How to clean philips air purifier filter, and remaining cleaning icon.

Find out here when and how you should clean or replace the pre-filter, the filters and the quality sensor of your Philips Air Purifier.

When to clean the filters

The filters (A and B in the image above) are not washable nor vacuum cleanable. These filters need to be replaced. Please check your manual to see the replacement indications for your specific purifier model.
When to replace the filters

When the filters (A and B in the image above) become dirty, they need to be replaced.

Replace the multi-care filter, the activated carbon filter, and the HEPA filter when the respective indicators light up. Please check the user manual since every specific purifier will indicate this in a different way (e.g. some purifiers indicate this with a C7 indicator and other models indicate it with 2 ,3 or 4).
When to clean the air quality sensor

The air quality sensor (D in the image above) should be cleaned every two months.

Please, check the cleaning instructions for your specific Air Purifier in your user manual.

If you use your Philips Air Purifier in a dusty or high humidity environment, then please clean it more frequently.
When to clean the pre-filter

Your Philips Air Purifier’s pre-filter (C in the image shown above) is washable and should be cleaned every month to ensure its optimal functioning.

You should clean the pre-filter when F0 is displayed on your air purifier’s display.

To clean the pre-filter, please follow these steps:

Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the wall outlet.
Pull the bottom part of the panel (located at the front or at the back of your purifier, depending on your specific model) and remove it from the appliance (see image below).
Press the two clips down and pull the pre-filter towards you.
Wash the pre-filter under a running tap. If the pre-filter is very dirty, use a soft brush to brush away the dust.
Air dry the pre-filter until it is completely dry.

Thank you for the video. I have been using my device for 5 weeks now but noticed 3 days ago it's producing a sound even though it's turned off, however, plugged in. If I am using it with a sleeping mode I can hear it, before it was really silent.

Great video. Thank you very much. Quick question about F0 message. This is not for the roller filter cleaning process? I think normal air filters needs to be cleaned every week but when F0 appears then the roller filter used for humidifier need to be placed in water with white vinegar for 2 hours, then rinse, let it dry then put it back. Please correct me if I am wrong! :) thanks

Philips clearly saying you can’t use vacuum cleaner to clean your filters, they advise you to use water to clean first filter when F0 appears and brush when you clean carbon filter when A3 appears

Why didn't you clean the compartment where the water tank goes? It gets super dirty.

Thank you for the video! i have problem with the rest for the prefilter it's still on 0 days

my carbon filter is dusty after cleaning the outer filter.should i vaccum it or leave it as it is until a3 signs appears which means i have to change the carbon filter to a new one.Will dust on the carbon filter affect the performance?

If you vacuum machine doesn’t have hepa filter, you basically omitted all hepa size particule in hepa filter to your house. Don’t use vacuum machine for that. Don’t clean hepa filter. Just clean pre filter .

Can you teach me how to connect to wifi? I forgot it because i stopped using it for a year now. Thanks

[DenFreedom]

For filter error F0 reset — hold the button with clock icon for 3 sec.

Does anyone know a way to clean inside the device? I’m referring to the dust buildup which is visible through the above grid? Driving me crazy 😖

[heavensworld]

We have this and I’m curious to now that when I clean this machine, can I clean it with water or any liquids?

[pyntia]

Have you had an issue with Wi-Fi? After first configuration it worked fine, I could see all info in the app, but then accidently it stops connecting, so I can't remotely control the purifier.

Hi I just bought this am I meant to fill the water tank up or do I take the water out?

[UPPERKEES]

Don't follow the advice here. There are logos on the filter saying you cannot use a vacuum cleaner.

[tehnician]

Does your air purifier blow the air uniform upwards or does it blow more powerful on one side ? Thx !
