FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - AC4084 PHILIPS

Comment installer les filtres pour la première fois ?

Retirez tous les filtres de l'appareil, enlevez les emballages, puis replacez-les dans l'ordre : filtre HEPA, filtre à charbon actif, filtre multi-care (optionnel) et pré-filtre. Assurez-vous que les étiquettes sont visibles et que les crochets du pré-filtre sont bien fixés.

Que signifie la couleur de la lumière de qualité d'air ?

La lumière indique : bleu = bonne qualité, violet = moyenne, rouge = mauvaise. Elle s'ajuste automatiquement selon les mesures du capteur.

Comment régler l'humidité souhaitée ?

En mode AUTO, appuyez plusieurs fois sur le bouton HUMIDITY SET pour choisir 40 %, 50 % ou 60 %. Le voyant correspondant s'allume. L'humidificateur maintient ce niveau.

Que faire si le voyant de remplissage d'eau clignote ?

Le voyant REFILL WATER clignote quand le réservoir est vide. Retirez le réservoir, dévissez le bouchon, remplissez d'eau froide du robinet, revissez et replacez. La purification seule continue sans eau.

Comment nettoyer le pré-filtre et le filtre d'humidification ?

Éteignez et débranchez l'appareil. Retirez le pré-filtre et lavez-le sous l'eau courante (brosse douce si encrassé). Séchez-le complètement. Pour le filtre d'humidification, rincez-le à l'eau claire chaque semaine et détartrez-le au vinaigre blanc dilué quand le voyant 1/5 clignote.

Pourquoi l'appareil ne fonctionne-t-il pas alors qu'il est allumé ?

Le plateau du filtre d'humidification peut être mal inséré. Retirez le réservoir d'eau, puis le plateau, replacez-le correctement. Si le problème persiste, vérifiez que le panneau avant est bien fermé.

Comment réinitialiser le compteur de durée de vie des filtres ?

Après avoir remplacé un filtre, branchez l'appareil, allumez-le, puis maintenez enfoncé le bouton RESET pendant 2 secondes. Le voyant correspondant s'éteint.

L'air ne sort pas de la sortie d'air, que faire ?

Vérifiez que l'appareil est branché et allumé. Assurez-vous que le panneau avant est correctement fermé. Si le problème persiste, nettoyez le pré-filtre et vérifiez que tous les emballages des filtres ont été retirés.

Comment ajuster la sensibilité du capteur de qualité d'air ?

Allumez l'appareil, puis appuyez simultanément sur les boutons SPEED et HUMIDITY SET. La vitesse de ventilateur clignotante indique le niveau actuel. Appuyez sur SPEED pour changer (SILENT = extra sensible, ~ = sensible, ≈ = standard). Confirmez en appuyant de nouveau sur les deux boutons.

10 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.	The filter replacement light has been on continuously but you did not replace the corresponding filter, it is now locked. In this case, replace the filter and reset the filter time.Make sure that the front panel is closed properly.
The appliance does not work even though it is switched on.	The humidification filter tray is not placed properly. In this case the appliance does not work and the CURRENT HUMIDITY lights (30%, 40%, 50% or 60%) flash. Switch off the appliance. Remove the water bucket and then remove and slide the humidification filter tray back to the appliance. Then switch on the appliance and try again.
The water bucket leaks.	It is normal that the cap of the water bucket is slightly wet when you remove it from the appliance. However, if water drops keep dripping from the bottom of the water bucket, check if the cap has been screwed onto the water bucket tightly. If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
The water level in the water bucket drops very quickly after I empty the humidification filter tray.	This is normal. The water in the water bucket is used to fill the humidification filter tray the humidification filter also absorbs some of the water.
I do not see the current humidity indication change.	Make sure that you have put the humidification filter in the humidification filter tray.The humidification filter is dirty. Rinse and/or descale the humidification filter (see the chapter 'Clean the pre-filter and humidification filter', section 'Clean the humidification filter').Make sure that both the PURIFIER and HUMIDIFIER lights are on.
There are some white deposits on the humidification filter.	The white deposits are called scale and they consist of minerals from the water. Scale on the humidification filter affects the humidifying performance. Therefore you have to descale the humidification filter when the filter light 1 / 5 flashes (See the chapter 'Clean the pre-filter and humidification', section "Clean the humidification filter").
No air comes out of the air outlet.	Plug the appliance into the power supply and switch on.
The fan speed does not change when the silent mode is activated.	In silent mode, the fan speed is set to a very low level. If you want to change the fan speed and leave the silent mode, press the SPEED button once or more times to set the desired fan speed.
The airflow that comes out of the air outlet is significantly weaker than before.	The pre-filter is dirty. Clean the pre-filter (see the chapter 'Clean your appliance', section "Clean the pre-filter and humidification filter").Make sure that you have removed all packaging material from the filters.
The air quality does not improve, even though the appliance has been operating for a long time.	One of the filters has not been placed in the appliance. Make sure that all filters are properly installed in the following order, starting with the innermost filter: 1) HEPA filter, 2) activated carbon filter, 3) multi-care filter (if available), and 4) pre-filter.The air quality sensor is wet. The humidity level in your room is high and causes condensation. Make sure that the air quality sensor is clean and dry (see the chapter 'Clean your appliance', section "Clean the air quality sensor and air humidity sensor').
The color of the air quality light always stays the same.	The air quality sensor is dirty. Clean the air quality sensor (see the chapter "Clean your appliance", section 'Clean the air quality sensor and air humidity sensor' under).There is not enough ventilation in the room. Open a window, to improve the air circulation.
I do not see water vapor coming out of the appliance. Is it working?	When water vapor is very fine, it is invisible. This appliance has a specially designed humidification filter that produces very fine water vapor. Therefore, you cannot see the water vapor.
I want to check whether the air humidity sensor works or not.	Remove the cover of the air quality/humidity sensors and then gently blow moist air into the opening. After a while, the CURRENT HUMIDITY indication changes. Note that if the initial CURRENT HUMIDITY indication is already 60%, the indication cannot show an even higher humidity when you blow moist air towards the sensor.
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, contact your Philips dealer or an authorized Philips service centre. The appliance may also produce an unpleasant smell when one of the filters is dirty. In this case, clean or replace the filter concerned.
I need cleaner air because I have an allergy.	You can change the air quality sensor sensitivity (see the chapter ‘Use the appliance, section ‘Set the sensitivity of the air quality sensor’) to make the appliance clean the air even better.
The appliance is extra loud.	· You have not removed all packaging material from the filters. Make sure that you have removed all packaging material.· You can change the fan speed to lower fan speed level.
The appliance still indicates that I need to replace a filter, but I already did.	Perhaps you did not press the RESET button properly. Plug in the appliance, press the ⏻ button to switch on and press the RESET button for two seconds.
