People with certain health problems
(for example: allergies or asthma) have
a greater need for healthy air. For this
reason, the purier allows you to adjust
the sensitivity of the air quality sensor. If
you set it to higher sensitivity level, the
purier starts cleaning the air at lower
pollution level.
There are 3 sensitivity levels:
• Extra sensitive (default setting)
• Sensitive
• Standard
You can adjust the sensitivity of the air
quality sensor in the following way.
Note
• When it is set to a higher sensitivity,
the purier starts cleaning the air at
lower pollution levels to make the air
even cleaner. Plug the purier before
adjusting the sensitivity of the air
quality sensor.
