Symptoms

Solution

The appliance
does not
operate.

• Charge the battery.
• Make sure that the ambient temperature is not

excessively high or low.

• Use an adapter of 1.8 A or higher.

Fan is noisy even
on the lowest
speed.

• Thoroughly clean the ultra-fine filter.
• Replace the filter.

The indoor air is
not purified well
enough.

• Ventilate the indoor air before you use the product.
• Clean the ultra-fine filter properly.
• Replace the filter.
• Use a product that fits the size of the room.
• Avoid a well-ventilated place such as a gate, window,

etc.

• Remove the obstacle.
• Move the appliance and install it again.

The light of air
quality continues
to stay red.

• If the amount of particles is more than the capacity of

the product, the display may not change.

• Turn the product off and on by pressing the Start/Stop

button.

• Do not use spray near the product.

The
concentration of
particles may
not change.

In a closed space, the cleanliness level may continue to
stay the same without change.

The
concentration of
particles
continues to
remain high.

In an environment or open space where outside air is
supplied continuously, the concentration may continue to
remain high.

A strange odour
comes out from
the air outlet as
well as the filter.

• In a place with a lot of smoke or odour, the air cleaning

function may deteriorate. Ventilate the room first and
then use the product.

• Replace the filter. The filter replacement frequency may

differ depending on the usage environment.

Bluetooth pairing
cannot be done.

• Shut down the Bluetooth setting on the smartphone,

and then try again.

• Make sure that the Bluetooth setting is turned on.
• Keep clear of obstacles between the product and the

smart phone.

• Depending on the type of smartphone or the

surrounding environment, Bluetooth pairing may not
work well.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION

• Do not wipe the appliance surface using sulfuric acid,

hydrochloric acid or organic solvent (thinner, kerosene etc.) or
attach a sticker on the appliance.

• Do not allow the water enter inside the appliance.

CAUTION

• Do not store the appliance on the dashboard of a vehicle. Doing

so may cause explosion, fire or performance degradation as
direct sunlight may increase temperature.

SMART FUNCTIONS

Using the air quality monitoring function

You can execute the Puricare Mini app and set the time to turn
on the particles sensor through the product management menu.

- Turns On with Product

- Always On: Monitor the air quality even when product

operation is suspended

NOTE

• The concentration of particles could be affected by cooking or

using humidifiers, sprays or other products which generate
steam or fine particles.

• Even two products placed in the same space could measure

the concentration of particles differently due to air circulation.

• The concentration of the particles displayed may change with

environmental factors such as the presence of sofas, beds,
carpets, vacuum cleaners, humidity, smoke, bugs, pets or
cooking oils.

• The PM concentration may be affected by changes in the

outside environment such as construction, heavy traffic or
pollen.

• The concentration of the particles could be higher near outside

doors, windows, vents or in areas where outside air enters. Air
flow near the particles sensor may interrupt normal operation
of the particles sensor and indicated concentration may be
different from actual particles concentration, accordingly.

• Be careful as the battery may be discharged rapidly when the

air quality monitoring function is used.

• PM (particulate matter) concentration is displayed in

increments of 1 unit, from 8 to 999. PM concentration values
are based on the data sheet provided by the sensor
manufacturer.

• The PM concentration measurement was tested using LG

Electronics’ standard test materials.
