Air Quality Indication Guide

• PM 2.5 concentration guide and color display criteria are based on the guide provided by the Ministry of Environment, and for the numeric expression of concentration, the company’s algorithm is applied. Normal is the default setting for product contamination, and if you change the setting to Sensitive or Insensitive, it will be displayed higher or lower than the default PM 2.5 concentration.
• The concentration of dust displayed on the product measures the indoor environment in real time, so it may differ from the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment, and may differ depending on the place of use, environment of use, measurement method, etc.
• The maximum value of dust concentration displayed on the product (PM1.0 / PM2.5: 500 ㎍/㎥, PM10: 999 ㎍/㎥).
• If the humidifier is operated near the purifier, the air quality measurement may rise.
• As the ultrasonic humidifier has large humidifying droplet particles, the dust sensor can recognize them as dust, thereby causing a malfunction in the dust sensor. So use it away from the purifier.
• If the dust air quality level continues to display the maximum value. Therefore, clean the dust sensor, turn off the power of the product, and then turn it on again so that it can operate normally.
• It displays the color of the bad condition among PM 1.0 / PM 2.5 / PM 10.
