Using the Air Performer

Understanding the air quality bar

  • The air quality bar automatically goes on when the Air Performer 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 from the indicators: PM2.5 (particles smaller than 2.5 microns), IAI (Indoor Allergen Index) and Gas (VOC, odors, etc.).
  • IAI and Relative Humidity (RH) levels are only available through the app.

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, and 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 Air quality level
≤12 Blue Good
13-35 Blue-purple Fair
36-55 Purple-red Poor
>55 Red Very poor

Gas refers to the level of potential harmful gases (incl. VOC, odors, etc.).

Gas level Air quality light color Air quality level
L1 Blue Good
L2 Blue-purple Fair
L3 Purple-red Poor
L4 Red Very poor

IAI refers to Indoor Allergen Index (only available through the app) 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 the best air quality.

IAI level Air quality light color Air quality level
1-3 Blue Good
4-6 Blue-purple Fair
7-9 Purple-red Poor
10-12 Red Very poor

Problem Possible Solution

The airflow from 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 whether the packaging material is removed from the filter.

•  Check whether the filter is installed in the appliance.

•  Clean the sensor with a vacuum cleaner or a dry cotton swab.

•  The room size is too large, or the outdoor air quality is poor. For optimum purification performance, close the doors and windows when operating the appliance.

•  There are indoor pollution sources. Examples include cigarette smoke, cooking fumes, incense, perfume, and alcohol.

•  The filter has reached its end of life. Replace the filter with a new one.

My appliance is not turning off immediately in heating mode.| •  If the appliance is running in heating mode when you turn it off, it continues working for a few seconds to exhaust the remaining heat.
Problem| Possible solution
