After setting the electrolysis condition, re-install the front upper panel.
First engage the bottom hooks, then press simultaneously at the points marked "PUSH" on the top left and right
of the panel. A "click" sound should be heard.

Chlorine (disinfectant) odor
When this product is first used, there may be a disinfectant odor when operation starts. This odor will diminish
after the product has operated for a while (approximately a half day). If the odor does not decrease, lower the
electrolysis condition setting by 1.
Example: Electrolysis condition setting is "4" → Reduce the electrolysis condition setting to "3."
Optional Water Filter (Model: VW-WF100BG)
In regions with higher water hardness levels use one or more optional Water Filter pack(s) to reduce the hardness
level of water in the water tank when
operating the system.
The water hardness level can be checked
2
by your dealer using a pack tester.
The number of Water Filter packs that
should be added depends on the level of
water hardness.
(Refer to the chart at right.)
G The time for replacement of
Water Filter pack(s) is
indicated when the FILTER
lamp lights.
G Add the required number of
Water Filter packs into the
water tank.
G The FILTER lamp turns off
when the FILTER RESET
button is pressed and held
for 3 seconds.
CAUTION
G
Do not cut or tear open the Water Filter pack itself (enclosed in PET mesh), because it contains resin-based
filtering material.
G Be careful when handling the Water Filter packs. Released ion-exchange resin material is slippery if it drips on
the floor and can cause an accident if not wiped up.
(1) How to use the Water Filter packs
G Remove the specified number of Water Filter packs from the plastic bag.
G Take off the water tank cap and put the specified number of packs into the empty tank.
G
Fill the water tank with normal tap water.
G
Replace the cap and return the water tank to its original position.
(2) Replacing Water Filter pack(s)
1. When the FILTER lamp lights, it is time to replace the old Water Filter pack(s).
2. Empty any remaining water, and remove the previously used pack(s) from the water tank.
3. Put the specified number of fresh Water Filter pack(s) into the water tank.
4. Refill the water tank with normal tap water.
5. Replace the cap and return the water tank to its original position.
Note: You may find that unused Water Filter packs are slightly damp, however this
G
does not cause a problem and they can still be used as-is.
Never attempt to cut or tear open a Water Filter pack before adding it to the
G
water tank. Doing so will cause the special ion-exchange resin in the pack to
mingle with the tank water, resulting in a system malfunction.
Never put Water Filter packs into any water tanks other than that of the Virus Washer.
G
Proper storage of unused Water Filter packs
Avoid drying out any unused Water Filter packs. Do not open the plastic bag the Water Filter packs came in until
you are ready to use them. Any unused packs should be resealed in the plastic bag.
Used Water Filter packs can be disposed of as normal garbage. Do not open them prior to being discarded.
0 ppm < Hardness < 100 ppm: No Water Filter pack is needed.
100 ppm < Hardness < 200 ppm: Add 1 Water Filter pack.
200 ppm < Hardness < 300 ppm: Add 2 Water Filter packs.
300 ppm < Hardness < 400 ppm: Add 3 Water Filter packs.
400 ppm < Hardness: Water of this hardness level cannot be used.
