust sensor is responsible
for sensing the accumulation level of small and big dust particles in
the air in your room.
1 Open the cover sensor section cover.
2 Clean the lens of the Dust sensor thoroughly and get rid of the dust of
around the Odor sensor with a cotton stick.

3 After you have cleaned the lens of the Dust sensor and the Odor
sensor, put the cover sensor section cover back into the place.
◆ You must clean the lens of the Dust sensor every 6 months.
However, this may vary according to the time and place that the
air cleaner was operated. So the air cleaner must be cleaned more
often in environments that have a high level of dust accumulation.
◆ The Odor sensor does not have a lens. So you do not need to clean
the Odor sensor net.
◆ You can clean the cover sensor section with the vacuum cleaner
without opening it.

◆ Check whether the Filter box was opened during operation.
Press the Power button if you wish to restart the air cleaner.
The air cleaner stops its
operation abruptly
◆ Make sure that the air cleaner is used in places that have
a high level of odor permeating contaminants in the air.

level of contamination is too high.
◆ Check whether the source of the unpleasant odor is the unclean
filters in the Filter box.
Unpleasant odors can be
detected coming from the air
cleaner.

Well-being Replace button after you have finished replacing the
Deodorizing filters.
The HEPA and Well-being
Indicators stay on.
◆ Contact the service center.The error code
is displayed.
◆ Check if you use a humidifier near the air cleaner.
- The steam from the humidifier may be attached to the Dust/Odor
sensor.
◆ Use the air cleaner away from the humidifier.
Orange light turns on on the
Contamination Level Indicator when
you use a humidifier and an air
cleaner at the same time.
◆ Close the air flow blade by using the Power button on the control
panel. Do not close the air flow blade with your hands.
The air flow blade does not close.
