About “nanoe™”
Generating environment of nanoe™
A small amount of ozone is generated.
Ɣ
nanoe™ is generated using the air in the room and hence, depending
on the temperature and humidity, nanoe™ may not be generated.
Ɣ
Generation conditions: Room temperature: approximately 5 °C to 35 °C
(Dew-point temperature: approximately 2 °C or higher)
Relative humidity: About 30 % to 85 %
Ɣ
When nanoe™ is generated, small amount of
ozone will be released. However, the quantity
will be at the usual level in forest or natural
environment, and not harmful to human beings.
Functions of the nanofiber HEPA filter
The bio-sterilizers and super allergy buster embedded within the nanofiber HEPA filter inhibits allergic substances
(pollen, dead bodies and excreta of mites), bacteria and mold spores.

Super allergy buster: inhibits allergic substances (pollen, dead bodies and excreta of mites).
Testing trustee: Osaka Municipal Technical
Research Institute
Test method: verify the reduction in refined mite allergens with the enzyme immunoassay method

The nanofiber HEPA filter may emit certain odors associated with “green tea catechin”, “bio-sterilizer” and “super
allergy buster”, but these are harmless.

The deodorizing effect differs depending on the surrounding environment (temperature / humidity), operation time, or type of odor / textile.
The effect refers to the results achieved in a test area, and
does not indicate the effect achieved during actual use.
Functions of the odor sensor, dirt sensor
The sensor detects dirt in the air, and the
clean sign indicates how dirty the air is. When
“Air volume” and “Airflow” are set to [Auto],
the air volume and airflow are adjusted to the
optimum level to suit the type of dirt in the air.
Ɣ
The product may not sense the dirt
depending on airflow, for example, when a
heater is placed nearby.
