Section 18

Note:

- When using different or identical products in the same space, air circulation may cause differences in the level of dust concentration. - The flow around the dust sensor interferes with the normal operation of the dust sensor, so the level of dust concentration displayed may differ from the actual level of dust concentration. - If the product is used in the following environments, the level of dust concentration displayed may differ from the actual value: - Around fabric sofas and beds, around shaggy carpets, when arranging blankets/clothes, when vacuum cleaners are in use, insects and pet areas, high humidity areas; - Places where outside air enters, such as construction sites, roadsides, factories or around entrances, windows and ventilation openings; - Where there are products that generate steam and fine particles (humidifiers, cookware, sprays, etc.); - Even if dust is generated by activities such as mopping or cleaning, the sensor may not respond if dust larger than fine dust is generated, but the dust will be removed by the filter

Section 19

Care and Maintenance

If used in environments with strong odors such as air fresheners, essential oils, cigarette smoke, or barbecue, the filter may absorb these odors and develop a strange smell over time (several weeks to several months). Increase maintenance frequency as needed. For best results, use this product in odorous environments alongside indoor ventilation. Note that odors take longer to remove than dust.

20 / 29
