When one of the filters is almost full and has to be cleaned or replaced, the corresponding light or lights (the pre-filter cleaning light or one of the filter replacement lights together with the ‘REPLACE FILTER’ light) start to flash.You then have to clean or replace this filter.

This air purifier is also equipped with the Healthy air protect lock to ensure that the filters are in optimal condition when the appliance is operating. When you do not replace filter 2 (AC4004 only), filter 3 and/or filter 4, the appliance stops operating and the appliance is locked. When the appliance is locked, the filter replacement light of the filter concerned and the ’REPLACE FILTER’ light light up continuously.
