Best Practices

Try it in the bedroom.
Molekule Air Mini will work in any room, but giving it space in a central location, and on a shelf, stand, or table will help maximize air intake. It’s designed for rooms under 250 sq. ft. We recommend running it in the bedroom, closer to your bed for a clean, sleep-breathing zone.
Run it 24/7.
Constantly clean air is a good thing, plus, your Molekule Air Mini is low energy.
So keep fresh air flowing.

Controls & Interface

Tapping the button cycles through speeds.

PECO-Filter Status

The PECO-Filter status indicator helps you track the replacement schedule for your PECO-Filter.

  • Authentication
    Each time you plug in your device or lock its shell into place, it checks the authenticity of the PECO-Filter. A pulsing white light indicates it’s in progress. A green light indicates it’s confirmed as a certified Molekule PECO- Filter and will run normally. A red light indicates the PECO-Filter has not been verified and the device will not start.

  • Off
    If the PECO-Filter Status Indicator is off, there’s no need to replace your PECO-Filter.

  • Orange
    An orange light indicates your PECO-Filter is nearing recommended replacement time.

  • Red
    A red light indicates your PECO-Filter has reached recommended replacement time. Replace the existing PECO-Filter.

  • Red & white flashing
    Flashing red-and-white lights indicate your PECO-Filter should be replaced immediately because it has exceeded its recommended replacement time. The device will go on standby, the PECO-Filter Status indicator will flash red, and the Fan Speed lights will pulse white as a reminder to replace. You can restart Molekule Air Mini by tapping the center button on top of your device. Molekule Air Mini will repeatedly go on standby after extended use until the PECO-Filter is replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do PECO-Filter auto-refills work?
Molekule Air Mini ships with one PECO-Filter. We offer a PECO-Filter autorefill plan to help ensure you have clean air when you need it. PECO- ilters are automatically shipped to your doorstep.
To start or manage your auto-refill plan, go to Molekule.com
Why does my device come with a bag of activated carbon on top?
To reduce the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air before you’ve had a chance to plug in your new Molekule Air Mini, each new device ships with a small bag of nature’s oldest purifier: activated carbon. Once your device is plugged in, you can reuse the bag. To rejuvenate it, simply leave it outside in direct sunlight for at least an hour once a month. It’ll then be ready to help deodorize your fridge, pet’s room or anywhere else you have odors.
Can Molekule Air Mini connect to WiFi or use an app?
Currently, Air Mini does not connect to WiFi or use the Molekule App, but we’re always exploring future product enhancements. Why is my device’s filter status flashing red and device shutting down?
We understand that our customers lead busy lives and may forget to change the filter, which prevents them from having the cleanest air possible. Once a Molekule Air Mini’s PECO-Filter status indicator flashes red and the Fan Speed indicators flash white, this means the filter is beyond recommended usage and you should immediately replace your PECO-Filter. If you don’t yet have your replacement filter, order it now. In the meantime, you can temporarily restart the device by tapping the center button on the top of the device.
Does Molekule Air Mini emit WiFi signals?
Air Mini has built-in hardware that does emit WiFi signals, although it does not currently connect to a WiFi network. This feature was built to enable your device to be future-ready for potential enhancements.
Why is my device unresponsive, and the PECO-Filter Status indicator pulsing red?
Something has triggered a fatal error. Unfortunately, your device is no longer operational. Please contact Molekule Customer Support from 8am-5pm PT, seven days a week at +1 855-999-9069 to see if your device is under warranty and how to get a replacement unit.
Why won’t my device power on?
If you touch the device button and the lights or fan don’t turn on, follow these recommended steps:

  • Make sure the device is plugged into a working outlet.
  • Make sure the PECO-Filter inside the device is unwrapped.
  • Make sure your PECO-Filter has been verified by inserting it into the device, twisting the device shell closed, and waiting for the PECO-Filter Status light to turn green.

Safety Precautions & Warnings
Never place any objects on top of the unit. Do not place the unit directly below a shelf or other objects that might hinder the exiting air flow. Never cover vents while the unit is running. Avoid dropping the device or placing the device on an uneven or potentially unstable location. To help ensure stable placement of the device and limit risk of tipping, only place on stable, flat floor surfaces and make sure the cord is fully clipped into the cord holder. Do not insert or drop any foreign objects or liquids into the device. If either happens, immediately unplug the device and contact Molekule Customer Support (help.molekule.com). If the device is responding to external communication, resulting in unwanted or unexpected behavior, unplug the device and contact Molekule Customer Support regarding the integrity of your account.Do not alter, clean or tinker with the PECO-Filter. Changes or damage to the PECO-Filter may interfere with proper operation. The LEDs in your Molekule Air Mini are meant to last the lifetime of the product. Do not attempt to repair or replace these LEDs without explicit instruction and approval from Molekule. Do not clean the device with any liquid cleaning agents or water. These items pose a fire, electric shock, or injury risk. The device should only be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not operate any device with a damaged power cord or plug. Contact Molekule Customer Support for examination and/or repair. Do not run the power cord under carpeting or cover the cord with throw rugs, runners or similar coverings. Do not route the cord under furniture or appliances. Keep the cord away from high-traffic areas to avoid a tripping hazard.
This appliance may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the 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.
