Safety Precautions
CAUTION
Main unit
• Do not expose plants or animals to direct air currents from the unit.
Overexposure to air currents may have adverse effects.
• Keep fi sh tanks, vases and other water containers away from the unit.
Water infi ltration into the unit may lead to electric shock, fi re or damage.
• Do not climb, sit or lean on the unit.
Falling or toppling over may lead to injury.
• Do not remove the fi lter with the unit lying on its side.
Handling of this sort facilitates dust infi ltration, possibly leading to fi re or electric shock.
• Do not use the unit close to lighting equipment (within 1m).
The response of the main unit to the signal from the remote controller may be weakened and the
colour of the unit may change.
• Do not use the unit near to a fi re alarm.
If the air from the outlet is blown toward a fi re alarm, the alarm may respond late or it may not
respond.
• Regularly ventilate the room when using the unit in conjunction with
combustion appliances.
Inadequate ventilation may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
This product does not remove carbon monoxide.
• This product is not intended to be used by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or with a lack of operation
knowledge, unless they are given supervision or instruction
concerning appliance use by the person responsible for their safety.
Keep the appliance out of children’s reach to ensure that they do not
play with it.
• Unplug the unit during cleaning.
Handling the unit while it is plugged in may lead to electric shock or damage.
• This equipment should be inspected frequently and collected dirt
removed from it regularly to prevent excessive accumulation which
may result in fl ashover or a risk of fi re.
Other
• If you use the unit where pets are kept, be careful that pets do not
urinate on the unit or bite the power supply cord.
This may lead to electric shock or fi re. In the event of abuse by pets, stop operation, disconnect
the power plug and consult your dealer.
• Do not use combustion appliances where they are directly exposed to
air currents from the air outlet.
Incomplete combustion by the combustion appliance may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.
• As using indoor fumigating insecticides, stop operation to prevent
chemicals from being sucked into the unit.
Because chemicals accumulate inside the unit, some persons may, depending on their physical
condition, be hypersensitive and have their health jeopardized as a result.
Precautions during use
• Keep TVs, radios, stereos, radio clocks and antenna wires at least 2m away from the unit.
The effects of the power circuit inside the unit and cable may cause a distorted TV picture or noise.
(However, audio interference may occur even beyond 2m depending on the strength of the electric waves. Reception is particularly hindered when using
indoor antennas, therefore distance antennas far enough away to prevent noise from being picked up.)
• Do not use the unit in the place of kitchen fans or stove hoods.
This kind of use may shorten the service life of the prefi lter and the pleated fi lter, possibly leading to damage.
• Do not use the unit to preserve artwork, academic materials, etc., or for commercial or other special applications.
This kind of use may place the quality of preserved objects.
• Correctly attach parts after cleaning the unit.
Using the unit with parts such as fi lters removed may lead to damage.
Streamer discharge and electric dust collection
• Odour may escape from the air outlet due to the slight amount of ozone generated, but the amount is negligible and human health is not
affected.
This product does not remove the harmful substances (carbon monoxide, etc.) in cigarette smoke.
