Top questions about Classic

The firmware of my device is updating. How much time does this take? + -

The app notifies you every time the firmware in your device is being updated.

During the update, you must keep your air purifier connected to the Wi-Fi to have the firmware update complete. It is imperative you do not unplug the air purifier from the wall during any firmware updates.

The update should take a few minutes. Please do not disconnect your unit during the update!

If the update takes longer than a few minutes:

• Ensure your air purifier is within the router range.
• Leave your air purifier ON and connected to the WiFi. Do not unplug the air purifier during the update.
• Limit the number of connected devices or network activity while the update is in progress.
What to do if the air purifier seems to be stuck in the “firmware update” for over 30 minutes?
• Turn off the Wi-Fi network.
• Attempt to connect to a different Wi-Fi network or personal mobile hotspot.
• Upon connecting to a new Wi-Fi network or hotspot, the device will attempt to update again.

What to do if the air quality does not improve with my Classic purifier? + -

• Test the air purifier in a smaller room. Place the air purifier in a small room running at the highest speed with all windows and doors (and ventilation if possible) closed
• Make sure the air purifier you purchase is designed to handle the square footage (square meters) of the space where it's living as closely as possible.
• Make sure the windows and doors are closed.
• Keep the air purifier at least 5 inches away from any wall or furniture and do not obstruct outgoing air vents
• Be sure to run the air purifier 24/7.
• Clean the sensors. If the particle levels are constantly very high, there might be accumulated dust on the sensor, giving a false indication. Vacuum the outside of the air purifier, especially the air inlets, outlets, and the inlet for the air quality sensor. Power off the unit before vacuuming.

Classic purifier is stuck on the high-speed level / Display light is orange or red. + -

Only applicable to Classic (200/400/500/600) series
To resolve this, you will need to clean the sensors on the purifier. See the steps below:

1. On the bottom or side of the machine there is a small 3-inch rectangular panel held in place by a screw, which has two circular groups of holes. The sensors are behind these holes.
2. Do Not unscrew or remove this panel.
3. Clean out the sensors by using a can of compressed air to spray 3-4 second bursts into the holes.

How do I change the filter on a Classic 400 air purifier? + -

Please follow the instructions on your filter.
If the instructions are not clear, please ensure the following:

Particle filter: When you install your filter, the metallic side should be to your right. The air should first go through the metallic side of the filter.
Carbon filter: When you install your filter, the carbon side (black side) should be to your right. The air should first go through the carbon side of the filter.

a. Open the flip-top lid and press the Wi-Fi symbol on the display for three seconds.
