SAFETY INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other injury, follow all instructions and safety guidelines.
General Safety
- Only use your air purifier as described in this manual.
- Do not use without removing the plastic wrap from the filters. The air purifier will not filter air, and may overheat, causing a fire hazard.
- Do not use your air purifier if it is damaged or not working correctly, or if the cord or plug is damaged. Do not try to repair it yourself. Contact Customer Support (see page page 15).
- Do not use your air purifier outdoors.
- Keep your air purifier away from water, and wet or damp areas. Never place in water or other liquids.
- Do not use in excessively humid areas.
- Keep the inside of the air purifier dry. To prevent moisture buildup, avoid placing in rooms with major temperature changes or underneath air conditioners.
- Keep your air purifier away from heat sources.
- Do not use where combustible gases, vapours, metallic dust, aerosol (spray) products, or fumes from industrial oil are present.
- Keep 1.5 m / 5 ft away from where oxygen is being administered.
- Do not place anything into any opening on the air purifier, unless directed by the manual.
- Do not sit or place heavy objects on the air purifier.
- Always unplug your air purifier before servicing (such as changing filters).
- Do not add essential oils to the filters. The filters will be damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Only add essential oils (not included) to the aroma box at the top of the air purifier.
- This air purifier can be used by children 8 years and older as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the air purifier in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
- Children should not play with the air purifier.
- Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children without supervision.
- WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this air purifier with any solid-state speed controls (such as a dimmer switch).
- Not for commercial use. Household use only.
Power Adapter & Cord
- Keep air purifier near the outlet it is plugged into.
- Never place the cord near any heat source.
- Do not cover the cord with a rug, carpet, or other covering. Do not place the cord under furniture or appliances.
- Keep the cord out of areas where people walk often. Place the cord where it will not be tripped over.

About the Filters
Your Levoit Desktop True HEPA Air Purifier uses 2 filters, both of which use a 3-stage air filtration system to purify air.
A. Fine Preliminary Filter (Pre-Filter)
- Captures large particles such as dust, lint, fibres, hair, and pet fur.
- Maximises the life of the True HEPA Filter by protecting it.
B. H13 True HEPA Filter
- Captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns (µm) in size.
- Traps small particles such as mould spores, fine dust, smoke particles, bacteria and viruses*, and allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.
C. Activated Carbon Filter
- Physically adsorbs smoke, odours, and fumes.
*The H13 True HEPA Filter can remove most viruses and bacteria from the air, but cannot fully remove them from your environment. Air purifiers cannot prevent an infected person from spreading an infection, and cannot remove bacteria and viruses from surfaces. Please use this air purifier together with other precautions.
GETTING STARTED
1. Flip over the air purifier. Twist the cover lock clockwise and lift
the filter cover off of the air purifier. [Figure 1.1]
2. Take out the filters and remove the filters from their plastic
packaging. [Figure 1.2]
Figure 1.1
Figure 1.2
3. Place the filters back into the air purifier. The Pre-Filter must be
facing outward and the Activated Carbon Filter must be facing inward for both
filters. Make sure the pull tabs are visible and facing inward. [Figure
1.3]
4. Replace the filter cover. Twist the cover lock counter-clockwise to
secure the cover.
5. Place your air purifier on a flat, stable surface with the air outlet
facing up. Leave 38 cm / 15 inches of clearance on all sides of the air
purifier.
6. Connect the AC power adapter to the air purifier. Plug into an outlet.
Pull tabs facing inward

USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER
WARNING: Make sure the air outlet and the air inlets are not blocked. This may cause the air purifier to overheat and stop working.
1. Press the Control Button to turn on the air purifier. The fan will start on “SLEEP”.
Note:
- Sleep Mode uses the lowest possible fan speed for a quiet environment.
- In Sleep Mode, the display lights will automatically turn off after 5 seconds. Press the Control Button again to turn the display lights back on for 5 seconds.
2. Optionally, press the Control Button repeatedly to change fan speed (“SLEEP”, “LOW”, and “HIGH”), and to turn the air purifier off.
Note:
- “HIGH” is the loudest fan speed, but cleans air the quickest.
- For best results, or to address a specific air quality issue such as smoke, run the air purifier on “HIGH” for 15-20 minutes before using a lower speed.
- To effectively clean air, keep windows and doors closed while the air purifier is on.
Essential Oils
Do not add essential oils to the filters or the fan. The filters will be damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Only add essential oils to the aroma box at the top of the air purifier.
Note: Essential oils are not included.
Adding Essential Oils
- Remove the aroma box cap.
- Add 2-3 drops of the essential oil to the aroma pad.
- Replace the cap.
Note: Do not mix essential oil blends. Clean the aroma pad before using a new essential oil blend (see Cleaning the Aroma Pad , page 11).
Clean Air Delivery Rate
This air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 75 cubic meters per hour.
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) measures the efficiency of an air purifier by indicating the volume of clean air that an air purifier produces. This is based on the removal of dust, pollen, and smoke, which are the 3 most common indoor air pollutants. The higher the CADR, the more particles the air purifier will remove and the larger the area it can clean. The rating is measured at the air purifier’s highest speed.
Air Change Per Hour
The air change rate (ACH) is how many times all of the air in a room can be purified (or “changed”) by the air purifier in 1 hour. Air changes per hour are calculated on the recommended room size assuming 2.4 m / 8 ft ceilings. For smaller rooms, the air change per hour will increase. This air purifier has an air change per hour of 2, which means it can change air 2 times at the max speed in a single, closed room up to 15 m² / 161 ft². The air purifier is effective for larger rooms, but air purification will take longer, with fewer air changes per hour.
Note: To effectively clean air, keep windows and doors closed while the air purifier is on.
Humidity
Moisture may damage the filters. This air purifier should be used in an area with a humidity level below 85% RH. If you use the air purifier in excessively humid areas, the surface of the filters will become mouldy.
Note: Water or moisture will allow mould to grow. To solve a mould problem, get rid of the source of the moisture and clean up the mould. Air purifiers cannot solve an existing mould problem, only remove airborne mould spores and reduce odours.
Air Purifier Placement
For highest efficiency of air purification, make sure that airflow isn’t obstructed. To allow air to circulate freely in and out of the air purifier, there should ideally be 38 cm / 15 inches of clearance on all sides of the air purifier. Avoid placing too near a corner or too close to a wall. Keep away from curtains and anything that might block airflow.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Air Purifier
Note:
- For best performance, clean every 1-2 months.
- WARNING: Do not disassemble the air purifier, such as by removing any screws. Only remove the filter cover and replace filters as directed.
- Do not clean with detergents or soap, as this may cause damage or discolouration. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or flammable cleaning agents.
1. Unplug before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside of the air purifier with a soft, dry cloth. If
necessary, also wipe with a damp cloth, then immediately dry.
3. Vacuum the inside of the air purifier using a vacuum hose with a
crevice attachment. [Figure 2.1]
Figure 2.1
Cleaning the Filters
The Pre-Filters should be cleaned about once a month to increase the efficiency and extend the life of your filters. Clean the outside of the Pre- Filter using a soft brush or a vacuum hose with a soft brush attachment to remove hair, dust, and large particles. Do not clean any part of the filters with water or other liquids.
Filter | When to Clean | When to Replace |
---|---|---|
Pre-Filters | Every 2–4 weeks | 6–8 months |
H13 True HEPA & Activated Carbon Filters | Do not clean |
Check Filter Indicator Light
The Control Button will light up red as a reminder to check the filters. Depending on how often you use the air purifier, the indicator should turn on within 6-8 months. You may not need to replace your filters yet, but you should check them when the Control Button lights up red.
Resetting the Check Filter Indicator
Reset the indicator light when:
A. The Control Button lights up red.
- Replace the filters (see Replacing the Filters , page 12).
- With the air purifier plugged in and the fan turned off, press and hold the Control Button for 3 seconds.
- The red light will turn off when successfully reset.
B. The filters were changed before the Control Button lit up red.

Cleaning the Aroma Pad
For effective aromatherapy, the aroma pad should always be cleaned before using a new essential oil blend. Do not mix essential oil blends.
To clean:
- Remove the aroma box cap.
- Remove the aroma pad and rinse under warm, running water.
- Dry with a clean cloth and place it back into the aroma box.
Note: Do not pour liquid cleaners or detergents into the aroma pad or box.
When Should I Replace the Filters?
You should replace your filters every 6-8 months. You may need to change your filters sooner or later depending on how often you use your air purifier. Using your air purifier in an environment with relatively high pollution may mean you will need to change the filters more often, even if the red indicator light is off.
You may need to replace your filters if you notice:
- Increased noise when the air purifier is on
- Decreased airflow
- Unusual odours
- Visibly clogged filters
To maintain the performance of your air purifier, only use official Levoit
filters. To buy replacement filters, go to Amazon and search
