Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the installation and maintenance of the LEVOIT LV-PUR131 Replacement Filter. This genuine filter is designed specifically for the LEVOIT LV-PUR131 Air Purifier to ensure optimal performance and air quality.
The filter system consists of a 3-stage filtration process:
- Fine Preliminary Filter: Traps large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, and pet fur.
- True HEPA Filter: Captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometers in size, including fine dust, smoke particles, pollen, and pet dander.
- High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter: Absorbs odors from pets, cooking, smoke, and harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The activated carbon in the filter is made from responsibly sourced, FSC-certified wood.
Using genuine LEVOIT filters is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your air purifier. Non-genuine filters may lead to reduced air quality, delayed filter replacement indicators, and potential damage to the purifier motor.
