Maintenance

Precautions before maintenance

• Be sure to unplug the USB power cord from the main unit.

Filter Care (about once every 2 weeks)

To maintain the performance of nanoe® X, frequent care is required for the filter. The degree of dirtiness of the filter may vary with the operating environment. Please clean the filter approximately once every two weeks or whenever it is clogged by dust or dirt.

• When using chemically treated cloth, please follow the instructions.
• Do not use the detergents shown in the image (e.g., Polish, Alcohol/Kerosene, Bleach, etc.).

Filter Cleaning Steps:

1. Remove the filter from the product (How to remove the filter → Page 9).
2. Wash off the dust with water.
3. Let the filter air dry after washing.

Stubborn dirt

When the dirt is difficult to remove, dampen a soft sponge with a small amount of neutral kitchen detergent to clean it. Then, rinse the detergent off and let the filter air dry in a cool place.

Notice:

• The filter is fragile, so please do not press or wipe it with too much force when cleaning. (Otherwise, the inhaled dust may enter the product from the damaged part, thus resulting in malfunction.)
• Do not operate the product with the filter removed. (Otherwise, the inhaled dust may enter the product, thus resulting in malfunction.)

When idle for a long time

Troubleshooting

If a problem is encountered, please investigate it by going through the following items. If the problem still persists, be sure to unplug the USB power cord from the main unit. Please contact the dealer for repair.

Further Information

About nanoe® X

Conditions for nanoe® X generation:

nanoe® X is generated by using the air in the room. Therefore, due to the differences in temperature and humidity nanoe® X may not be generated stably.

• Room temperature: about 5 ℃~40 ℃ (dew-point temperature: 2 ℃ or above)
• Relative humidity: about 30%~85%

When nanoe® X is generated, small amount of ozone will be released. However, the amount of ozone generated is far smaller than that of ozone present in a forest, which is not be harmful to human beings.

Comes with the nanoe® X technology

About nanoe® X:

• The so-called nanoe® X are charged water purification particles generated by applying high voltage to separate water molecules.
• nanoe® X features: high moisture content, small particles, high stability, etc.
  1. High moisture content (the moisture content is 1,000 times the moisture content of ordinary anions)
  2. Small particles (about 5 nm - 20 nm (nanometers) in size, able to penetrate deep into the fiber and stratum corneum)
  3. High stability (6 times more stable than a common ion, covering a distance of 10 m or above)
  4. More hydroxyl radicals (up to 4,800 billion of radicals are generated per second)
  5. Weak acidity (with weak acidity features close to that of hair and skin)

All of the above features have been tested by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd.

Note: nanoe® and the nanoe® mark are trademarks of Panasonic Corporation.

nanoe® X are particulate ions containing hydroxyl radicals whose amount is 10 times that of nanoe®.

About the product

• This product is a commodity that comes with nanoe® X, instead of a medical equipment.
• The nanoe® X technology has the functions of inhibiting bacteria and viruses, but it cannot achieve the sterile state and does not guarantee to prevent infection.
• The result is of the test performed with the nanoe® X generator in a limited environment. It is not verified with the generator installed in the product.
• The actual effect may vary with the specific operating conditions and usage conditions.

Specifications

The power consumption is measured in the factory setting status.

Electric specification and noise value are measured when static pressure is 0 Pa.

Noise value is the weighted sound pressure grade A, which is the central value measured by this company, its tolerance range is from +3 dB, -7 dB. The method to measure is as follows: In an anechoic chamber, measure the noise value at a position 1 m away from the left side, right side, top and front of the sample respectively, and then get the averaged value.
