Guide to Efficient Use of Air Purifier

1. Ventilating
   

Ventilating introduces outdoor air into indoor space, and controls indoor air quality by diluting and displacing indoor pollutants. Ventilate indoor space three times a day for thirty minutes at a time. (Ventilation is most efficient during 9 AM and 8 PM.)


2. Regular cleaning
   

Regularly clean and wash to maintain low dust concentration in the living room and bedroom. Electronic devices (e.g. television, computer) can be sources of particulate matter and indoor air pollution.


3. Maintaining indoor humidity
   

Drying, ventilating, and controlling indoor humidity are essential to suppress the formation of mold and dust mites in the home. The most suitable household environment is 18–22°C with 40-50% humidity. You can suppress the reproduction rate of dust mites by controlling indoor humidity levels to less than 60%.


4. Removing odorous pollutants
   

Particulate matter and bodily harmful gases are produced when cooking. Make sure to turn on the ventilator and ventilate the area. It is good practice to dispose food waste as soon as possible because it causes odors and harmful gases due to decomposition when stored for a long time.


5. Operating the air purifier
   

After completing the four aforementioned steps, operate the air purifier to maintain a pleasant environment for 24 hours. The air purifier ventilates and directly eliminates odors and pollutants to be used as an assisting device for removing residual odor and particulate matter.


6. The guide to efficient use of the air purifier was made by referring to the Ministry of Environment’s Manual on Indoor Household Air Quality Management.
