Description

The Levoit Core Mini True HEPA Air Purifier LAP-C161-KUS is designed to provide cleaner air in small spaces. Its True HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander. The pre-filter extends the life of the True HEPA filter by capturing larger particles, such as pet hair and lint. The optional night light with two brightness levels makes it perfect for use in bedrooms, nurseries, or any space where a soft light is desired. With ultra-quiet operation at only 24dB in sleep mode and an energy-efficient design using only 0.8W in sleep mode, this air purifier is both powerful and eco-friendly.

GETTING STARTED

IMPORTANT

The AC power adapter comes stored inside the air purifier.
You must remove the plastic from the filter before using it.

Remove all packaging, including any tape on the aroma box (see page 8).
Rotate the top half of the air puriﬁer counterclockwise and remove it from the bottom half. [Figure 1.1]
Remove the ﬁlter and AC power adapter from inside the air puriﬁer. Remove all plastic packaging from the ﬁlter. Place the ﬁlter back into the air puriﬁer. [Figure 1.2]
Place the top half of the air puriﬁer directly back onto the bottom half of the air puriﬁer. Rotate clockwise to secure both halves in place. [Figure 1.3]
Connect the AC power adapter to the air puriﬁer. Plug into an outlet.
To allow air to circulate freely in and out of the air puriﬁer, there should ideally be 15 inches / 38 cm of clearance on all sides of the air puriﬁer. [Figure 1.4]

USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER

WARNING: Make sure the air outlet and the air inlets are not blocked. This may cause the air purifier to overheat and stop working.

Tap the Control Button to turn on the air puriﬁer.
Optionally, press the Control Button repeatedly to change fan speed between I, II, and III, and to turn the air puriﬁer off. Note: The display lights will automatically turn off after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Essential Oils

Do not add essential oils to the filter or the fan. The ﬁlter will be damaged by the oil and will eventually release an unpleasant smell. Only add essential oils to the aroma pad, located in the aroma box near the top of the air puriﬁer.

Note: Essential oils are not included.

Adding Essential Oils

Push in the aroma box and pull it out.
Add 5–7 drops of essential oil to the aroma pad.
Place the aroma box back into the air purifier.

Note: Do not mix essential oil blends. Clean the aroma pad before using a new essential oil blend (see Cleaning the Aroma Pad, page 8).

Humidity

Moisture may damage the ﬁlter. This air puriﬁer should be used in an area with a humidity level below 85% RH. If you use the air puriﬁer in excessively humid areas, the surface of the ﬁlter may become moldy.

Note: Water or moisture will allow mold to grow. To solve a mold problem, get rid of the source of the moisture and clean up the mold.

About the Filters
