TROUBLESHOOTING
The air purier may operate abnormally not because of the product malfunction but because
of minor causes or the fact that the user is not familiar with the product use. In such a case,
problems can be solved easily even without the help from the service center just by checking
the following. If the problem still persists after you check the following, contact the service
center.
Symptom Check Measures to take
No air is blowing.
• Is the power cord connected? Connect the power cord to an electric
outlet for 120 V~ 60 Hz.
• Is the display part all turned off? Press the power button and then select
the desired function.
• Isn’t the power gone out? Use the air purier after the power
comes back on.
• Is the auto mode indicator turned on?
When the pollution level 1 lasts
continuously for 10 minutes, the product
switches to power saving mode, turning
off the fan automatically.
The airow speed
does not change.
• Isn’t it in manual or silent mode? Set the desired operating mode.
• Isn’t the room dark? When in sleep mode, the airow speed
is xed to the minimum level.
The airow speed is
signicantly weaker than
before.
• Isn’t the lter cleaning or
replacement time passed?
Check the lter cleaning and replacement
cycles and then clean/replace the lter(s)
if necessary.
A bad smell comes out
of the air outlet.
• Isn’t the lter cleaning or
replacement time passed?
Check the lter cleaning and replacement
cycles and then clean/replace the lter(s)
if necessary.
The color of the pollution
level indicator always
stays the same.
•Isn’t there dust on the pollution
sensor’s lens? Clean the lens of the pollution sensor.
• Does the pollution level keep
indicating a high level?
Adjust the sensitivity of the pollution
sensor to Insensitive or standard.
• Does the pollution level keep
indicating a low level?
Adjust the sensitivity of the pollution
sensor to sensitive or standard.
The pollution level
indicator blinks. • Request service or ask our service center.
