Cleaning the air quality sensor box and sensor picture 13)
NOTE: Clean every 1-2 months to maintain the performance of the air quality sensor. Ensure that the air quality sensor is kept clean and unclogged for optimal performance of the unit. It is natural for dust to accumulate in this area, vacuuming of the sensor box inlet grill with a vacuum cleaner that has a narrow nozzle/brush. Cleaning the sensor: Open the sensor box inlet grill with finger and clean the lens, inlet and outlet with wet cotton swab. Use dry cotton swab to remove any excess water from the sensor. After having cleaned the sensor box, we recommend to vacuum clean the filter at the same time. (ref. page 6, picture 13:2) -
The plastic parts of the unit should be cleaned with an oil-free dry cloth. For stains on plastic parts, use a slightly damp soft microfiber cloth to gently rub against the stain. (ref. page 6, picture 14).
-
The area around the air inlet on the bottom of the unit may accumulate more dust than some other parts and hence may require more frequent cleaning to ensure optimal performance. The filter is equipped with a mesh filter and should occasionally be wiped off or cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to avoid loss of performance.
STORAGE -
If you are not planning to use the appliance for a long time, cover it with plastic or return it to its carton.
NOTE: The multi-layer filter can not be washed, it can only be replaced.

TROUBLESHOOTING
When fault indicators show that the system is not operating properly, perform the following check. The table below is only a limited list. For the latest and complete section on troubleshooting, FAQ and error guide please refer to the corresponding section on our website or the Electrolux App.
| ISSUE| TROUBLESHOOTING| NOTES
---|---|---|---
1| The air purifier’s alert icon is lit.| Generally, the unit comes with a
variety of sophisticated sensors, electronics and other electrical components
and if one of these is malfunctioning, you will see the alert icon on the
product control panel light up. For more details on steps to resolve, please
head over to the Electrolux App and check for details whenever you see this
icon lit.| Please have at hand the unit’s PNC and SERIAL number if you need to
contact Electrolux service organisation for support.
2| The air purifier is running at max fan speed all the timefor extended
periods| If in MANUAL mode, please check the fan speed slider on the product
control panel or within Electrolux App and adjust it to desired level.If in
SMART mode, please check air quality indicator on the product control panel or
within Electrolux App– if all PM values are constantly showing 999-1000
without any reduction then most likely the sensor is clogged. Please clean the
sensor as described under section 22 above.| The PM sensor in the unit is
highly accurate and sensitive and it is normal for the purifier to react to
poor air quality by ramping up the fan speed – to get your indoor air quality
back to safe levels.
3| The air purifier is running at lowest fan speed allthe time for extended
periods| If in MANUAL mode, please check the fan speed on the product control
panel display or within Electrolux App and adjust it to desired level.If in
SMART mode, please check air quality indicator on the product control panel or
within Electrolux App– if all PM values are constantly reading very good
without any increase then this is normal behavior for the unit – your air
quality is very good! If the PM2.5 value is high and the unit is still
operating at lowest fan speed, then please check filter change icon on the
product control panel or within Electrolux App andif lit please replace used
filter with a new one, this should resolve the specific fan speed issue.| The
unit is designed so that when a filter is at end of life, it will discourage
usage tillthe filter is replaced, by limiting the fan speed so as not to
reintroduce the captured particulate matter back into the air.
| | If neither of the above steps OR instructions in the Electrolux App help,
please refer to item 9 in the table.|
4| The air purifier producesa loud or abnormal noise| Please ensure that the
plastic bag around the filter has been removed, ensure the air inlet grill and
air outlet grill (top of the unit) are unobstructed and that there is a
clearance of at least 30 cm between the unit and the nearest surface.If
neither of the above steps OR instructions in the Electrolux App help, please
refer to item 10 in the table.| If there is an abnormal noise in your product,
even after checking the steps in the trouble shoot guide, please contact an
Electrolux authorized service center for further support.
5| The air purifier or fan does not operate| Ensure that the unit is receiving
power. If needed, try pushing the power plug firmly into the wall socket to
check if this resolves the issue. Check that the fuse of your home has not
blown or that the circuit breaker has been tripped. Replace fuse or reset
circuit breaker if needed.If neither of the above steps OR instructions in the
Electrolux App help, please refer to item 10 in the table.|
6| The air purifier is running but the air quality does not improve| If in
SMART mode, closely monitor the difference in air quality levels within the
Electrolux App for next 20 minutes – if you do not see any improvement ofthe
air quality values in the Electrolux App during this period then follow the
step below.Change to MANUAL mode and adjust the fan speed to a higher level to
see if this helps resolve the issue.If you still do not see any improvement.
Close any open doors OR windows to the outside of the room and rerun the unit
at the highest fan speed for 20 minutes. If this resolves the issue, we
recommend that you operate the unit in this sealed environment as much as
possible, till the air quality is also at a good level.| If the unit is placed
in a room larger than the recommended size, it will take longer for theair
quality to improve – please be patient and maintain the unit at the highest
feasible speed.
7| The air purifier produces or emits a strange smell| The first time you run
the unit, you may perceive a plastic, glue or paint smell – especially near
the air outlet grill – this is unavoidable in some cases (like the ‘new car
smell’) but should disappear quickly.If you perceive a burning smell, please
disconnect the unit and contact Electrolux authorized service center for
further support.The VOC filter is in the end of life. Please change to a new
filter.| Always ensure that the filters are covered in appropriate packaging
while stored away between uses, and that all parts are dry to avoid smell or
mould build up.
