Troubleshooting Guide: How to Reset the Filter Indicator Light
One of the most common indicators of an issue with your Breville air purifier is the filter indicator light. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and reset the light manually:

- Remove the Filter: Open the front panel and carefully remove the filter. Be cautious, as dust may have accumulated.
- Clean the Filter: If it’s reusable, wash it according to the manufacturer's instructions. If not, consider a replacement.
- Reset the Indicator: With the filter removed, hold the reset button (if applicable) or press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds until you see the light reset.
- Reinstall the Filter: Once the light has reset, replace the filter securely and close the front panel.
- Power On: Plug the unit back in and turn it on. Check to see if the red light has turned off.
If the red light persists despite following these troubleshooting steps, it may indicate a deeper issue that requires professional assessment.
