4 Using the air purifier

Understanding the air quality light

The air quality light automatically goes on when the air purifier is switched on, and lights up all colors in sequence. After approximately 30 seconds, the particle sensor selects the color that corresponds to the surrounding air quality of airborne particles.

The color of the air quality light is determined by the highest index among PM2.5, IAI and Gas readings.

Air quality light color	Air quality level
Blue	Good
Blue-purple	Fair
Purple-red	Poor
Red	Very poor

IAI

The professional-grade AeraSense sensor detects the level of indoor air allergen and with numerical feedback from 1 to 12 the potential risk level of indoor air allergens can be displayed. 1 indicates best air quality.

IAI level	Air quality light color
1-3	Blue
4-6	Blue-purple
7-9	Purple-red
10-12	Red

PM2.5

AeraSense sensing technology accurately detects and quickly responds to even the slightest particle change in the air. It provides you with reassurance with real-time PM2.5 feedback.

Most of the indoor air pollutants

fall under PM2.5 – which refers to airborne particle pollutants smaller than 2.5 micrometers. Common indoor sources of fine particles are tobacco smoke, cooking, burning candles. Some airborne bacteria and the smallest mold spores, pet allergen and dust mite allergen particles also fall under PM2.5.

PM2.5 level	Air quality light color
≤12	Blue
13–35	Blue-purple
36–55	Purple-red
>55	Red

GAS

With an advanced gas sensor, a display ranging from L1 to L4 shows the level change of potential harmful gases (incl. VOC, odor, etc.) detected. L1 indicates best air quality.

Gas level	Air quality light color
L1	Blue
L2	Blue-purple
L3	Purple-red
L4	Red

7 Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem	Possible solution
The appliance does not work properly.	·Check if the back cover is properly installed. ·The filter replacement alert has been on continuously but you have not replaced the corresponding filter. As a result, the appliance is now locked. In this case, replace the filter and long press to reset the filter lifetime counter.
The airflow that comes out of the air outlet is significantly weaker than before.	·The surface of the filter is dirty. Clean the surface of the filter (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).
The air quality does not improve, even though the appliance has been operating for a long time.	·Check if the packing material is removed from the filter. ·The filter has not been placed in the appliance. Make sure that the filter (FY3430/30) is properly installed. ·The particle sensor is wet. The humidity level in your room is high and causes condensation. Make sure that the particle sensor is clean and dry (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”). ·Room size is large or the outdoor air quality is poor. For optimum purification performance, please close the doors and windows when operating the air purifier. ·There are indoor pollution resources. For instances, smoking, cooking, incense, perfume or alcohol. ·Filter reaches the end of life. Replace the filter with a new one.
The color of the air quality light always stays the same.	·The particle sensor is dirty. Clean the particle sensor (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).
The appliance produces a strange smell.	·The first few times you use the appliance, it may produce a plastic smell. This is normal. However, if the appliance produces a burnt smell even if removing filters, contact your Philips dealer or an authorized Philips service center. The filter may produce smell after being used for a while because of the absorption of indoor gases. It's recommended that you reactivate the filter by putting it in direct sunlight for repeated use. If odor still exists, replace the filter.
The appliance is extra loud.	It's normal if the appliance runs at the Turbo mode. In the Auto mode, if the appliance is too loud, maybe the appliance runs at high speed because air quality becomes worse, or your personalized setting in App triggers a higher fan speed. You can choose the Sleep mode, or change the settings in the App. If there is abnormal sound, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country. If anything drops into air outlet, it may also cause abnormal loud sound. Immediate turn off appliance, turn appliance upside down, to get foreign objectives out of appliance.
The appliance still indicates that I need to replace a filter, but I already did.	Perhaps you did not reset the filter lifetime counter. Switch on the appliance. Then touch and hold the reset button (♀) for 3 seconds.
Error code “E1” displays on the screen.	The motor has malfunctions. Contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
The Wi-Fi setup is not successful.	·If the router your purifier is connected to is dual - band and currently it is not connecting to a 2.4GHz network, please switch to another band of the same router (2.4GHz) and try to pair your purifier again. 5GHz networks are not supported. ·Web authentication networks are not supported. ·Check if the purifier is within range of the Wi-Fi router. You can try to locate the air purifier closer to the Wi-Fi router. ·Check if the network name is correct. The network name is case-sensitive. ·Check if the Wi-Fi password is correct. The password is case-sensitive. ·Retry the setup with the instructions in section ‘Set up the Wi-Fi connection when the network has changed’. ·The Wi-Fi connectivity can be interrupted by electromagnetic or other interferences. Keep the appliance away from other electronic devices that may cause interferences. ·Check if the mobile device is in airplane mode. Make sure to have the airplane mode deactivated when connecting to the Wi-Fi network. ·Consult the help section in the App for extensive and up-to-date troubleshooting tips.
