Are the sensors dusty?

During the Plasma deodorization, you may hear a small hissing noise or notice an ozone smell.(The level of noise and degree of the smell of ozone will vary depending on the environment.The generated ozone is of low concentration and is harmless to the body.)

The monitors do not change much(Odor monitor, microdust monitor andpollen monitor)

Is the room too large?Use the unit within the range of the applicable floor area.

Checking monitor operation:Rub tissue paper in front

of the main unit to

discharge dust.Blow cigarette smoke.

If there is a large volume of dust or odor, it maytake some time for the air to become clean.

The monitor lamp flashesThe monitor lamp will flash until the sensors become stable, even if thepower is turned on immediately after inserting the power plug.
