PRODUCT FEATURES

The efficient “HEPA composite filter” brings you fresh and clean air

• The gas pollution level display keeps you updated with the indoor gas pollution level.
• The PM2.5 concentration reading display keeps you updated with the indoor PM2.5 pollution level.
• With the nanoeTM X technology

About nanoeTM X

• The so-called nanoeTM X are charged water purification particles generated by applying high voltage to separate water molecules.
• nanoeTM X features: high moisture content, small particles, high stability, etc.
  

1. High moisture content (the moisture content is 1,000 times the moisture content of ordinary anions).
2. Small particles (about 5 nm – 20 nm (nanometers) in size, able to penetrate deep into the fiber and stratum corneum).
3. High stability (6 times more stable than a common ion, covering a distance of 10 m or above).
4. More hydroxyl radicals (up to 4,800 billion of radicals are generated per second).
5. Weak acidity (with weak acidity features close to that of hair and skin).
   All of the above features have been tested by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd

Note: nanoeTM and the nanoeTM mark are trademarks of Panasonic Corporation nanoeTM X are particulate ions containing hydroxyl radicals whose amount is 10 times that of nanoeTM.

• Do not use the detergents shown below.
  
• Do not operate the product when the HEPA composite filter is removed.
  (Otherwise, the HEPA composite filter cannot function while it is removed. Dust will be inhaled into product inner parts, and caused the product breakdown. )
• See page 8~9 for disassembly instructions and installation of inlet cover and filters.

Cleaning method

• PM2.5 sensor < about once every 3 months >
  Wipe the dirt off the lens with a dry cotton swab
  Wipe the lens with a dry cotton swab as shown below.
  
  Wipe the lens periodically.
  (The sensor may not function normally with accumulation of moisture and smoke from cigarette.)
  Do not insert a cotton swab in other parts.
  You can use a light in order to see lens clearly.
  Be sure to disconnect the power before cleaning.
• Air outlet < about once a month >
  
  • Remove any dust using a vacuum cleaner, and wipe off the dirt with a well wrung-out soft cloth
  • Do not wipe it with a hard cloth or hardly. Otherwise, the surface may be damaged.
  • After the cleaning, dry the body naturally before starting the product.
• Deodorizing filter

• • When there is dust around the deodorizing filter, remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner, etc.
  • Do not wash the filter with water.
• Inlet cover and body < about once a month >
  Wipe off any dust and dirt using a well wrung-out cloth

• • Do not wipe it with a hard cloth or hardly. Otherwise, the surface may be damaged.
  • Wipe the power plug with a dry cloth.
    
• HEPA composite filter < about once every 2 weeks >
  Clean the black side (front side) with a vacuum cleaner, etc
  • Please do not apply too much pressure, otherwise the filter may be damaged. Maintenance is unnecessary for the white side (back side).
  • Do not wash the filter with water.

Filter replacement

(Optional accessories: back cover)

• The time when the filter replacement icon is displayed may vary with the air quality of the ambient environment. The display of the filter replacement icon is set according to the collection of solid particles by the filter. When the performance of the filter is degraded after it has collected a certain amount of solid particles, the icon is displayed as a reminder of replacing the filter. No replacement reminder is set for the icon display in terms of odor.
• Fill in installation date on the label attached with filter, then stick it on product to cover the old date.
• After replacing the filter, plug in the power plug, and press and hold and  at the same time for about 3 seconds. When the filter replacement icon lights off after blinking 3 times or when the product sounds “BI”, the reset is completed. (To replace the filter before filter replacement icon lights on, please observe the above procedure to reset the filter replacement period; otherwise, the indicator may not be able to correctly indicate the replacement period of the new filter. Do not perform the above procedure if the filter is not replaced; otherwise, the filter replacement period is reset.)

Notice

• The filter which needs to exchange cannot be used again even it is cleaned, please dispose the used filter as non-flammable garbage.
• If the product is used in a room (especially hotel) with strong odor such as aromatic smell, cigarette smoke or barbecue smell, these odors may adhere to the filter. When the adsorption capacity of filter reaches saturation, odor will also be blown out again with the wind because of excess adsorption. When there is above situation, please clean the HEPA composite filter. If the situation persists, please replace the HEPA composite filter and deodorizing filter, even if the filter replacement icon is off. In addition, if often used in a room with strong odor, please open the windows to ventilate the room regularly.

When idle for a long time

1. Disconnect power plug after turning off the product. (The product still consumes power even at rest.)
2. Maintain the product as usual.
3. Put the product into poly bag and carton, and keep it in a dry place. (If you overturn it or keep it flat, product malfunctions may occur.)

FURTHER INFORMATION

About gas sensor •PM2.5 sensor

The sensor detects air pollutants and shows the pollution level by the PM2.5 concentrations. In auto operation, the product can optimize the air volume for purifying the air according to the detected pollutants.

Notice

• The sensor’s operation may vary depending on the indoor airflow condition if a heater is placed near the product in a room.
• The sensor is not designed to detect bacteria and viruses
• The gas sensor and PM2.5 sensor do not operate when the operation is set to “Off”.

About nanoeTM X

• Conditions for nanoeTM X generation
  nanoeTM X is generated by using the air in the room. Therefore, due to the differences in temperature and humidity nanoeTM X may not be generated stably Room temperature: about 5 ℃～35 ℃ (dew-point temperature: 2 ℃ or above) Relative humidity: about 30%～85%
• When nanoeTM X is generated, small amount of ozone will be released. However, the quantity will be far less than the level in natural environment such as forest, and not be harmful to human beings.

About brightness reaction

The product detects the indoor brightness by the light sensor and adjusts the brightness of the LCD accordingly. When the indoor ambient light gets dark, the LCD dims accordingly.

FAQ

Please confirm the following before you put questions forward or send the product for repair.

• Q1: Why is a “jee” sound from the emission outlet?
  A: There is a slight sound when nanoeTM X is being generated. Depends on the environment and operation mode, the sound may be a bit loud or inaudible but it is not abnormal.
• Q2: Why does the PM2.5 figure remain unchanged?
  A: Such problems may occur because of the difference in sensitivity of PM2.5 sensor.
• Q3: Why will air outlet blow out the odor?
  
  • A: The adsorption capacity of filter reaches saturation, odor will also be blown out again with the wind because of excess adsorption.
  • A: The filter has not been cleaned after getting dirty.
• Q4: Why has the gas pollution level display never changed?
  A: Such problems may occur because of the difference in sensitivity of PM2.5 sensor.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If a problem is encountered, please investigate it by going through the following items.
If the problem still persists, please disconnect the power plug and contact the dealer for repair.

If any of the following cases occur, please contact the dealer immediately for repair.
