When the Humidifying Filter is moisturized, humid air will be discharged from air

outlet. Humidification is achieved without water-boiling, so steam or vapour cannot

be seen. It will not humidify the room excessively.

I do not see steam. Is it really humidifying? Doesn't

the product humidify the room too much?

Humidity may not rise to the optimal level when there is no water in the tank or the

humidifying filter is clogged with hard water scale or dust. Clean the humidifying

filter, the tray and the water tank.

Also, humidity may not rise to the optimal level depending on the size or condition

of a room where the product is used.

In that case, set the fan speed to “MAX” or “MED”.

Why does the humidity level not increase during

humidifying operation?

The tap water is chlorinated and germs hardly develop.

If you use any water other than tap water (well water, water of water cleaner,

bottled mineral water etc.), mold or germs develop frequently, producing plenty of

scale and odors.

Carry out the maintenance frequently is required.

Do I have to use tap water?

Odor could come out from the air outlet through filters or other sections after the

unit in use is exposed to strong odor such as cigarette or BBQ smoke or if

saprophytic bacteria have propagated in residual water in the Humidifying Tray or

Water Tank.

Clean the HEPA Filter, Active Carbon & Silica Gel Deodorizing Filter, Humidifying

Filter, Humidifying Tray and Water Tank.

The air blowing out is smelly.

As the water draws heat from room when it is evaporated, the temperature of wind

becomes lower than room temperature. You may feel cold depending on the size

of the room.

(When the room temperature is 20°C and the humidity is 30%, the temperature of wind blowing out

from the air outlet is approximately 15°C)

The unit is designed to blow air toward a diagonally rear direction and a front direction

at the same time to efficiently deliver the high-density Plasmacluster Ion throughout a

room. You may feel cold depending on the location where the unit is placed.

(If you feel cold, change the location of the unit)

It seems that the unit is blowing out cold air.
