Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the air purifier. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem: The appliance does not work even though it is plugged in.

Solution: The filter replacement code has been displaying on the screen but you have not replaced the corresponding filter yet. The appliance will be locked if you keep using the expired filter. In this case, replace the filter and reset the filter lifetime counter.

Problem: The appliance does not work even though it is switched on.

Solution:

  • The appliance is working but the buttons are not responsive. Check if the child lock is on.
  • The filter replacement code has been on continuously but you have not replaced the corresponding filter, and the appliance is now locked. In this case, replace the filter and reset the filter lifetime counter.

Problem: The appliance produces a strange smell.

Solution: The first few times you use the appliance, it may produce a plastic smell. This is normal. However, if the appliance produces a burnt smell, contact your Philips dealer or an authorized Philips service centre. The appliance may also produce an unpleasant smell when the filter is dirty. In this case, clean or replace the filter concerned.
