PM2.5 MOLECULES

PM2.5 refers to particulate matter molecules that are less than 2.5 microns in size that can reduce visibility and cause the air to appear hazy such as air pollution from cars or smoke from cooking grease.

• The PM2.5 level display will show clean, fair or poor.
• The PM2.5 number displayed in is units of μg/m³, which means 'micrograms per cubic meter'. A reading of 1 μg/m³ means that one cubic meter of air contains 1 microgram of pollutant.

Press the PM2.5 button and the current PM2.5 level will flash. The air purifier will continually measure the particles in the air and display the current level. The ranges provided below are approximate, ambient conditions may vary.

• 65 or lower means that the air quality is clean.
• 65 - 140 means the air quality is fair.
• 140 or higher means that the air quality is poor.

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Volatile organic compounds are a large group of chemicals found in many consumer products such as paint, varnishes, cooking oils, air fresheners, etc. These can be released into the air and can pose health risks.

• The VOC level display will show clean, fair or poor.

Press the PM2.5 button twice and the current VOC level will flash. The air purifier will continually measure the VOCs in the air and display the current level.
