• Do not use the air purifier outdoors.
• Keep the air purifier away from
water, and wet or damp areas.
Never place in water or liquid.
• Do not use in excessively humid
areas.
• Keep the air purifier away from heat
sources.
• Do not use where combustible
gases, vapors, metallic dust,
aerosol (spray) products, or fumes
from industrial oil are present.

near the air purifier.
• Do not place anything into any
opening on the air purifier, unless
directed by the manual.
• Do not sit on or place heavy
objects on the air purifier.
• Keep the inside of the air purifier
dry. To prevent moisture buildup,
avoid placing in rooms with
major temperature changes or
underneath air conditioners.
• Always unplug the air purifier
before servicing (such as changing
the filters).
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other injury, follow all instructions and
safety guidelines.
General Safety
• Do not use the air purifier if it is
damaged or not working correctly,
or if the cord or plug is damaged.
Do not try to repair it yourself.

ABOUT THE FILTERS
A. Fine Preliminary Filter
• Captures large particles such as
dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur.
• Maximizes the life of the True
HEPA Filter by protecting it.
B. H13 True HEPA Filter
• Captures at least 99.97% of
airborne particles 0.3 microns (µm)
in size.
• Traps small particles such as
fine dust, smoke particles, and
allergens such as pollen and pet
dander.
C. High-Eciency Activated Carbon Filter
• Physically adsorbs smoke, odors,
and fumes.
• Filters compounds such as
formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia,
hydrogen sulfide, and volatile
organic compounds (VOCs).
This air purifier uses a 3-stage filtration
system to purify air.
Clean Air Delivery Rate
This air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate of
135 cubic feet per minute (CFM), or 230 m³/h.
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) measures
the eciency of an air purifier by indicating
the volume of clean air that an air purifier
produces per minute. This is based on
removal of dust, pollen, and smoke, which
are the 3 most common indoor air pollutants.
The higher the CADR, the more particles the
air purifier will remove and the larger the area
it can clean. The rating is measured at the air
purifier’s highest speed.
Air Change Per Hour
The air change rate is how many times all of the
air in a room can be purified (or “changed”) by
the air purifier in 1 hour. Air changes per hour
are calculated on the recommended room
size assuming 8 ft / 2.4 m ceilings. For smaller
rooms, the air change per hour will increase.
This air purifier has an air change per hour of
3, which means it can change air 3 times at the
max speed in a single, closed room up to
360 ft² / 33 m² in size. The air purifier is
eective for larger rooms, but air purification will
take longer, with fewer air changes per hour.
Note: To eectively clean air, keep windows
and doors closed while the air purier is on.
Humidity
Essential Oils
Moisture may damage the filters. This air
purifier should be used in an area with a
humidity level below 85% RH. If you use the
air purifier in excessively humid areas, the
surface of the filters will become moldy.
Note: Water or moisture will allow mold to
grow. To solve a mold problem, get rid of the
source of the moisture and clean up
the mold.
Do not add essential oils to the air purifier or
filter. The filters will become damaged by the oil
and will eventually release an unpleasant smell.
Do not use oil diusers near the air purifier.
Note: Levoit air puriers lter airborne
particles 0.3 microns in size. Arovast
Corporation makes no claims that this air
purier helps reduce the COVID-19 virus.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Check Filter Indicator
Cleaning the Filters
Cleaning the Air Purifier
The Check Filter Indicator will light up as a
reminder to check the air filters. Depending on
how often you use the air purifier, the indicator

check them when the indicator light turns on.
Reset the Check Filter Indicator by pressing the
black Filter Indicator Reset Button in the vent
on the side of the air purifier (see page 11).
A. The Fine Preliminary Filter should be
cleaned once a month to increase
eciency and extend the life of your
filter. Clean the Fine Preliminary Filter
using a brush or vacuum hose to
remove hair, dust, and large particles.
B. Do not clean the True HEPA Filter. Fine
dust may be released back into the air
if cleaning is attempted. Only clean the
Fine Preliminary Filter.
C. The Activated Carbon Filter does not
require cleaning.
• Unplug before cleaning.
• Wipe the outside of the air purifier with
a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe
the housing with a damp cloth, then
immediately dry.
• Vacuum the inside of the air purifier.
• Do not clean with water or any other
liquid, to avoid risk of electric shock.
• Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or
flammable cleaning agents.

When Should I Replace the
Filters?
The filters should be replaced every 6-8
months. You may need to replace your filters
earlier or later depending on how often you
use your air purifier. Using your air purifier in
an environment with relatively high pollution
may mean you will need to change the filters
more often (even if the Check Filter Indicator
is o).
You may need to replace your filters if you
notice:
• Increased noise when the air purifier is on
• Decreased airflow
• Unusual odors
• Visibly clogged filters
Note: To maintain the performance of
your air purier, only use ocial Levoit
lters. To buy replacement lters, visit
Levoit’s online store. Go to levoit.com
for more information.
