About the Filter

This air purifier uses a 3-stage filtration system to purify air.

1. Nylon Pre-Filter
   • Captures large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur.
   • Maximizes the life of the True HEPA Filter by protecting it.
2. H13 True HEPA Filter
   • Captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns (µm) in size.
   • Traps small particles such as fine dust, smoke particles, and allergens such as pollen and pet dander.
3. Custom High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter
   • Physically adsorbs smoke, odors, and fumes.
   • Customized using Levoit's exclusive ARC Formula™ to be especially effective for cooking smells and pet odors in a multi-pet household.
   • The ARC Formula extends the life of the filter by chemically decomposing molecules trapped within the Activated Carbon Filter, which prevents oversaturation and second-hand pollution.'
   • Filters compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Note: Levoit air purifiers filter airborne particles 0.3 microns in size. Arovast Corporation makes no claims that this air purifier helps reduce the COVID-19 virus.

Clean Air Delivery Rate

This air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 212 cubic feet per minute (CFM), or 360 m³/h.

Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) measures the efficiency of an air purifier by indicating the volume of clean air that an air purifier produces per minute. This is based on removal of dust, pollen, and smoke, which are the 3 most common indoor air pollutants. The higher the CADR, the more particles the air purifier will remove and the larger the area it can clean. The rating is measured at the air purifier's highest speed.

Humidity

Moisture may damage the filter. This air purifier should be used in an area with a humidity level below 85% RH. If you use the air purifier in excessively humid areas, the surface of the filter will become moldy.

Note: Water or moisture will allow mold to grow. To solve a mold problem, get rid of the source of the moisture and clean up the mold.

Air Change Per Hour

The air change rate (ACH) is how many times all of the air in a room can be purified (or "changed") by the air purifier in 1 hour.

Air changes per hour are calculated on the recommended room size assuming 8 ft / 2.4 m ceilings. For smaller rooms, the air change per hour will increase. This air purifier has an air change per hour of 3.4, which means it can change air 3.4 times at the max speed in a single, closed room up to 463 ft² / 43 m². The air purifier is effective for larger rooms, but air purification will take longer, with fewer air changes per hour.

Note: To effectively clean air, keep windows and doors closed while the air purifier is on.

Essential Oils

Do not add essential oils to the air purifier or filter. The filters will become damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Do not use oil diffusers near the air purifier.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Air Purifier

Note: Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or flammable cleaning agents.

1. Unplug before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside of the air purifier with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe the housing with a damp cloth, then immediately dry.
3. Vacuum the inside of the air purifier.

Cleaning the Sensor Cover

If the air quality indicator does not seem to be accurate, clean the sensor cover.

1. Remove the sensor cover. [Figure 2.1]
   
   Note: The sensor cover has a sponge inside to protect the air quality sensor from large particles.
2. Wipe the cover with a dry cloth. Wash the sponge with clean water, then dry.
3. Replace the sponge into the sensor cover, and then replace the sensor cover.
   Note: Do not throw away the sponge. If the sponge is not in the sensor cover, the air quality sensor may not work correctly.

Check Filter Indicator

When Should I Replace the Filter

The filter should be replaced every 6–8 months. You may need to replace your filter earlier or later depending on how often you use your air purifier. Using your air purifier in an environment with relatively high pollution may mean you will need to change the filter more often, even if is off.
