The built-in sensor detects your air quality to give you real-time information. Use the AIR INFO button to switch between display options.

% CLEAN AIR:

Displays the air quality rating:

• Poor: 0%-69%

• Fair: 70%-84%

• Good: 85%-100%

% CLEAN AIR uses particulate matter (PM) air quality standards as determined by the EPA to calculate the rating.

PARTICLE SIZES:

The PM (particulate matter) value is the amount of particulate in your air, measured in micrograms (µg) per cubic meter. Your air purifier measures three particle sizes:

• PM1: Displays the number of PM1-sized particles in your air, including ultra-fine allergens (non-living matter).

• PM2.5: Displays the number of PM2.5-sized particles in your air, including smoke.

• PM10: Displays the number of PM10-sized particles in your air, including dust, and pollen.

The rings on the front display will change color as your air quality changes, allowing you to easily monitor your air quality even when the air purifier is across the room.

GOOD (Blue Ring)

85-100% / 0-25 particles

A blue ring means your air quality is good, with a low level of particle concentration.

FAIR (Amber Ring)

70-84% / 26-80 particles

An amber ring means your air quality is fair, with a moderate level of particle concentration. For better results, increase fan speed or select Auto Mode.

POOR (Red Ring)

0-69% / 81-430+ particles

A red ring means your air quality is poor, with a high level of particle concentration. For better results, increase fan speed or select Auto Mode.

Your air purifier is equipped with 5 fan speed settings. Adjust fan speed to optimize your cleaning performance.

We recommend using this air purifier in Auto Mode. Auto Mode leverages your air purifier’s particle sensor, and this adjusts the fan speed automatically. Higher fan speeds work best for reducing odors and capturing debris most effectively.

We recommend setting up the air purifier in the room of your home where there is the most activity. This will help to clear the air of pollutants and odors as they are introduced.

After 100% clean air is achieved for 5 minutes in Auto Mode, your air purifier will enter Eco Mode. The fan will turn off until a significant number of particles are detected, optimizing your HEPA filter’s life.

To turn off notification sounds, press and hold the Air Info and Child Lock buttons at the same time for two seconds. To reactivate sounds, press and hold both buttons for 2 seconds again.

Your air purifier may have the child lock setting activated. Press and hold the Child Lock button for two seconds to turn this setting on or off.

If your air purifier displays a blue ring, your air quality is good. However, air quality will fluctuate as you introduce pollutants into your home. Activities like smoking, cooking, dusting, or spraying cleaning products can add pollutants to your air. The Clean Sense IQ™ technology tracks this fluctuation in real time and adjusts as it detects particles. To determine if the sensor is working correctly, spray perfume or aerosol cleaning product near the sensor on the back of the air purifier.

If your air quality never reaches 100%, make sure that the HEPA filter is properly installed and that its original plastic packaging has been removed. Activities like smoking, burning candles, running a humidifier, opening windows, and cooking can add more pollutants to your air. Make sure to survey your environment and remove anything that could be causing low air quality.

These easy-to-clean mesh dust filters capture large debris like hair, dust, and lint to protect the 3-layer HEPA filter. Maintenance is required on these mesh dust filters when indicated on the front display.

When the mesh dust filters need maintenance, the front display will show a pulsing red ring along with the text “check dust filters.”

No, the HEPA filter is not washable. Keep filter away from water and dispose of it when it is dirty.

When the Check Dust Filters message appears on the front display, remove the dust filters and inspect them for debris. If maintenance is required, be sure to KEEP THE AIR PURIFIER PLUGGED IN and running, and complete the following steps:

1. LOCATE AND REMOVE MESH DUST FILTERS: Gently slide up the filters to remove them. Check the screens for dust and debris buildup.

2. CLEAN DUST FILTERS: Use a vacuum cleaner on low speed with a soft brush attachment OR a cloth/towel to remove debris from the mesh screens. DO NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners.

3. ADDITIONAL CLEANING (NOT REQUIRED): If additional cleaning is required, rinse the mesh dust filters with room temperature tap water. Be sure to completely dry the screens for 12 hours before reinstalling. DO NOT USE the air purifier when mesh filters are wet.

4. REINSTALL MESH DUST FILTERS: Gently reinsert the mesh dust filters into the slots on the sides of the air purifier. Be sure to push each dust filter into place until it is flush with the air purifier body.

5. RECALIBRATION: Once both mesh dust filters have been cleaned and reinstalled, the air purifier will recalibrate and begin to analyze air quality, indicated by the rotating lights.

Note: To manually reset the Check Dust Filters indicator, press and hold the filter icon on the top control panel for 1.5 seconds.

NOTE: Unplug the air filter whenever doing any cleaning or maintenance (other than checking the mesh dust filters).
