This product is for indoor use only. Although designed with safety in mind, electrical products can cause serious accidents if handled improperly. Please follow the precautions below for safe use.

Warning: Failure to follow warnings may result in death or serious injury due to fire or electric shock.

Caution: Failure to follow cautions may result in injury or damage to surrounding property.

• If you notice any abnormalities such as smoke or strange odors, or if the product malfunctions, stop using it immediately. Continuing to use it may cause fire or electric shock. If you feel any abnormality, unplug the power plug from the outlet immediately and contact the "Blueair Service Center".
• When inserting the power plug into the outlet, insert it straight until it is fully seated. Using it with the plug partially inserted may cause electric shock or fire.
• Periodically remove dust from the connection part of the power plug and the outlet. Accumulated dust can cause poor insulation due to moisture, leading to electric shock or fire.
• When unplugging the power plug from the outlet, do not pull the cord; always hold the plug. Pulling the cord can break the internal wires, causing short circuits, electric shock, or fire.
• Use with the rated voltage. This product is for domestic use in Japan only. Using it with AC voltage other than the rated voltage may cause fire.

• Children, or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, should not use this product unless supervised or instructed by a person responsible for their safety. Failure to do so may cause injury or accidents.
• Do not place the product where it can get wet. This may cause fire or electric shock. Also, be careful to avoid pet urine or steam from humidifiers.
• Install the unit at least 10cm away from walls. This can impair airflow, leading to overheating and potential fire hazards.
• Place the unit on a stable, level floor. This product is designed for floor placement only. It cannot be hung on a wall or placed on a shelf. If the product falls, it may cause injury or damage to property.
• Ensure adequate ventilation when using with combustion appliances. This product does not ventilate. Therefore, carbon monoxide poisoning may occur due to gases generated by combustion appliances.
• Only use genuine Blueair accessories and filters. Using non-genuine accessories or filters may cause product malfunction or accidents due to improper installation.
• Do not disassemble, modify, or repair the product yourself. The product contains high-voltage parts internally. Do not disassemble, modify, or repair it, as it may cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Touching the power plug with wet hands while inserting or removing it may cause electric shock.
• Do not pour water on the unit. This may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not install in places where flammable gases are used or may leak. This may cause ignition or fire due to gas inhalation.
• If the product will not be used for a long time, unplug the power plug from the outlet. Accumulated dust on the plug can cause poor insulation due to moisture, leading to electric shock or fire.
• When replacing the filter, cleaning, or inspecting the unit, or when moving the unit, stop operation and unplug the power cord. Performing these actions with the power on may cause electric shock or injury.

• Do not connect multiple devices using extension cords or power strips in a way that exceeds the rated capacity. This can overload the power cord and plug, leading to electric shock or fire.
• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the gaps of the suction or outlet ports or the main unit. This may cause electric shock, injury, or malfunction.
• Keep the following highly flammable items away from the unit: Hairspray, insecticides, cigarettes, incense, benzine, thinner, etc. These may cause ignition or electric shock.
• Do not use organic solvents (benzine, thinner, alcohol, gasoline, etc.) for cleaning. This may cause product malfunction.
• If the power cord is damaged, do not continue to use it or attempt to repair it yourself. Continuing to use it in a damaged state may cause electric shock, fire, or short circuits. Immediately unplug the power plug from the outlet and contact the "Blueair Service Center".
• Do not install in humid or wet locations such as bathrooms, as this may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not place the unit where it directly blows air onto plants or animals. Prolonged exposure to airflow can cause drying.
• Do not block the air inlet or outlet with curtains or laundry. This may cause overheating and fire.
• Do not operate the unit when using smoke or mist type insecticides. The accumulated chemicals inside the unit may be released from the outlet after re-operation, potentially harming health. Ensure adequate ventilation after using insecticides.
• Do not sit on, lean on, lay the unit on its side, or place objects on top of it. This may cause falls, leading to injury or product malfunction.

Usage Precautions

When the filter replacement indicator lamp lights up, replace the filter. If you do not replace the filter, not only will the dust collection effect be reduced, but it may also cause product malfunction. The replacement interval varies depending on usage frequency. Please refer to the "Filter Replacement" section for details.

Use genuine Blueair accessories and filters. Using non-genuine accessories or filters may cause product malfunction. Malfunctions caused by using accessories or filters other than genuine ones are not covered by the warranty.

Do not wash the filter with water. This will reduce the dust collection effect.
