4 Using the air purifier
Understanding the air quality light
The air quality light automatically goes
on when the air purier is switched on,
and lights up all colors in sequence.
After approximately 30 seconds, the
particle sensor selects the color that
corresponds to the surrounding air
quality of airborne particles.
The color of the air quality light is
determined by the highest index among PM2.5 and IAI readings.
PM2.5
AeraSense sensing technology accurately
detects and quickly responds to even
the slightest particle change in the air. It
provides you with reassurance with real-
time PM2.5 feedback.
Most of the indoor air pollutants fall
under PM2.5 – which refers to airborne
particle pollutants smaller than
2.5micrometers. Common indoor sources of ne particles are tobacco smoke,
cooking, burning candles. Some airborne bacteria and the smallest mold spores,
pet allergen and dust mite allergen particles also fall under PM2.5.
IAI
The professional-grade AeraSense sensor
detects the level of indoor air allergen and
with numerical feedback from 1 to 12 the
potential risk level of indoor air allergens can be
displayed. 1 indicates best air quality.

7 Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with
the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below,
contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
Problem Possible solution
The appliance does
not work properly.

The lter replacement alert has been on continuously
but you have not replaced the corresponding lter. As a
result, the appliance is now locked. In this case, replace the
lter and long touch and to reset the lter lifetime
counter.
The airow that
comes out of
the air outlet
is signicantly
weaker than
before.
•
The surface of the lter is dirty. Clean the surface of the
lter (see the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).
16 EN
Problem Possible solution
The air quality
does not improve,
even though the
appliance has been
operating for a
long time�
•
Check if the packing material is removed from the lter.
•
The lter has not been placed in the appliance. Make sure
that the lter (FY1700/30) is properly installed.
•
The particle sensor is wet. The humidity level in your room
is high and causes condensation. Make sure that the
particle sensor is clean and dry (see the chapter “Cleaning
and maintenance”).
•
Room size is large or the outdoor air quality is poor.
For optimum purication performance, please close the
doors and windows when operating the air purier.
•
There are indoor pollution resources. For instances,
smoking, cooking, incense, perfume or alcohol.
•
Filter reaches the end of life. Replace the lter with a new
one�
The color of the air
quality light always
stays the same.
•
The particle sensor is dirty. Clean the particle sensor (see
the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).
The appliance
produces a strange
smell.
•
The rst few times you use the appliance, it may produce
a plastic smell. This is normal. However, if the appliance
produces a burnt smell even if removing lters, contact
your Philips dealer or an authorized Philips service
center. The lter may produce smell after being used for
a while because of the absorption of indoor gases. It’s
recommended that you reactivate the lter by putting it in
direct sunlight for repeated use. If odor still exists, replace
the lter.
The appliance is
extra loud.
•
It's normal if the appliance runs at the Turbo mode.
•
In the Auto mode, if the appliance is too loud, maybe the
appliance runs at high speed because air quality becomes
worse, or your personalized setting in App triggers a
higher fan speed. You can choose the Sleep mode, or
change the settings in the App.
•
If there is abnormal sound, contact the Consumer Care
Center in your country.
•
If anything drops into air outlet, it may also cause
abnormal loud sound. Immediate turn o appliance, turn
appliance upside down, to get foreign objectives out of
appliance�
17EN

The motor has malfunctions. Contact the Consumer Care
Center in your country.
The Wi-Fi setup is
not successful.
•
If the router your purier is connected to is dual – band
and currently it is not connecting to a 2.4GHz network,
please switch to another band of the same router (2.4GHz)
and try to pair your purier again. 5GHz networks are not
supported.
•
Web authentication networks are not supported.
