It is normal to notice a slight odor upon unboxing and during the initial use of your new air purifier. This is typically due to two factors:
"New Product" Smell:
Like many new electronic appliances, the device may have a faint smell from its packaging and manufacturing process. This is harmless and temporary.
Formaldehyde Decomposition Filter Activation:
Your air purifier is equipped with a specialized filter that catalytically decomposes formaldehyde. When this filter is first exposed to air, its active formula is at its peak state, which may produce a faint, medicinal-like odor. This is a natural and harmless phenomenon that occurs as the formula activates. You can use the device with complete peace of mind.
If you are sensitive to the initial smell, you can accelerate its dissipation by following these steps:
- After unboxing, place the air purifier in a well-ventilated area.
- Turn on the device and select Pet Mode (which runs at the maximum fan speed). Let it operate for 3-5 hours.
- During this time, keep a door or window slightly open to enhance air circulation.
The odor will typically dissipate completely within approximately one week of regular use.
