Why is my Electrolux Air Cleaner running at max fan speed?
The Electrolux Air Cleaner's PM sensor is highly accurate. It's normal for the purifier to react to poor air quality by increasing fan speed. If it is in MANUAL mode, adjust the fan speed using the slider on the control panel or in the Electrolux App. If it is in SMART mode, check the air quality indicator. If PM values are constantly at 999-1000, the sensor may be clogged. Clean the sensor as described in section 23.
What to do if Electrolux Air Cleaner is running but air quality does not improve?
If your Electrolux Air Cleaner is in a room larger than recommended, it will take longer to improve air quality. Be patient and keep the unit at the highest feasible speed. If in SMART mode, monitor air quality levels in the Electrolux App for 20 minutes. If there's no improvement, switch to MANUAL mode and increase the fan speed. If there is still no improvement, close any open doors or windows and run the unit at the highest fan speed for 20 minutes.

This is normal if your air quality is very good. If in MANUAL mode, check the fan speed on the product control panel display or within the Electrolux App and adjust it to the desired level. If the PM2.5 value is high, check the filter change icon on the product control panel or within the Electrolux App and replace the filter if lit.
