1 The life-expectancy of the filters depends on the usage environment of the air purifier. ± Do not discard the filter case. Replacement filters do not include a new case.

NOTE

  • The effective life of the filters varies depending on the operational environment.
  • The composition of filters can vary by model.
  • Replacement filters can be purchased from a nearby LG service center or online through LG.com.
  • Use only the filters designed and approved by the manufacturer for use with this product.

INSTALLATION

Choosing the Proper Location

  • Place within reach of a power outlet.
  • Make sure air inlet and outlet are free from obstacles.
  • Place on a level, stable surface where air circulates freely.

WARNING This product is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, trailers, or aircraft. Failure to follow this warning can result in product failure.
WARNING This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Tips for Using the Air Purifier

  • Avoid using the air purifier while cooking strong-smelling or fried foods such as fish.
    – The vaporized oil from the cooking may affect the performance and life- expectancy of the filters and the odors may cling to the filter.

  • Do not place the air purifier closer than 3 1/4 ft (1 m) to the bed.
    – The fan speed in sleep mode is low, but it could cause an unwanted draft.

  • Do not place the air purifier in a corner.
    – Avoid surrounding the appliance with furniture and electronic equipment or crowding it into a corner. The air purifier works best when air is free to circulate around it.

  • Please use the table or on the floor.

Initial Installation of Filter
Remove the packaging before installing the filter.

  1. Pull to open the rear panel.
  2. Remove the filter from the appliance.
  3. Remove the filter from its packaging.LG AS401WWA1 Air Purifier - packaging
  4. Insert the filters with the deodorizing filter facing up. Make sure to slide the tabs on the top of the handle into the grooves at the top of the rear panel.
  5. Close the rear panel.
  6. Place the air purifier on a stable, level surface with a clear area around it for air to circulate. CAUTION Remove packaging from the filter before use or the product will not be able to circulate air.

OPERATION

Air Purification
The air purifier cleans and refreshes indoor air.

  1. Press the button to turn on the air purifier.
    • A chime sounds and the PM density display and the fan speed display turn on.

  2. Press the Speed button to select the desired fan speed. • Press the button repeatedly to toggle through the settings: Auto → Low → Medium → High → Turbo → Auto.
    • The default mode is AUTO.
    (The AUTO mode controls fan speed based on the air quality.)
    LG AS401WWA1 Air Purifier - Auto• The sensor takes 30 seconds on initial startup to stabilize and prepare an air quality level reading. After 30 seconds, the indoor air quality and PM density levels are displayed.
    Indoor Air Quality Color Range
    (contaminated) red → orange → yellow → green (clean)

Lighting
Press the Lighting button to turn the air quality indicator light on/off.

PM Indicator Display

  1. Press the Indicator button to check the density of PM10/PM2.5/PM1.0.
    • Pressing the button repeatedly toggles through to check the density of PM10 → PM2.5 → PM1.0 in turn. The selected density displays for 10 seconds before the display reverts to the highest measured PM (particulate matter) level.

  2. Check the dust particle size LED indicators.
    • PM density is displayed based on the dust density result with the highest contamination level.
    For example, if PM10 density is 100 (normal), PM2.5 is 50 (bad), and PM1.0 is 30 (normal), the value for PM2.5 is displayed for PM density.

Air Quality Indicator Light

Overall indoor air quality is displayed as one of four colors depending on the contamination level of PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, and odors.
(contaminated) red → orange → yellow → green (clean)

  • The color that the air quality indicator light displays is based on the worst level among PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, and odor.

Indoor Air Quality Levels

Overall air quality Status Dust density (unit pg/m3) Odor density
PM 10 PM 2.5 PM 1.0 Odor
Red Very Bad Equal or above 255 Equal or above 56

Strong
Weak
Orange| Bad| 155-254| 36-55| 36-55
Yellow| Normal| 55-154| 13-35| 13-35
Green| Good| 0-54| 0-12| 0-12

  • PM density ranges from 8 to 999 in increments of 1. PM density values follow the data sheets provided by the sensor supplier.LG AS401WWA1 Air Purifier - OPERATION
  • In the example above, the PM1.0 density displays at 50 ug/m³ (a bad or orange level) and the dust particle size LED indicator for PM1.0 is lit. This indicates that the PM1.0 level is higher than the PM10 or PM2.5 levels. If all the PM density levels are normal/good and the air quality indicator light is orange/red, the level of odors is very high.

NOTE

  • PM10 and PM2.5 density levels follow standards provided by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
    – The overall air quality level displayed on the product may differ from the level announced by the EPA.

  • The PM density level for PM1.0 is displayed in the same manner as the PM density level for PM2.5 (using standards developed by LG Electronics).

  • The displayed density of PM10 / PM2.5 could differ from the forecast of the EPA and from other measurement devices or products.
    – Indicated dust concentration values can differ from each other depending on the differences in dust measuring methods and also from real dust concentration levels.
    – The assessment of dust density was made against dust used for LG Electronics standards tests.

  • The use of products which generate steam and micro particles (humidifiers, cooling devices, sprayers, etc.) can change the micro dust density.

  • Because the indoor air quality display shows the overall dust and odor level, it could differ from the density value of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1.0.

  • Even in the same space, the PM10 density value could differ from other products due to air circulation.

  • The displayed PM density value could change depending on the installation environment (including the presence of sofas, beds, carpets, vacuum cleaners, humidity, smoke, bugs, oils, and other factors).

  • The displayed density value of PM10/PM2.5/PM1.0 could change depending on the surrounding environment (construction site, roadside, factory, etc.)

  • The density of micro dust could be higher near exit doors, windows, and vents or anywhere where outside air enters.

  • Do not clean the sensor with anything but water. Doing so may cause product failure.

Sleep Timer
Use this to set the air purifier to sleep mode before it turns off automatically.

  1. Press the button to turn on the air purifier.

  2. Press the Sleep Timer set the amount of time in sleep mode until the air purifier automatically turns off.
    • The amount of time in sleep mode can be set by pressing Sleep Timer repeatedly to toggle through the options: 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, disabled (reverts to normal display).
    • For example, if set for two hours the product operates for two hours in sleep mode then automatically turns off.
    Once Sleep Timer is set, only the Sleep Timer LED is lighted. All other lights on the product, including the air quality light, are turned off. The fan is maintained at a low speed to keep noise to a minimum. Once Sleep Timer is set, pressing the Sleep Timer button again displays the set turn off time and wakes the display up.

  3. To disable the Sleep Timer function, press the Sleep Timer button repeatedly until 12 appears in the display. Press once more to disable the function and return the display to normal.

  4. Even though Sleep Timer function, Lock function and Filter Life light can appear on the display.
