It removes allergic materials, yellow dust/ultra-fine dust, possible sources of sick house syndrome, smog and other odor.

filter System

Total Harmful Gas Care filter

It removes harmful smells (gas) that are generated in everyday life such as bathroom smell, cigarette smoke

(smell) and food smell.

Total Allergen Collection Care filter

It removes super ultra-fine dust, yellow dust and cigarette smoke particles from the air.

Ultra-fine Filter

It is attached on the exterior of the

Total allergen Collection Care Filter, primarily removing large particles floating in the air, including pet hair.

filter Handle

Use it to separate the filter from the product.

Caution

• The Total Harmful Gas Care Filter and

Total allergen Collection Care Filter are assembled together. Do not try to detach them from each other.

• Do not throw the filter or use it for other purposes.

Note

• Keep the windows or doors closed while using the product. However, if you operate the product for a long time in a closed space, carbon dioxide concentration may rise. so be sure to ventilate the indoor air regularly.

• Carbon monoxide (CO) is a harmful gas that is mainly introduced from outside and cannot be removed with a filter.

• The deodorization function of the air purifier operates by trapping the smell (gas) in the filter. If you use the product for a long time in a room with excessive smell, the performance of the filter may drop significantly. The Total Harmful Gas Care

Filter may sometimes become the source of excessive smell if used for a long time in a room with excessive smell.

• If excessive smell is present in the room, first ventilate the indoor air to remove the smell. Then use the air purifier to remove the remaining smell.

Checking the Air Quality using the Light Lamp

Four different colors are used to indicate the overall air quality based on the dust concentration and smell (gas) concentration.

Turning on/off the Light Lamp

You can press and hold the Mode button for

3 seconds or more to turn it on/off.

lower light lamp

Note

The light lamp turns on white for the sensor stabilization period (30 seconds). The smell

(gas) sensor is stabilized 2 minutes after you start the operation. During this period, the smell (gas) concentration is not reflected in the overall air quality.

Note

• when the sleep timer is set, the light lamp turns off.

• If you turn on the light lamp after setting the sleep timer, you will see the overall air quality on the status panel as well as on the light lamps.

25

Checking Air Quality on the Status Panel

You may check the overall air quality, dust concentration, and smell concentration on the status panel.

• Overall air quality : You can check the

color (overall air quality) on the status panel to determine the overall air quality.

• Dust concentration : You can check the dust concentration by looking at the dust concentration value and the particle size indicator color. It shows the worst status among the PM 10 (fine) / PM 2.5 (ultra-fine)

/ PM 1.0 (super ultra-fine dust).

– If the dust concentrations of all categories are 'good', the concentration of the 'PM 10' is displayed.

– If it is worse than 'moderate', the color and concentration of the dust with the highest contamination level are displayed. If they share the same contamination level, the contamination level is displayed according to the following order: PM 1.0, PM 2.5 and

PM 10.

• Smell concentration : You can check the color (smell concentration) on the status panel to determine the smell concentration.

[example of the Display Showing Air

Quality]

Dust particle size and concentration color

Overall air quality smell concentration color

The above picture displays PM10/PM2.5/

PM1.0

, meaning that the concentration of super ultra-fine dust is higher than those of fine dust and ultra-fine dust.

while the color of the dust particle size is solely determined based on the dust concentration and the color of the (smell concentration) is solely determined based on the smell concentration, the color of the

(overall air quality) is determined based on the worse cause between the dust and smell.

If the smell is 'normal' and the PM 1.0 (super ultra-fine dust) concentration is 50 μg/m 3 , which is 'unhealthy', the overall air quality is displayed in orange as the worst cause is the dust. On the other hand, if the smell is 'very strong', the overall air quality is displayed in red because the smell becomes the worst cause.

Checking the Dust

Concentration

You can check the airborne dust concentration by its particle size.

Press the indicator button during the operation.

• whenever you press the button, the display changes in the following order:

PM10 → PM2.5 → PM1.0

.

• The concentration of the selected dust particle is displayed for about 10 seconds.

Dust concentration

26

Note

• PM (particulate matter) density is displayed in increments of 1 unit, from 8 to 999. PM density values are based on the data sheet provided by the sensor manufacturer.

• The PM10 and PM2.5 air quality values follow those provided by the united states ePa (environmental Protection agency) for

2015.

– The overall air quality level displayed on the product may differ from the level announced by the ePa.

• The PM1.0 density is displayed in the same manner as the PM2.5 density and is based on lG electronics standards.

• The PM10 and PM2.5 densities displayed by the product could differ from the ePa forecast and from densities measured by other products or devices.

– Differences in PM density values may be the result of different methods of measuring or differences in the actual

PM density levels.

– The PM density measurement was tested using lG electronics’ standard test materials.

• Using the product near a humidifier, mist generator, air-conditioner or other device which generates steam or micro-particles could affect the PM densities.

• The overall air quality level is a result of both PM densities and the odor level. It may differ from the PM10, PM2.5 and

PM1.0 density levels.

• even two products placed in the same space could measure the PM10 density differently due to air circulation.

• The chemicals contained in air fresheners, perfumes, deodorizers or cosmetics may affect the overall air quality display.

• The dust density displayed may change with environmental factors such as the presence of sofas, beds, carpets, vacuum cleaners, humidity, smoke, bugs, pets or cooking oils.

• The PM densities may be affected by changes in the outside environment such as construction, heavy traffic or pollen.

• The micro dust density could be higher near outside doors, windows, vents or in areas where outside air enters.

• use OnlY water to clean the sensor. using anything else could cause product failure.

• The fine dust density could be affected by cooking or using humidifiers, sprays or other products which generate steam or fine particles.

39

Symptom

A strange smell comes out from the air outlet as well as the filter.

Cause

The overall air quality is different from that of the Ministry of environment guide.

is the guide from the

Ministry of environment different from the product dust concentration?
