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 the air purifier outdoors.
Keep the air purifier away from water, and wet or damp areas. Never place in water or liquid.
Do not use in excessively humid areas
Keep the 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.
Supervise children when they are near the air purifier.
Do not place anything into any opening on the air purifier.
Do not sit on or place heavy objects on the air purifier.
Keep the inside of the air purifier dry. To prevent moisture buildup, avoid placing in rooms with major temperature changes or underneath air conditioners.
Always unplug the air purifier before servicing (such as changing filters).
Do not use the 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 15).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this air purifier with solid-state speed controls (such as a dimmer switch).
Not for commercial use. Household use only.

Power

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.
This applicance 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.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Your Levoit air purifier complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER

CONTROLS

GETTING STARTED

Flip over the air purifier. Locate the “OPEN” and “LOCK” labels printed on the bottom of the air purifier, near the power cord inlet.
Twist the filter cover counterclockwise to the “OPEN” position, lining up the arrow on the filter cover with the arrow labeled “OPEN”. [Figures 1.1] Lift the cover off the air purifier.
Remove the filters from their plastic packaging.
Place the True HEPA Combination Filter into the air purifier with the pull tabs facing out. Then, place the Pre-Filter into the air purifier. [Figures 1.2 & 1.3]
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
Reset the Check Filter Indicator when:

lights up.
1. Replace the filters (see page 11).
2. While the air purifier is plugged in and turned on, press and hold for 3 seconds until the air purifier beeps.
3. The light will turn off once it is successfully reset.
The filters were changed before lit up.
1. While the air purifier is plugged in and turned on, press and hold for 3 seconds until the air purifier beeps. This will turn the indicator light on.
2. Press and hold again for 3 seconds until the air purifier beeps.
3. The light will turn off once it is successfully reset.

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.

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.
