Troubleshooting Guide
Before you consider replacing your unit, let's troubleshoot some common issues:

- Continue holding the button for about 5 seconds until the light turns off.
- Release the button and turn the unit back on.
2. Dusty Air and Bad Smells
If you notice an increase in dust or unpleasant odors despite using your air purifier, it may be time for a filter replacement. Ensure that the filters are clean and properly installed. If the filters appear dirty, replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Increased Noise Levels
Unusual noise can be a sign of a malfunctioning motor or clogged filters. Check if the filters are installed correctly and clean any debris from the unit’s exterior. If the noise persists, it may be beneficial to consult a professional technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this void my warranty?
Using compatible replacement parts typically does not void your warranty, but it’s always best to check your warranty terms and conditions for specific details.

The lifespan of a HEPA filter can vary, but generally, you should expect to replace it every six months for optimal performance. Keep an eye on the indicator light as a reminder.
What is the difference between True HEPA and HEPA-type filters?
True HEPA filters are certified to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, making them highly effective for allergens and pollutants.
