Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your air purifier, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power button has been pressed.
• Reduced airflow or purification: Check if the filter needs replacement. A clogged filter can significantly reduce performance. Ensure air intake and output vents are not obstructed.
• Unusual noise: Verify that the unit is placed on a stable, level surface. Check for any foreign objects inside the unit or around the fan.
• No scent from essential oils: Ensure an essential oil pad is in the tray and that essential oil has been applied.
