When your air purifier has cleaned the air, it's important that the air remains clean. That's why you should keep windows and doors closed as much as possible. This prevents "polluted" air from entering the room. If you often go in and outside of the house, you take new air particles with you from outside. In this case, you won't notice much of a difference if you use of an air purifier. The air purifier may also make more noise, because it's working hard to clean all the pollutants in the air.

You can easily clean this by wiping a cotton swab over the sensor.

You air purifier cleans the air with filters. These filters need to be replaced after some time. Luckily, you don't need to check the filters on a monthly basis. The display will show a filter code when they need to be replaced. When it does, you have 14 days to purchase new filters. That is because the air purifier locks itself if you don't replace the filters. In the manual, you'll find which filter fits in your air purifier.
