Why does my air purifier produce an unpleasant smell?

1. The smell can be reduced by exposing the filter to the sun.

 

2. During the initial few days, new air purifiers produce a plastic smell which is normal and will dissipate eventually.

 

3. Do not add essential oils or diffusers into the air purifier or use it in an excessively humid area. Humidity will cause mold to grow.

 

4. If the filter has absorbed pollutants to its maximum capacity, then the smell may come from the dirty filter. Please replace the filter when necessary.
