Memory Function
When the air purifier is plugged in and turned off, it will remember its previous fan speed, Sleep Mode, Auto Mode, Display Lock, and Display Off settings. When the air purifier is unplugged and turned off, it will only remember its previous fan speed, Sleep Mode, and Auto Mode.
Note: The air purifier will remember the last timer setting chosen (112 hours), but it will not automatically resume the timer. You will need to reselect the timer after the air purifier is turned back on.

ABOUT THE FILTER
The air purifier uses a 3-stage filtration system to purify air.
A. Pre-Filter
- Captures large particles such as dust, lint, fibres, hair, and pet fur.
- Maximises the filter’s life by protecting it.
B. H13 True HEPA Filter
- Captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns (µm) in size.
- Traps small particles such as mould spores, fine dust, smoke particles, bacteria and viruses*, and allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.
C. High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter
- Physically adsorbs smoke, odours, and fumes.
- Filters compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
*The H13 True HEPA Filter can remove most viruses and bacteria from the air, but cannot fully remove them from your environment. Air purifiers cannot prevent an infected person from spreading an infection, and cannot remove bacteria and viruses from surfaces. Please use this air purifier together with other precautions.
Clean Air Delivery Rate
This air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 195 m³/h or 115 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) measures the efficiency of an air purifier by indicating the volume of clean air that an air purifier produces per minute. This is based on 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 Change per Hour
The air change rate is how many times all of the air in a room can be purified (or “changed”) by the air purifier in 1 hour. Air changes per hour (ACH) are calculated on the recommended room size assuming 2.4 m / 8 ft ceilings. For smaller rooms, the air change per hour will increase. This air purifier has an air change per hour of 2, which means it can change air 2 times per hour at the max speed in a single, closed room up to 41 m². The air purifier is effective for larger rooms, but air purification will take longer, with fewer air changes per hour.
Note: To effectively clean air, keep windows and doors closed while the air purifier is on.
Humidity
Moisture may damage the filter. 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 filter may become mouldy.
Note: Water or moisture will allow mould to grow. To solve a mould problem, get rid of the source of the moisture and clean up the mold. Air purifiers cannot solve an existing mould problem, and can only remove mould spores and reduce odours.
LEVOIT REPLACEMENT FILTERS
Your air purifier comes with a Levoit True HEPA 3-Stage Original Filter. You can also choose a replacement filter with additional capabilities. Choose the filter best suited to the environment of your home.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Smart 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.
- Vacuum the inside of the air purifier.
- Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or flammable cleaning agents.
Check Filter Indicator
will light up as a reminder to check the filter. You will also receive a notification from VeSync when it’s time to check your filter, and you can view your filter life percentage in the app at any time. Depending on how often you use the air purifier, the indicator should turn on within 68 months. You may not need to replace your filter yet, but you should check it when turns on.
Cleaning the Filter
The outer pre-filter should be cleaned every 24 weeks to increase efficiency and extend the life of your filter. Clean the pre-filter using a soft brush or vacuum hose to remove hair, dust, and large particles. [Figure 3.1] Do not clean the filter with water or other liquids.
Resetting the Check Filter Indicator
Reset the Check Filter Indicator when:
A. lights up red.
- Replace the filter (see page 15).
- Turn on the air purifier.
- Press and hold for 3 seconds.
- will turn off when successfully reset.
B. The filter was changed before lit up.
- Press and hold for 3 seconds.
- The will flash for 3 seconds.
- will turn off when successfully reset.
When Should I Replace the Filter?
The filter should be replaced every 68 months. You may need to replace your filter 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 replace the filter more often, even if is off.
You may need to replace your filter if you notice:
- Increased noise when the air purifier is on
- Decreased airflow
- Unusual odours
- A visibly clogged filter
Note:
- To maintain the performance of your air purifier, only use official Levoit filters. To buy replacement filters, go to Amazon and search B07S8NM4Q9. To find ASINs for upgraded replacement filters, see page 13.
- Remember to reset after changing the filter (see page 14).
Replacing the Filter
- Unplug the air purifier. Flip the air purifier over and remove the filter cover (see Getting Started, page 7).
- Remove the old filter.
- Clean out any remaining dust or hair inside the air purifier using a vacuum hose. Do not use water or liquids to clean the air purifier. [Figure 3.2]
- Unwrap the new filter and place it into the housing (see Getting Started, page 7).
- Replace the cover. Plug in the air purifier. 6. Reset the Check Filter Indicator (see page 14).
Storage
If not using the air purifier for an extended period of time, wrap both the air purifier and the filter in plastic packaging and store in a dry place to avoid moisture damage.
Cleaning the AirSight Plus Laser Dust Sensor
The AirSight Plus Laser Dust Sensor can be blocked by dust, which affects the sensor’s accuracy. Clean the sensor every 3 months. Using your air purifier in an environment with more dust may mean you will need to clean the sensor more often.
- Unplug the air purifier.
- Place the end of a vacuum cleaner over the sensor openings. [Figure 3.3]
- Turn the vacuum on for at least 10 seconds to clean out dust.
TROUBLESHOOTING
VESYNC APP TROUBLESHOOTING
My air purifier isn’t connecting to the VeSync app.
- During the setup process, you must be on a secure 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Confirm that the network is working correctly.
- Make sure the Wi-Fi password you entered is correct.
- There should be no spaces at the beginning or end of the password.
- Test the password by connecting a different electronic device to the router.
- If you’re manually typing in the SSID and password, double check that both are entered correctly.
- Try moving your air purifier closer to the router. Your phone should be as close as possible to your air purifier.
- Your router may need to be at a higher location, away from obstructions.
- Make sure your air purifier and router are away from appliances (such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, electronic devices, etc.) to avoid signal interference.
