Understanding pollutant levels
When a pollutant reduces your air quality, its icon appears on screen. In this case, PM10. The coloured bar on the left indicates how much of the pollutant is present, and will continually update as the machine purifies your air.
- GoodWhen the green section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a very low level of the type of pollutant.
- FairWhen the yellow section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a moderate level of the type of pollutant.
- PoorWhen the orange section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a high level of the type of pollutant.
- Very poorWhen the red section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a very high level of the type of pollutant.
- Extremely poorWhen the dark red section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your machine is detecting an extremely high level of the type of pollutant.

Find out how to monitor and replace your combination filter in our video guide.
Receive filter alerts
With your machine connected to the MyDyson™ app, you get a helpful reminder when it’s time to replace the filter.

Replacing the filter
To ensure optimum air purification performance, we recommend replacing your HEPA+K-Carbon filter every 12 months.2 Your Catalytic filter never needs replacing.

Frequently asked questions
The most comfortable humidity level varies depending on the temperature.3 In Auto mode, your machine constantly monitors air quality, automatically adjusting airflow to reach and maintain the most comfortable humidity level.
The HEPA+K-Carbon filter needs to be changed every 12 months, based on 12 hours’ use a day.2
With a full tank, your machine can humidify continuously for up to 36 hours in fan mode 1.
Yes. The machine works as a purifier humidifier fan, or just a purifier fan.
This depends on the water hardness where you live. The machine prompts you to run the cycle once a month in hard water areas. It prompts you less often in softer water areas. You can select your water hardness with the MyDyson™ app.1
No. It has a sensor to detect if it’s out of water. The screen alerts you to refill your water tank when needed.
Yes, an unlimited number of app users can control a single machine. The machine will only ever choose the most recent update. For example, if more than one person was updating the scheduling, the most recent change will be the one the machine progresses with.
Your machine is engineered to purify and humidify single rooms, so you should use it where you spend the majority of your time at home. When placing the machine, make sure there's at least a few feet of clearance on all sides, so that the air can circulate effectively. Place away from radiators, draughts or air vents. Turn air conditioning off, and keep doors and windows closed during use.
If you need a quieter environment, set your machine to fan speeds 1-4, or consider selecting Night mode. Your machine will then use its quietest settings, with a dimmed display.
Increasing airflow will create a cooling effect using purified air, so you may find it beneficial to change your purifier's speed settings as the temperature changes. For personal cooling in summer, use settings 4-10. In colder periods, enable Diffused mode. It projects air through the back of the machine, to avoid unwanted cooling.
If you're concerned by the brightness of your purifier’s LCD display, consider enabling Night mode using your remote control or the MyDyson™ app.1 During operation, a small moon icon indicates that your purifier is on, but the main display turns off after 10 seconds to help avoid sleep disturbance.
If Auto mode is enabled, AUTO will be illuminated on your machine's LCD display. When purifying the air, AUTO will be in white. When the air in the room is purified, it will turn green and your purifier will remain idle until pollutant levels rise.
Your purifier humidifier fan’s Auto mode is designed to manage the air quality in your home without you having to operate the machine – so it’s only on when it needs to be. If you or someone in your home suffer from allergies or respiratory illnesses, we particularly recommend using Auto mode.
Your purifier works most efficiently in a sealed environment – opening the windows can allow more pollutants to enter the air in your home, which means your machine will take longer to work.
