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 even
though it is plugged
in.
•The lter replacement light has been ashing but you
have not replaced the NanoProtect lter, and the appliance
is now locked. In this case, replace the lter and reset the
lter lifetime counter.
•The water rell light ashes. Make sure the water tank
is properly installed and there is enough water in the water
tank.
The appliance
does not work even
though it is switched
on.
The appliance is working but the buttons are not responsive.
Check if the child lock is on.
There are some
white deposits on
the NanoCloud
rotary humidication
wick.
The white deposits are called scale and they consist of
minerals from the water. Scale on the NanoCloud rotary
humidication wick aects the humidifying performance,
however it does not harm your health. Follow the cleaning
instructions in the user manual.
No air comes out of
the air outlet. Plug the appliance into the power supply and switch on.
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 the chapter
"Cleaning").
•Make sure that you have removed all packaging material of
the NanoProtect lter.

15EN
English
Problem Possible solution
It takes a long time
to reach the target
humidity level.
NanoCloud technology evenly distributes invisible water
vapour into your room. In dry conditions moisture from the Air
Washer will be absorbed by walls, furniture, and other items in
your room. Ventilation of dry outside air will also increase the
time it takes to reach the target humidity.
I do not see water
vapor coming out of
the appliance. Is it
working?
When mist is very ne, it is invisible. The appliance has a
NanoCloud humidication technology, which produces healthy
humid air from the outlet area without formation of water mist.
Therefore, you cannot see the mist.
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, contact your Philips dealer or an
authorized Philips service centre. The appliance may also
produce an unpleasant smell when one of the lters is dirty. In
this case, clean or replace the lter concerned.
The appliance is
extra loud.
•You have not removed all packaging material of the lters.
Make sure that you have removed all packaging material.
•Change the fan speed to lower fan speed level.
The appliance still
indicates that I need
to replace a lter, but
I already did.
Perhaps you did not touch and hold the reset button
correctly. Plug in the appliance, touch to switch on the
appliance, and touch and hold the reset button for
3 seconds.
