Why does my PHILIPS AC3059 not work properly?

• Check if the back cover is properly installed.

• The filter replacement alert has been on continuously but you have not replaced the corresponding filter. As a result, the appliance is now locked. In this case, replace the filter and long press the filter status/reset button to reset the filter lifetime counter.


Why is the airflow from my PHILIPS AC3059 significantly weaker than before?

The surface of the filter is dirty. Clean the surface of the filter (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).


Why isn’t the air quality improving even though my PHILIPS AC3059 has been operating for a long time?

• Check if the packing material is removed from the filter.

• The filter has not been placed in the appliance. Make sure that the filter (FY3430/30) is properly installed.

• The particle sensor is wet. The humidity level in your room is high and causes condensation. Make sure that the particle sensor is clean and dry (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).

• Room size is large or the outdoor air quality is poor. For optimum purification performance, please close the doors and windows when operating the air purifier.

• There are indoor pollution resources. For instances, smoking, cooking, incense, perfume or alcohol.

• Filter reaches the end of life. Replace the filter with a new one.


Why does the air quality light on my PHILIPS AC3059 always stay the same color?

The particle sensor is dirty. Clean the particle sensor (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).


Why does my PHILIPS AC3059 produce a strange smell?

• The first few times you use the appliance, it may produce a plastic smell. This is normal. However, if the appliance produces a burnt smell even if removing filters, contact your Philips dealer or an authorized Philips service center. The filter may produce a smell after being used for a while because of the absorption of indoor gases. It’s recommended that you reactivate the filter by putting it in direct sunlight for repeated use. If the odor still exists, replace the filter.


Why is my PHILIPS AC3059 extra loud?

• It’s normal if the appliance runs in Turbo mode.

• In Auto mode, if the appliance is too loud, maybe the appliance is running at high speed because air quality has become worse, or your personalized setting in the App triggers a higher fan speed. You can choose Sleep mode or change the settings in the App.

• If anything drops into the air outlet, it may also cause an abnormal loud sound. Immediately turn off the appliance, turn it upside down to get foreign objects out.


My PHILIPS AC3059 still indicates that I need to replace a filter, but I already did. What should I do?

Perhaps you did not reset the filter lifetime counter. Switch on the appliance. Then touch and hold the reset button for 3 seconds.


What does the error code “E1” on my PHILIPS AC3059 mean?

The motor has malfunctions. Contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
