Touch the ' ' icon to switch between modes. In AUTO mode, the device adjusts the speed according to air quality. In SLEEP mode, it operates silently and all indicators (except the SLEEP icon) turn off.

What to do if the purifier does not turn on?

First check that the power cord is properly inserted into the device and the wall outlet. Then, open the bottom of the device, readjust the filter to the center, close correctly and lock. If the problem persists, contact an AEG authorized repairer.
