1. STEP 1: Open the rear panel. Put your fingers in both grooves at the top of the rear panel, and then pull it forward.
2. STEP 2: Remove the pre-filter.
3. STEP 3: Remove and discard the protective foam.
4. STEP 4: Remove the deodorization filter.
5. STEP 5: Remove the dust collecting filter.
6. STEP 6: Remove the vinyl packaging from the deodorization filter and the dust collecting filter. Also, remove the black cloth inside the vinyl packaging of the deodorization filter.

Assembling the filters

1. STEP 1: Insert the dust collecting filter. Let the filters sit inside the grooves at the bottom. Check the direction of the filters before inserting.
2. STEP 2: Insert the deodorization filter.
3. STEP 3: Insert the pre-filter. Insert the hooks on the filter into the grooves on the bottom of the product, then slightly push against the unit.
4. STEP 5: Close the rear panel. Insert the hook on the panel first into the groove at the bottom of the unit, then slightly push until it clicks.
5. STEP 6: After replacing the filters, reset the filter alarm. Press and hold the [Filter Reset Button] for 3 seconds or more.

NOTE: When the filters need to be replaced, the filter alarm lights up in red with a beeping sound. In case of filter replacement, replace the filters with new ones, then reset the filter replacement reminder. When the filters have a weak smell, replace them with new ones, and then reset the filter replacement reminder.

NOTE: Keep the windows and doors closed whenever possible while the product is running. Ventilate the air regularly to avoid high concentration of carbon dioxide when you keep the room enclosed for a duration of time. When the filters have a weak smell, regular ventilation also reduces the smell. Remove the protective vinyl that covers the buttons after the product is turned on and the front panel is fully opened.

Using the filters

• If you operate the product without the filters, the purification effect is lowered, and the air flow sound may be abnormally loud during operation.
• You may notice a subtle odor from fresh filters when using your newly purchased air purifier for the first time, which will disappear naturally in about a day.
• The filter cleaning and replacement cycles may vary depending on the operating environment. The filter replacement reminder takes into account the product uptime and lights up when the filters reach the maximum operation time. The frequency of filter cleaning and replacement may vary depending on the operating environment.
• The replacement cycles of the deodorization filter and the dust collecting filter are from 6 months to 1 year when the product operates 24 hours every day. Filter lifespan is related to the air quality in the operating environment. The more polluted the indoor air, the shorter the filter lifespan.
• The Filter replacement reminder will light up when the filter lifespan has been reached.
• Users should replace filters, even if the replacement reminder did not light up, if they are too dirty, causing the fan to slow down, or have picked up a smell that will not go away.
• If you operate the product after it has been unused for 2 weeks or more, or if there is a smell, run a cleaning operation by running the product in a well-ventilated space at the High fan speed for 4 hours or more, or dry the filters in the sunlight for 4 hours or more. This can help remove odors from the filters.
• If the filters smell when you operate the product, it means that it is time to replace them because they are saturated with surrounding odors. Replace the filters with new ones.
• The filters are a consumable part and will not be replaced free of charge even during the free warranty period.
• To purchase new replacement filters, contact a local Samsung Service Center or visit www.samsung.com on the web.

Deodorization filter

The deodorization filter effectively removes daily odors such as bathroom and food odors.

• In a room with persisting odors, using the product after ventilating the room first allows more effective odor control.
• Using the air purifier while cooking food with strong odor may cause smell from the deodorization filter, or reduced filter lifespan and shortened replacement terms.
• Carbon monoxide (CO) is a major harmful gas that cannot be removed by the deodorization filter and is usually introduced from outside.
• Do not wash the deodorization filter while it is still in the Air Purifier. Do not place the Air Purifier in water or in an area where water could spill on the unit.

Dust collecting filter

The dust collecting filter removes fine dust, cigarette smoke particles, and more from the air.

• Do not wash the dust collecting filter while it is still in the Air Purifier. Do not place the Air Purifier in water or in an area where water could spill on the unit.

Operation Features

If you hear a chime sound when you connect the power cord, it means that the power is normally connected.

Turning the power on/off

• Press the [Power Button]. The air purifier turns on with a notification sound and automatically begins operation.
• Sensor preparation begins upon startup with a display indication and continues for 12 seconds. The air quality is then indicated by color and the concentration level.
• Display shows: Cleanliness color indicator (PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, GAS), Concentration display (PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0), Sensor loading display.

The product operates with the front panel open about 30 mm. However, when turning on the power for the first time after connecting the power cord, the front panel opens about 40 mm. Then the front panel closes by about 10 mm and the product starts to operate.

When you turn off the power and turn it back on, the product operates at the last fan speed you used.

Cancel: Press and hold the [Lock Button] for 3 seconds or more. The feature is released after a beep.

Clearing the filter replacement reminder

Use the Filter Reset function to reset the filter replacement reminder after replacing the deodorization filter or the dust collecting filters. The product automatically tells you when to replace them.

• If you hear a beep and the filter replacement indicator lights up in red while the product is running, replace the replacement filters with new ones. Then press and hold the [Filter Reset Button] for 3 seconds or more to reset the filter replacement reminder. A "D-D-Ring" sound is emitted, and the filter replacement indicator blinks twice and disappears.
• If the filter has been replaced and the filter replacement indicator lights up in red, press and hold the [Filter Reset Button] for 3 seconds or more to reset the filter replacement reminder.

Caution: If you reset the filter replacement reminder when the filters are not replaced with new ones or when no filters are installed in the product, filter replacement reminders may not be displayed normally.

NOTE: If the filters need to be replaced, the alert 'Filter' is shown on the display for 10 seconds when the power is turned on.

Checking the air quality

Use the Air quality function to display the cleanliness color indication for PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, or GAS and the concentration for PM10, PM2.5, or PM1.0 on the display.

• By default, both the cleanliness color indicator and the concentration display for PM10, PM2.5, and PM1.0 display the PM10 cleanliness status.
• Each time you press the [Air Quality Button] when the product is running, cleanliness information is displayed in the order of PM10 → PM2.5 → PM1.0 → GAS. PM2.5 cleanliness, PM1.0 cleanliness, and GAS cleanliness are each displayed for 10 seconds if there is no user input, and then PM10 cleanliness automatically continues to be displayed.
• If PM2.5 cleanliness, PM1.0 cleanliness, or GAS cleanliness is worse than PM10 cleanliness, the worst value is displayed. When they are all the same, PM10 cleanliness is displayed.

Air quality levels

PM10, PM2.5 and PM1.0 measurement will be displayed in numbers 05 – 999.

NOTE: When the air quality level remains the same for a specific period of time during operation, all indicators and displays except for the cleanliness color indicators turn off, and the product enters the Energy saving mode. (This does not apply when using the product in Sleep mode.)

The dust concentration may vary depending on the environmental conditions (for example, when the product is near a construction site, road, or fabric sofa, or when a vacuum cleaner is used or bedding and clothes are arranged near the product, etc.).

The following conditions may cause temporarily high readings of PM level:

• When the product is used: near fur rugs or near pet or animal enclosures, clothing stores, or other places prone to high humidity, smoke or other heavy dust pollution.
• When humidifiers, electric pressure cookers, sprayers and such are being used in the same room.
• When the product is used where there is inflow of outside air with dust or other types of air pollution. (e.g. proximity to the building's HVAC or ventilation systems, or loose window frames)

The gas pollution reading can be affected by odorous household items such as air fresheners, deodorants and detergents.

If you are using more than one air purifier in the same room, the dust concentration reading on each unit may not be the same as they affect air circulation. The dust concentration reading may vary depending on the sensor or product being used.

If there is no change in the intensity of gas (odor), it may not be reflected in the gas pollution reading even though you can clearly smell it.

PM levels on the display may differ from the official forecasts.

Nearby electromagnetic waves or electrical noises may cause temporarily high readings of PM level.

If PM10 cleanliness continues to be at the Very Poor level for a specific period of time, the alert 'Alert' is shown on the display. If you see the alert, check the surroundings. The alert is removed when the product is turned off or set to the Sleep mode. If there is any button input, the alert is not displayed for the next 10 minutes.

Before Requesting Service

Check the following before requesting service from the Service Center.

Operation

• The air purifier does not operate. Check the power supply and turn on the air purifier again. Make sure that the power plug is plugged in, and then turn on the air purifier again. If it still does not operate, try a different power outlet. Make sure that the rear panel is closed properly. If you hear a "Ding" sound when you open and then close the rear panel, it is closed properly. Make sure that the front panel is closed properly.

Sound

• The air purifier makes strange noises. If you move the product during operation, it may cause noise. Turn off the power before moving the product. When moving the front panel, it may make a "click" or "rattle" sound depending on the operating environment. These sounds are normal motor noises made during zero calibration when moving the front panel. When the product is operating, a sensor operation sound, such as a hissing sound, may be emitted. When you sleep or want to rest in a quiet environment, select the Sleep mode. When the product operation is ended, the fan may make a hissing sound while it is stopping.
• The air purifier is noisy when I sleep. Check if the fan speed is High. Change the fan speed to Low, or select the Wind-free mode.

Odors

• The air purifier smells strange. Because the air purifier sucks and circulates indoor air, if you use it in a closed space for a long time, odors generated in your home can saturate the filters. Remove the pre-filter, deodorization filter, and dust collecting filter, and then smell them nearby to check whether odors are saturated to them. If saturated, wash or replace them. You will be charged for replacing filters regardless of the remaining warranty. Open the doors and windows, and then operate the product for 3 to 4 hours. If you grill fish or meat or cook with oil, operate the product after most odors have been removed by ventilation, if possible.
• If you operate the product after using an air freshener, a diffuser, a scented candle, or a cleaning agent, or making interior decoration, or replacing wallpaper, odors may be saturated to the filters, making them smell. Ventilate until the odors are completely removed, and then operate the product.
• If you operate the product continuously in a high humidity environment or an environment where moisture supplied by a humidifier is sucked by the filters, they may smell. If the filters smell due to moisture, dry them well in sunlight before using them again.

Pollution level

• The pollution level indicator stays red. (The pollution level indicator does not seem to work) Check the sensors for any foreign substances and clean them if necessary. In the winter season, installing and operating the product for the first time shortly after delivery may cause the pollution level to reach 999 µm³ with the indicator illuminated in red. This is a temporary issue that happens if there is a significant temperature change from outdoor exposure causing condensation inside the unit. In this case, do not be alarmed and continue using the product. The status will be cleared within 1 to 2 hours of operation. The gas sensor reacts to changes in the indoor gas pollution level due to cooking or ventilation, causing the indicator to illuminate in red. When this happens, ventilate the room for 1 to 2 hours. Disconnect the power plug, then put it back after 1 minute. [To reset the sensor]. If the indicator color stays in red after you have followed all the provided instructions and solutions, it may be a sensor issue. In this case, please contact your local Samsung Service Center. When humidifiers, electric pressure cookers, sprayers and such are being used in the same room, the pollution level may be measured as Poor.

Pollution level Display

• The fan speed does not change when the pollution level changes. Set the fan speed to Auto. The fan speed does not change automatically when it is set to Low, Medium, or High, or when the Wind-Free or Sleep mode is running.
• The PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0 levels do not change from Good (05). This may happen when the room is properly sealed and the air is clean. To check if the sensor is functioning, test it by tearing paper by the sensor and/or rub them to create some dust. This will cause the PM levels to change if the sensor is working properly. Dusting off or cleaning the room may not necessarily cause sensor feedback if the dust particles are bigger than PM10, while they are still filtered and removed from the air.
• The PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0 levels are all the same. When the air is clean, you may not see a difference between the PM10, PM2.5 and PM1.0 levels. To check if the sensor is functioning, test it by tearing paper by the sensor and/or rub them to create some dust. This will cause the PM levels to change if the sensor is working properly.

Filter replacement indicator

• The filter replacement indicator is always turned on. Replace the filters with new ones, and then press and hold the [Filter Reset Button] for 3 seconds or more to reset the filter replacement reminder.

Display indications

• Strange indications appear on the display. If any of the indications C103, C154, C162, C163 appears, contact a Samsung Service Center.
