Troubleshooting
Unusual Odor After Filter Replacement:
Occasionally, a new filter may emit a slight, temporary odor. This is typically due to manufacturing processes and should dissipate within a few hours of operation. To expedite this, operate the air purifier on a high setting in a well-ventilated area for a day or two.
Reduced Airflow or Performance:
- Ensure all filters are installed correctly and the front cover is securely closed.
- Check if the pre-filter (not included in this set, but part of the air purifier) requires cleaning. A clogged pre-filter can restrict airflow.
- Verify that the filter replacement indicator has been reset after installing new filters.
