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.

• 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, vapors, metallic dust, aerosol (spray) products, or fumes from industrial oil are present.

• Keep 5 ft / 1.5 m 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.

• 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, fibers, hair, and pet fur.
• Maximizes 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.
• Filters small particles such as fine dust, smoke particles, and allergens such as pollen and pet dander.

C. Activated Carbon Filter

• Physically adsorbs smoke, odors, and fumes

Note: Levoit air purifiers filter airborne particles 0.3 microns in size. Arovast Corporation makes no claims that this air purifier helps reduce the COVID-19 virus.

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]

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 15 inches / 38 cm of clearance on all sides of the air purifier.

6. Connect the AC power adapter to the air purifier. Plug into an outlet.

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

1. Remove the aroma box cap.
2. Add 2–3 drops of the essential oil to the aroma pad.
3. Replace the cap.

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 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 15 inches / 38 cm 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.

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 moldy.
Note: Water or moisture will allow mold to grow. To solve a mold problem, get rid of the source of the moisture and clean up the mold.

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 discoloration. 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]

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.

2. Remove the aroma pad and rinse under warm, running water.
3. 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.

• Increased noise when the air purifier is on
• Decreased airflow
• Unusual odors
• Visibly clogged filters

Note: To maintain the performance of Storage your air purifier, only use official Levoit filters. For more information, contact Customer Support
