4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Instructions

To ensure optimal performance, keep your Awair Element clean. Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the sensors or finish. Ensure the air intake and exhaust vents are free from dust and obstructions.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Connectivity Issues

Device not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. Check that the device is within range of your router. Try restarting your router and the Awair Element.
App not displaying data: Verify that your smartphone has an active internet connection and that the Awair Element is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi. Close and reopen the app.

5.2 Inaccurate Readings

Sudden spikes in VOCs or PM2.5: This can be normal during activities like cooking, cleaning with chemicals, or burning candles. Observe if readings return to normal after the activity ceases.
Consistent unusual readings: Ensure the device is not placed near strong air currents, direct sunlight, or sources of heat/cold. Allow the device to operate for at least 24 hours after initial setup for sensors to stabilize.

5.3 Device Reset

If you experience persistent issues, a factory reset may be necessary. Locate the reset button on the back of the device (often a small pinhole). Use a paperclip to press and hold the button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the display changes or the device restarts. You will then need to re-pair the device with the Awair Home app.
