ABOUT THE FILTER
The air purifier uses a 3-stage filtration system to purify air.
A. Nylon Pre-Filter
- Captures large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur.
- Maximizes the filter’s life by protecting it.
B. H13 True HEPA Filter
- Captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns (µm) in size.
- Filters small particles such as fine dust, smoke particles, and allergens such as pollen and pet dander.
C. High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter
- Physically adsorbs smoke, odors, and fumes.
- Filters compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia hydrogen sulfide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Note: Levoit air purifiers filter airborne particles 0.3 microns in size. Arovast Corporation makes no claims that this air purifier helps reduce the COVID-19 virus.
Clean Air Delivery Rate
This air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 118 cubic feet per minute (CFM), or 200.6 m³/h.
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) measures the efficiency of an air purifier by indicating the volume of clean air that it produces per minute. This is based on removal of dust, pollen, and smoke, which are the 3 most common indoor air pollutants. The higher the CADR, the more particles the air purifier will remove and the larger the area it can clean. The rating is measured at the air purifier’s highest speed.
Air Change per Hour
The air change rate is how many times all of the air in a room can be purified (or “changed”) by the air purifier in 1 hour. Air changes per hour are calculated on the recommended room size, assuming 8 ft / 2.4 m ceilings. For smaller rooms, the air change per hour will increase. This air purifier has an air change per hour of 5, which means it can change air 5 times per hour at the max speed in a single, closed room up to 183 ft² / 17 m². The air purifier is effective for larger rooms, but air purification will take longer, with fewer air changes per hour.
Note: To effectively clean air, keep windows and doors closed while the air purifier is on.
Humidity
Moisture may damage the filters. This air purifier should be used in an area with a humidity level below 85% RH. If you use the air purifier in excessively humid areas, the surface of the filter will become moldy.
Note: Water or moisture will allow mold to grow. To solve a mold problem, get rid of the source of the moisture and clean up the mold.
Essential Oils
Do not add essential oils to the air purifier or filter. The filter will become damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Do not use diffusers near the air purifier.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Smart Air Purifier
- Unplug before cleaning.
- Wipe the outside of the air purifier with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe the housing with a damp cloth, then immediately dry.
- Vacuum the inside of the air purifier.
- Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or flammable cleaning agents.
Check Filter Indicator
It will light up as a reminder to check the filter. Depending on how often you use the air purifier, the indicator should turn on within 6–8 months. You may not need to replace your filter yet, but you should check it when turns on.
Cleaning the Filter
The outer pre-filter should be cleaned every 2–4 weeks to increase efficiency and extend the life of your filter. Clean the pre-filter using a soft brush or vacuum hose to remove hair, dust, and large particles. Do not clean the filter with water or other liquids. [Figure 3.1]
Resetting the Check Filter Indicator
Reset the Check Filter Indicator when:
A. lights up red.
- Replace the filter (see page 13).
- Turn on the air purifier.
- Press and hold for 3 seconds will blink 3 times and turn off once successfully reset.
B. The filter was changed before lit up.
- Press and hold for 3 seconds will blink 3 times and turn off once successfully reset.
Note: You can also reset the Check Filter Indicator in the VeSync app.
When Should I Replace the Filter?
Check the VeSync app to see your remaining filter life.
The filter should be replaced every 6–8 months. You may need to replace your filter sooner or later depending on how often you use your air purifier. Using your air purifier in an environment with relatively high pollution may mean you will need to replace the filter more often, even if is off.
You may need to replace your filter if you notice:
• Increased noise when the air purifier is on
• Decreased airflow
• Unusual odors
• A visibly clogged filter
Note:
• To maintain the performance of your air purifier, only use official Levoit filters. To buy replacement filters, visit Levoit’s online store. Go to levoit.com for more information.
• Remember to reset after changing the filter (see page 12).
Replacing the Filter
- Unplug the air purifier. Flip the air purifier over and remove the filter cover (see Getting Started).
- Remove the old filter.
- Clean out any remaining dust or hair inside the air purifier using a vacuum hose. Do not use water or liquids to clean the air purifier. [Figure 3.2]
- Unwrap the new filter and place it into the housing (see Getting Started).
- Replace the cover. Plug in the air purifier.
- Reset the Check Filter Indicator (see page 12).
Storage
If not using the air purifier for an extended period of time, wrap both the air purifier and the filter in plastic packaging and store in a dry place to avoid moisture damage.
