Operation

Understanding the air quality light ring

The light ring indicates the air quality. It lights up all colours in sequence, when the air purifier is switched on. After approximately 30 seconds, the particle sensor selects the color that corresponds to the surrounding air quality of airborne particles, according to table 3.

PM2.5

PM2.5 refers to ultra-fine airborne particle pollutants smaller than 2.5 micrometers. Most of the indoor air pollutants fall under PM2.5 like: tobacco smoke, cooking and burning candles, some airborne bacteria and the smallest mold spores, pet allergen and dust mite allergen particles also fall under PM2.5.

The air quality sensor scans the air continuously to detect the ultra-fine particles. This information is reported continuously in both the digital display and the light ring, providing real-time PM2.5 feedback.

Table 3 Air quality light colors and PM2.5 levels

Air quality light color	Air quality level	PM2.5 level
Blue	Good	0-12
Purple	Ok	13-35
Orange	Poor	36-55
Red	Bad	>56

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common issues that may occur with the appliance. If the solution is not found in the table below, please contact an authorized service technician.

Table 4 Problems and solutions

Problem	Possible solution
The airflow that comes out of the air outlet is significantly weaker than before.	The surface of the filter is dirty. Clean the surface of the filter (Chapter "Cleaning and maintenance").
The air quality does not improve, even though the appliance has been operating for a long time.	Check if the plastic cover is removed from the filter. The filter has not been placed in the appliance. Make sure that the filter is properly installed. The particle sensor is wet. The humidity level in the room is high and causes condensation. Make sure that the particle sensor is clean and dry (Chapter "Cleaning and maintenance"). Room size is large or the outdoor air quality is poor. For optimum purification performance, close the doors and windows when operating the air purifier. There are indoor pollutants. For example, smoking, cooking, incense, perfume or alcohol. Filter has reached the end of life. Replace the filter with a new one.
The color of the air quality light always stays the same.	The particle sensor is dirty. Clean the particle sensor (Chapter "Cleaning and maintenance"). If the air quality is good, the light should be blue at all times.
The appliance produces a strange smell.	The first few times using the appliance, it may produce a plastic smell. This is normal. However, if the appliance produces a burnt smell even after removing the filter, contact support services. The filter may produce smell after being used for a while because of the absorption of indoor gases. It is recommended to reactivate the carbon filter by putting it in direct sunlight. If the smell persists, replace the filter.
The appliance is very loud.	The appliance is operating at a high speed, as set in manual mode. In Auto mode, if the appliance is too loud, it may be operating at high speed, because poor air quality has been detected. Switch to lower fan speed. If there is an unusual sound, contact support services. If anything drops into the air outlet, it may also cause an unusual loud sound. Immediately switch off the appliance, turn the appliance upside down, to get foreign objects out of the appliance.
