VeSync App Features

The VeSync app allows you to access additional smart air fryer functions, including those listed below.

Remote Control 

• All smart air fryer functions can be controlled remotely, except for starting cooking (to comply with UL safety regulations).

Air Quality Updates 

• View real-time PM2.5 updates in the app.
• See your air quality history for the last four weeks.

Light Detection

• Access Light Detection, which uses the light sensor to detect the amount of light in the room and automatically adjusts air purifier settings.

Timer Function

• Set a timer between 1–24 hours.
• Easily view the exact time remaining on a timer.

Filter Replacement Info

• Keep tabs on the remaining filter life by checking the filter life percentage in the app.
• Shop for replacement filters.

Auto Mode

• Access additional auto modes: Quiet Auto Mode, Efficient Auto Mode, and ECO Auto Mode.
• Quiet Auto Mode only uses low and medium fan speeds, even when the air quality is poor, to avoid making too much noise.
• Efficient Auto Mode lets you choose the size of the area you want to purify. The air purifier will use the highest fan speed (turbo) to clean the air for a designated amount of time. This time is based on 1 ACH and the size of the room, meaning how long it takes for the air purifier to clean all the air in your room one time, regardless of the air quality. After this, the mode will adjust the fan speed according to the actual detected air quality in the room.
  Note: Efficient Auto Mode is useful for purifying odors from the air. The air purifier’s sensor can only detect particles in the air, not smells. Efficient Auto Mode does not rely only on the sensor, but also the room size.
• ECO Auto Mode allows the fan speed to turn on/off intermittently when air quality is Very Good, to save electricity. When air quality is poor, the fan speed will be increased like standard Auto Mode.

ABOUT THE FILTERS

This air purifier uses a 3-stage filtration system to purify air.

1. A. Pre-Filter 
   • Captures large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur.
   • Maximizes the filter’s life by protecting it.
2. 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.
3. 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:
Levoit air purifiers filter airborne particles 0.3 microns in size. Arovast Corporation makes no claims that this air purifier helps reduce the COVID-19 virus.

Clean Air Delivery Rate
This air purifier has a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 410 cubic feet per minute (CFM), or 697 m³/h. 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 the 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 with the recommended room size assuming 8 ft / 2.4 m ceilings. For smaller rooms, the air change per hour will increase. This air purifier can change air 5 times per hour at the max speed in a single, closed room up to 635 ft² / 59 m². This is measured at 5 ACH. The air purifier is effective for larger rooms, but air purification will take longer, with fewer air changes per hour. For example, the air purifier’s effective range is 1588 ft² / 147 m² based on 2 ACH, or purifying the air in the room 2 times 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 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.

Essential Oils
Do not add essential oils to the air purifier or filter. The filter will become damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Do not use diffusers near the air purifier.

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

The Check Filter Indicator will light up as a reminder to check the filters. Depending on how often you use the air purifier, the indicator should turn on at about 6–8 months. You may not need to change your filters yet, but you should check them when the indicator light turns on. When your air purifier is set up with the VeSync app, you can also check the app to see your remaining filter life. You will also receive a notification from VeSync when it’s time to check your filter.

The VeSync app uses a scientific algorithm to determine your filter life based on air quality, amount of use, and other factors. This will provide a more accurate estimate than the Check Filter Indicator. The VeSync filter life percentage is based on 12 hours of daily use. Reset the Check Filter Indicator by pressing the black Filter Indicator Reset Button in the vent on the side of the air purifier.

Replacing the Filters

1. Unplug the air purifier, then remove the filter cover.
2. Remove the old filters.
3. 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.
4. Unwrap the new filters. Place the HighEfficiency Activated Carbon Filter inside the housing. Make sure the pull tabs are facing out.
5. Install the Fine Preliminary/True HEPA Combination Filter into the housing. Make sure the pull tabs are facing out.
6. Replace the filter cover. The air purifier will not turn on unless the filter cover is replaced correctly.
7. Reset the Check Filter Indicator

When Should I Replace the Filter?
The filter should be replaced every 6–8 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 change the filter more often, even ifis off. You may need to replace your filter if you notice:

• Increased noise when the air purifier is on
• Decreased airflow
• Unusual odor rs
• A visibly clogged filter

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.
• Remember to resetafter changing the filter.
