Key Features

• Automatic Cleaning Function: Simplifies maintenance and ensures sustained high dust collection performance.
• Purification Method: Plasmacluster NEXT 50000 airborne purification & filter purification.
• Applicable Floor Area for Air Purification (Approximate): Up to 46 tatami (76m²).
• Purification Time: 8 tatami / 6 minutes.
• Humidification Method: Evaporation type.
• Humidification Capacity: Maximum 1,000mL/h.

The Plasmacluster NEXT technology effectively suppresses airborne and adhering viruses, pollen allergens, mold spores, and dust mite allergens. It also reduces static electricity and decomposes/removes tobacco odors. The unit's unique 'Speed Circulation Airflow' with 3-way control louvers and Coanda effect efficiently draws in distant dust and powerfully absorbs dirty air through its wide rear intake.

Setup

Unboxing and Placement

Carefully remove the air purifier from its packaging. Ensure all protective materials are removed before operation. Place the unit on a flat, stable surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. For optimal performance, avoid placing it directly against a wall, as the unit utilizes a wide rear intake for efficient air circulation.

Operating Instructions

Air Purification Mode

The air purifier automatically detects air pollution levels using its sensors. The 'Omakase Operation' mode adjusts airflow automatically for efficient purification. The 'Droplet Particle Mode' is designed to target and capture virus droplets that tend to accumulate near ceiling surfaces, utilizing a simulated circulation airflow.

Humidification Mode

The unit offers an industry-first large-capacity humidification of 1,000mL/h, creating a comfortable and humidified environment. The humidification function can be activated as needed to maintain optimal humidity levels.

COCORO AIR Smart Functions

With built-in wireless LAN, the air purifier connects to the COCORO AIR app, allowing AI to optimize operation based on your usage patterns, air quality trends, and even location information. This enables thorough purification when you are away and a clean air experience upon your return. The unit can also provide voice notifications about air conditions.

Maintenance

Pre-filter Automatic Cleaning

The unit features an automatic pre-filter cleaning function that periodically cleans the pre-filter. This prevents clogging and helps maintain consistent dust collection performance over time, reducing manual cleaning frequency.

Filter Replacement and Cleaning

The air purifier is equipped with three high-performance filters: an electrostatic HEPA filter, a deodorizing filter, and an antibacterial/anti-mold dust-blocking pre-filter. Regular inspection and cleaning of these filters are crucial for optimal performance. Refer to the full manual for specific cleaning intervals and replacement procedures.

Water Tank and Humidifying Filter Cleaning

The water tank features a handle for easy carrying and a wide-mouth cap for convenient refilling and cleaning. An Ag+ ion cartridge, easily installed in the tank cap, suppresses bacteria that cause slime and odors in the water, requiring replacement approximately once a year. When humidification is not active, the humidifying filter stops in a position not submerged in water and is dried by airflow, ensuring cleanliness.
