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 risk 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 |

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. | • 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 alchohol.
• 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 drop 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.

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

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.
