8 Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the
appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact
the Consumer Care Center in your country.
Problem Possible solution
The air purier
does not work
even though it is
plugged in to the
power socket and
switched on.
• Check if the front cover is properly installed.
• The lter replacement code has been displaying on the
screen but you have not replaced the corresponding lter
yet. The appliance will be locked if you keep using the
expired lter. In this case, replace the lter and reset the
lter lifetime counter.
The air purier
does not work
even though it is
switched on.
• The lter replacement indicator has been on continuously
but you have not replaced the corresponding lter, and the
air purier is now locked. In this case, replace the lter and
reset the lter lifetime counter.
The air purier
accidentally powers
o.
• The air purier restarts automatically and goes to the
previous mode when the power resumes.
The airow that
comes out of
the air outlet is
signicantly weaker
than before.
• The pre-lter is dirty. Clean the pre-lter (see chapter
"Cleaning").
The air quality
does not improve,
even though the air
purier has been
operating for a long
time.
• One of the lters has not been placed in the air purier or
the lter is not placed properly. Make sure that all lters are
properly installed in the following order, starting with the
innermost lter:
1) NanoProtect lter Series 3 (FY1410); 2) NanoProtect lter
Active Carbon (FY1413) 3) pre-lter.
• The air quality sensor is wet. Make sure that the air quality
sensor is clean and dry (see chapter "Cleaning").
The color of the air
quality light always
stays the same.
• The air quality sensor is dirty. Clean the air quality sensor
(see chapter "Cleaning").
14 EN

Problem Possible solution
The air purier
produces a
unpleasant smell.
• The lter may produce smell after being used for a while
because of the absorption of indoor air. Remove the lter
and place it where it has direct sunlight and ventilation for
several hours. Re-install and try using it again. If the odor
remains, please replace the lter.
• If the air purier produces a burnt odor, switch OFF and
unplug from the electrical outlet. Contact Consumer Care
Center in your country.
The air purier is
loud.
• If the air purier is too loud, change the fan speed to a
lower fan speed level. When using the air purier in a
bedroom at night, choose the night sensing mode or select
a lower fan speed level.
The air purier still
indicates that I
need to replace a
lter, but I already
did.
• Perhaps you did not reset the lter lifetime counter. Plug
in the air purier, touch to switch on the air purier, and
touch and hold the for 3 seconds.
Error codes "E1",
"E2", "E3" or "E4"
displays on the
screen.
• The appliance has malfunctions. Contact the Consumer
Care Center in your country.
Which app I should
download?
• Download and install the Philips "Clean Home+" app from
the App Store or Google Play.
15EN
English

Problem Possible solution
The Wi-Fi setup is
not successful.
• If the router your purier is connected to is dual – band
and currently it is not connecting to a 2.4GHz network,
please switch to another band of the same router (2.4GHz)
and try to pair your purier again. 5GHz networks are not
supported.
• Web authentication networks are not supported.
• Check if the purier is within range of the Wi-Fi router. You
can try to locate the air purier closer to the Wi-Fi router.
• Check if the network name is correct. The network name is
case-sensitive.
• Check if the Wi-Fi password is correct. The password is
case-sensitive.
• Retry the setup with the instructions in section ‘Set up the
Wi-Fi connection when the network has changed’.
• The Wi-Fi connectivity can be interrupted by electromagnetic
or other interferences. Keep the appliance away from other
electronic devices that may cause interferences.
• Check if the mobile device is in airplane mode. Make sure
to have the airplane mode deactivated when connecting
to the Wi-Fi network.
• Consult the help section in the App for extensive and up-
to-date troubleshooting tips.
