What to Check First

  1. When the PuriCare 360 is running in [Auto] mode, it can be operated in [Boost] mode, depending on the overall cleanliness. (Please check if the Clean Boost is activated.).
  2. → When used in [High/Turbo], as the fan rotation speed (RPM) increases, the motor noise gets louder, and air speed gets faster. Therefore, the air friction noise increases in the air inlets and outlets.
  3. Press the [Wind Speed] or [Wind Power Control (Speed)] button to adjust the wind power manually to either [Mid] or [Low]. You can change it to [Low/Mid/High] with the button.
  4. → When the red lamp lights up due to indoor pollution, the wind speed runs at High, and when it is blue, it runs at Low.
  5. If it is operated continuously for 50 minutes in good overall cleanliness, it adjusts to Mid level for 10 minutes to detect nearby pollution and circulate the air around it.
  6. → Here, the wind speed runs at [Auto], and the wind power can be adjusted.
  7. The noise of wind may be disturbing during your sleep, so please adjust the wind power to [Low].
  8. → The filter is a passage that air moves through.
  9. If a lot of dust accumulates, the air purifying performance can be poor and there can be a loud sound of wind. Use a vacuum cleaner regularly to remove dust.
  10. Use the [e-mail inquiry / phone consultation reservation] menu on the customer support menu of LG Electronics homepage. [Book a visiting service] provides accurate diagnosis and inspection by a professional service manager.
