- Keep the cord out of areas where people walk often. Place the cord where it will not be tripped over.
- This appliance 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.

GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT:
- The AC power adapter comes stored inside the air purifier.
- You must remove the plastic from the filter before using it.
- Remove all packaging, including any tape on the aroma box.
- Rotate the top half of the air purifier counterclockwise and remove it from the bottom half. [Figure 1.1]
- Remove the filter and AC power adapter from inside the air purifier. Remove all plastic packaging from the filter. Place the filter back into the air purifier. [Figure 1.2]
- Place the top half of the air purifier directly back onto the bottom half of the air purifier. Rotate clockwise to secure both halves in place. [Figure 1.3]
- Connect the AC power adapter to the air purifier. Plug into an outlet.
- To allow air to circulate freely in and out of the air purifier, there should ideally be 15 inches / 38 cm of clearance on all sides of the air purifier. [Figure 1.4]
USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER
WARNING:
Make sure the air outlet and the air inlets are not blocked. This may cause the air purifier to overheat and stop working.
- Tap the Control Button to turn on the air purifier.
- Optionally, press the Control Button repeatedly to change fan speed between I, II, and III, and to turn the air purifier off.
Note:
The display lights will automatically turn off after 60 seconds of inactivity.
Essential Oils
Do not add essential oils to the filter or the fan. The filter will be damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Only add essential oils to the aroma pad, located in the aroma box near the top of the air purifier.
Adding Essential Oils
- Push in the aroma box and pull it out.
- Add 5–7 drops of essential oil to the aroma pad.
- Place the aroma box back into the air purifier.
Note:
Do not mix essential oil blends. Clean the aroma pad before using a new essential oil blend.
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 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.
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, fibers, hair, and pet fur.
- Maximizes 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 fine dust, smoke particles, and allergens such as pollen and pet dander.
- C. Custom High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter
- Physically adsorbs smoke, odors, and fumes.
- Customized using Levoit’s exclusive ARC Formula™ to be especially effective for cooking smells and pet odors in a multi-pet household.
- The ARC Formula extends the life of the filter by chemically decomposing molecules trapped within the Activated Carbon Filter, which prevents oversaturation and secondhand pollution.
- Filters compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Note:
Arovast Corporation makes no claims that this air purifier helps reduce the COVID-19 virus.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Smart Air Purifier
- Unplug before cleaning.
Note: Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or flammable cleaning agents. - Wipe the outside of the air purifier with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth, then immediately dry.
- Vacuum the inside of the air purifier using a vacuum hose with a crevice attachment. [Figure 2.1]
Check Filter Indicator
will light up as a reminder to check the filter. If you use your air purifier consistently (24 hours of daily use), the indicator should turn on after about 6–12 months. You may not need to change your filter yet, but you should check it when
Cleaning the Filter
The outer pre-filter should be cleaned every 2–4 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.
Filter | When to Clean | How to Clean | When to Replace |
Pre-Filter | Every 2–4 weeks | Use a soft brush or vacuum hose [Figure 3.1] |
6–8 months |
True HEPA & Activated Carbon Filter | Do not clean |
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
- Unplug the air purifier. Flip the air purifier over and remove the filter cover.
- Remove the old filters.
- 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.
- Unwrap the new filters and place them into the housing.
- Replace the cover and plug in the air purifier.
- Reset the Check Filter Indicator.
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 them in a dry place to avoid moisture damage.
