Replace the filter cover on the air purifier. Line up the arrow on the filter cover with the arrow labeled “OPEN”. Then, twist the cover clockwise until the arrow on the cover lines up with the arrow labeled “LOCK”. The cover should lock in place.[Figure 1.4]
Place the air purifier on a flat, stable surface with the display facing up. Leave at least 15 inches / 38 cm of clearance on all sides of the air purifier. [Figure 1.5]

USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER

Plug in and tap ” Power” to turn on the air purifier. The air purifier fan will start automatically.
Optionally, tap “Fan” to change fan speed.
Note:
• For best results, or to address a specific air quality issue such as smoke, run the air purifier at maximum speed (level 3) for 15–20 minutes before using a lower speed.
• To effectively clean air, keep windows and doors closed while the air purifier is on.
Tap “Power” to turn off the air purifier.

Memory Function
When the air purifier is plugged in, it will remember its programmed settings for the fan speed and night light when turned off. The air purifier will resume these settings when turned back on.

ABOUT THE FILTERS

This air purifier uses a 3-stage filtration system to purify the air.

A. 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. High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter

Physically adsorbs smoke, odors, and fumes.
Filters compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

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.

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.

Essential Oils
Do not add essential oils to the air purifier or filter. The filters will become damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Do not use oil diffusers near the air purifier.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Air Purifier

Unplug before cleaning.
Wipe the outside of the air purifier with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe the housing with a damp cloth, then immediately dry.
Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or flammable cleaning agents.

Check Filter Indicator
The Check Filter Indicator will light up as a reminder to check the filters. Depending on how much you use the air purifier, the indicator should turn on within 6–8 months. You may not need to change your filters yet, but you should check them when the indicator light turns on.

Resetting the Check Filter Indicator

Cleaning the Filters

A. The Pre-Filter should be cleaned once a month to increase efficiency and extend the life of your filters. Clean the Pre-Filter using a brush to remove hair, dust, and large particles. Optionally, rinse the Pre-Filter in clean water.
Note: Always make sure the Pre-Filter is completely dry before using, because dampness or moisture will damage the True HEPA Filter.
B. Do not clean the True HEPA Combination Filter. Fine dust or bacteria may be released back into the air if cleaning is attempted, and the filter will be permanently damaged. Only clean the Pre-Filter. filter

When Should I Replace the Filters?
The filters should be replaced every 6–8 months. You may need to replace your filters earlier 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 Check Filter Indicator is off).
You may need to replace your filters if you notice:

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

Note: To maintain the performance of your air purifier, only use official Levoit filters. To buy replacement filters, visit Levoit’s online store. Go to levoit.com for more information.

Replacing the Filters

1. Unplug the air purifier. Flip the air purifier over and remove the filter cover (see page 8).
2. Remove the old filters.
3. Clean any remaining dust or hair inside the air purifier using a vacuum hose. Do not use water or liquids to clean the air purifier.
4. Unwrap the new filters and place them into the housing (see page 6).
5. Replace the cover and plug in the air purifier.
6. Reset the Check Filter Indicator (see page 10).

Storage: If not using the air purifier for an extended period of time, wrap both the air purifier and the filters in plastic packaging and store in a dry place to avoid moisture damage.
