CAUTION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Do not place any containers that
contain liquid on top of the
system.

Doing so may result in system 
malfunction.

Prohibited

Be sure to securely reinstall all
components after cleaning.

Using the unit without the water tank, filter, or
other component securely installed 
may result in system malfunction. 

Req

u

ired

Install the system indoors, and
use in an environment between
5°C and 35°C.

In a particularly cold environment, the freeze-
prevention function may be 
activated, and the unit may not 
operate even when the power 
switch is turned ON.

Req

u

ired

Do not install in a location
exposed to dripping water.

Doing so may result in system malfunction.

Prohibited

Do not perform cleaning while the
system is operating.

Doing so may result in electric shock or
injury.

Prohibited

Grasp the power plug when
unplugging the power cord.

When unplugging the power cord, do not
grasp the cord. Instead, be sure to grasp the
power plug at the end of the cord 
and pull out the plug. Unplugging 
the cord incorrectly may result in 
electric shock, short circuit, or fire.

Req

u

ired

Do not use the system with the
filter removed.

Dust entering into the system may cause
system malfunction.

Req

u

ired

Avoid installation in high
locations. Install in a flat and
stable location.

Observe this precaution in order to ensure
that the system functions correctly. 
Failure to do so may result in the 
unit tipping over due to earthquake 
or contact by persons.

Req

u

ired

Do not obstruct the outlet.

Do not obstruct the air outlet with a curtain,
towel, or other item.
Doing so may result in system malfunction.

Prohibited

Do not place any items on the
unit.
Do not climb onto the unit.

Doing so may result in system 
malfunction, or in the unit tipping 
over.

Prohibited

Install in a location where there is
little humidity, oil mist, or other
airborne substance.

Select a location for use that is free of
humidity, dust, oil smoke (oil particles
generated from cooking), and salt. 
Failure to do so may result in 
odors or in system malfunction.

Req

u

ired

Secure space of 10 cm or more at
the left and right sides of the unit.

Also, allow servicing space of 100 cm or
more above and to the front of the unit.
Failure to do so may result in 
system malfunction.

Req

u

ired

Be sure to use normal tap
(drinking) water.

Never use water from a water purifier, water
from a water heater, alkali ion water, mineral
water, well water, seawater, or other types of
water. These types of water cannot be
electrolyzed and can cause the growth of
mold or bacteria, resulting in odor.

The electrolysis condition must
be set correctly according to the
water quality in the region where
the product is used.

For details, refer to “Setting the electrolysis
condition.”

Do not unplug the power cord,
even if the unit will not be used
for a while.

Even when the unit is stopped, cleaning
inside the system is performed automatically.
Check that there is water in the water tank,
and do not unplug the power cord.

Perform regular cleaning.

Follow the instructions under “Cleaning the
System,” in order to clean and maintain the
unit.
If the unit becomes especially dirty, mold may
grow, resulting in odor.

Do not direct the discharged air
directly onto walls or furniture.

Do not allow the discharged air to directly
contact walls or furniture.
It may damage the walls or furniture, resulting
in stains.

Be careful of freezing.

Freezing may result in system malfunction
and damage.

When relocating or storing the product (if it will
not be used for a long period of time), drain the
electrolyzed water and dry the air purification
element.

Req

u

ired

This system is not able to break down or remove
toxic gasses and substances.
Be sure to open a window or otherwise ventilate
the interior of the room if a release occurs.

If the system is used for a long period in a 
small room, open a window and ventilate 
the room as necessary.
