4 Using the air purifier
Understanding the air quality light
The air quality light automatically goes
on when the air purier is switched on,
and lights up all colors in sequence.
After approximately 30 seconds, the
particle sensor selects the color that
corresponds to the surrounding air
quality of airborne particles.
The color of the air quality light is
determined by the highest index among PM2.5 and IAI readings.
PM2.5
AeraSense sensing technology accurately
detects and quickly responds to even
the slightest particle change in the air. It
provides you with reassurance with real-
time PM2.5 feedback.
Most of the indoor air pollutants fall
under PM2.5 – which refers to airborne
particle pollutants smaller than
2.5micrometers. Common indoor sources of ne particles are tobacco smoke,
cooking, burning candles. Some airborne bacteria and the smallest mold spores,
pet allergen and dust mite allergen particles also fall under PM2.5.
IAI
The professional-grade AeraSense sensor
detects the level of indoor air allergen and
with numerical feedback from 1 to 12 the
potential risk level of indoor air allergens can be
displayed. 1 indicates best air quality.
Turningonando
Note:
• For optimum purication performance, close doors and windows.
• Keep curtains away from the air inlet or air outlet.

7 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 appliance does
not work properly.
• The lter replacement alert has been on continuously
but you have not replaced the corresponding lter. As a
result, the appliance is now locked. In this case, replace the
lter and long touch and to reset the lter lifetime
counter.
The airow that
comes out of
the air outlet
is signicantly
weaker than
before.
• The surface of the lter is dirty. Clean the surface of the
lter (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).
The air quality
does not improve,
even though the
appliance has been
operating for a
long time�
• Check if the packing material is removed from the lter.
• The lter has not been placed in the appliance. Make sure
that the lter (FY1700/30) 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 purication performance, please close the
doors and windows when operating the air purier.
• There are indoor pollution resources. For instances,
smoking, cooking, incense, perfume or alcohol.
• Filter reaches the end of life. Replace the lter with a new
one�

16 EN
Problem Possible solution
The color of the air
quality light always
stays the same.
• The particle sensor is dirty. Clean the particle sensor (see
the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).
The appliance
produces a strange
smell.
• The rst 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 lters, contact
your Philips dealer or an authorized Philips service
center. The lter may produce smell after being used for
a while because of the absorption of indoor gases. It’s
recommended that you reactivate the lter by putting it in
direct sunlight for repeated use. If odor still exists, replace
the lter.
The appliance is
extra loud.
• It's normal if the appliance runs at the Turbo mode.
• In the Auto mode, if the appliance is too loud, maybe the
appliance runs at high speed because air quality becomes
worse. You can choose the Sleep mode.
• If there is abnormal sound, contact the Consumer Care
Center in your country.
• If anything drops into air outlet, it may also cause
abnormal loud sound. Immediate turn o appliance, turn
appliance upside down, to get foreign objectives out of
appliance�
The appliance still
indicates that I
need to replace a
lter, but I already
did.
• Perhaps you did not reset the lter lifetime counter. Switch
on the appliance. Then touch and hold the and for
3seconds.
Error code “E1”
displays on the
screen.
• The motor has malfunctions. Contact the Consumer Care
Center in your country.
