MANUEL D’UTILISATION

This product earned the ENERGY STAR by meeting

strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA.

US EPA does not endorse any manufacturer claims of

healthier indoor air from the use of this product.

The energy efficiency of this ENERGY STAR qualified

model is measured based on a ratio between the model’

s CADR for Dust and the electrical energy it consumes,

or CADR/Watt.

Ce produit a le droit de porter la marque ENERGY

STAR après avoir répondu à des critères stricts en ce

qui concerne l’efﬁ cacité énergétique, tels qu’établis par

l’agence EPA aux É-U. L’agence EPA aux É-U n’appuie

aucunement les témoignages publicitaires du fabricant

indiquant que ce produit rend l’air intérieur des locaux

plus sain.

L’efﬁ cacité énergétique de ce modèle, qui bénéﬁ cie de

la reconnaissance ENERGY STAR, est mesurée par le

rapport entre le DAP (débit d’air puriﬁ é) du modèle et l’

énergie électrique qu’il consomme, soit le rapport DAP/

Watt.

KC-860U

Please read before operating your new Air Puriﬁ er

The air puriﬁ er draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-

Filter, a Washable Deodorizing ﬁ lter and a True HEPA ﬁ lter inside of the unit, then dis-

charges the air through the air outlet. The True HEPA ﬁ lter can remove 99.97% of dust

particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the ﬁ lter and also helps absorb

odors. The Washable Deodorizing ﬁ lter gradually absorbs odors as they pass through

the ﬁ lter.

Some odors absorbed by the ﬁ lters may break down over time, resulting in additional

odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in ex-

treme environments (signiﬁ cantly more severe than normal household use), this odor

may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odor persists, the ﬁ lters

should be replaced.

NOTE

• The air puriﬁ er is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases (for

example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odor still exists, the

air puriﬁ er may not completely remove the odor.

in bodily injury.

• Do not operate the unit without the ﬁ lters, Water Tank, and Humidifying Tray properly in-

stalled.

• Do not wash and reuse the True HEPA ﬁ lter.

Washing will not improve ﬁ lter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.

• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.

Do not use volatile ﬂ uids and/or detergents.

The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.

In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.

• Frequency of maintenance required (descaling) will depend on the hardness or the impuri-

ties of the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be neces-

sary.

• Keep the unit away from water.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 6.5ft. (2m) away from

equipment utilizing electrical waves such as televisions, radios or wave clocks.

• Avoid a location where the sensor is exposed to direct breeze or draft.

The unit may not operate properly.

• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact with and

restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.

• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or rapid temperature

changes. (Use under appropriate conditions between 41 - 95˚F (5 - 35˚C) in the room.)

(If it is unavoidable please allow unit to stand for 1 hour before switching on.)

• Place on a stable surface with sufﬁ cient air circulation.

When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly.

Place the unit on an even surface to avoid water leakage from the Water Tank and/or Humidifying

Tray.

• Avoid use in locations where grease or oily smoke is generated.

(such as in a kitchen, etc.).

The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction as a result.

• Place the unit about 1-2 ft. (30 - 60cm) away from the wall in order to ensure proper airﬂ ow.

The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an

extended period of time in the same location, periodically clean the wall and protect the wall with a

vinyl sheet, etc. to prevent the wall from becoming dirty.

FILTER GUIDELINES

• Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the ﬁ lters.

Use only ﬁ lters designed for this product.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

HUMIDIFYING FILTER

Frequency of maintenance cycle will depend on the hardness or the impuri

ties of the water

that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.

1

Remove the Water Tank and

Humidifying Tray.

2

Remove the Humidifying ﬁ lter

from the Humidifying Tray.

Avoid spilling water from the Humidifying Tray.

3

Preparing the descaling solu-

tion.

Citric acid, available at some drugstores,

or 100% bottled lemon juice are used for

descaling. Choose either one to use, and

prepare the descaling solution.

Dissolve 3 teaspoons of citric acid and 2

1/2 cups of lukewarm water in a suitable

container, and stir well.

100% bottled lemon juice can be used for

descaling. Use only 100% bottled lemon

juice with no pulp (strain juice if neces-

sary). Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice and

3 cups of lukewarm water in a container

large enough to hold the Humidifying ﬁ lter

and stir well.

4

Pre-soak the Humidifying ﬁ lter

in the solution for 30 minutes

before cleaning.

When using lemon juice,

it is recommended to pre-

soak longer than citric

acid.

5

Rinse the Humidifying ﬁ lter

repeatedly with lukewarm water

to remove all the solution resi-

due.

Inadequate rinsing may cause odor and

affect the performance and/or appear-

ance of the unit.

• The Humidifying filter will not fit if

placed in backwards. Be sure there is

no gap between the Humidifying tray

and the unit when the Humidifying Tray

is replaced in the unit. The unit may not

operate properly if the Humidifying Tray

is not properly replaced in the unit.

• When not using the

unit for a long pe-

riod of time, dry the

Humidifying filter

completely before

replacing.

Plug in the unit, turn power ON,

and press the Filter Reset But-

ton on the display more than 3

seconds to reset.

You may notice reddish-brown or white

deposits forming on the surface of the

Humidifying ﬁ lter. These impurities (cal-

cium, etc.) are due to the impurities con-

tained in tap water; this is not a defect.

Replace the Humidifying ﬁ lter when it is

covered completely in white deposits.
