The Air Quality Sensor measures the ambient air quality. When Auto Mode is activated, the appliance automatically utilizes the Air Quality Sensor to select the most appropriate fan speed for the measured air quality in the room. To turn on Auto Mode, press the Auto Mode Button (the Auto light will illuminate) If the air quality in the room is Good (Green indicator light), the appliance will operate at a low fan speed. If the air quality is Excellent (Blue indicator light), the fan may completely stop running. The appliance will automatically adjust the fan speed according to detected changes in the air quality. NOTE: When the humidity level in the room is very high, it is possible that condensation can develop on the Air Quality Sensor on the side of the appliance. This may cause the O2+ Source to believe the air quality is lower and cause the fan speed to operate at a higher level. If the room has very high humidity, you may prefer to run the appliance in Fan Speed Mode rather than Auto Mode.

If the appliance is operating in either Auto Mode or Fan Speed Mode, you can press the Eco Mode Button. Eco Mode automatically turns the fan speed to the lowest setting to conserve energy.

If the Source is in AUTO mode and the room has been dark for 3 minutes, the appliance will automatically switch into Night Mode. In Night Mode, the air quality indicator and control lights will turn off and the fan speed and noise level are reduced.
