Pointers for good positioning
• Choose a position from where airow can reach all areas of
the room.
• Place on a stable surface. If the unit is placed on an unstable
surface, vibrations from the unit may be amplied.
• If interference from the power circuit inside the unit or cables
causes disturbance of TV screen images or the emission of
static noise from nearby radios or stereos, move the unit to
at least 2m away from the device.
Keep cordless phones and radio-controlled clocks away from
the unit also.
Attention
• To avoid staining of walls, position the unit in accordance with the positioning measurements in the illustration. However, note
that since this unit draws in dirty air, certain types of wall may become stained even if the measurements are adhered to.
In such cases, be sure to maintain sufcient distance between the unit and the wall.
• When used for a prolonged period in the same location, the oor and surrounding walls may become stained as air is drawn
into air inlets near the base of the unit. Periodic cleaning is recommended.
