Check and clean the machine
A grating or grinding noise could be caused by a blockage.
To always get the best performance from your Dyson purifying humidifying fan, it's important to regularly clean it and check for blockages.
Cleaning your machine
Wipe the machine with a damp lint-free cloth, paying special attention to the two oscillating channels within the amplifier loop.
Look for blockages in the air inlet holes in the shrouds, the small aperture inside the amplifier loop, and the soft plastic mesh visible inside the machine when the evaporator is removed.
Use a soft brush to remove dust and debris.
Do not use detergents or polishes to clean the machine.
Trickling or gurgling noise
If your machine is making a trickling or a gurgling sound, this indicates that the evaporator may be missing or has not been inserted correctly. Remove the evaporator and reinsert it.

Display screen
The humidification dial on your LCD screen shows the current room humidity in grey, and the target humidity in blue.
When your machine is humidifying, the dial will appear blue. A grey dial indicates that the humidifier is inactive.
Increasing the airflow speed
First, check the current humidity level in the room.
Press the information button on the remote control until you reach the relative humidity information screen.
If the ambient humidity level is higher or lower than the target humidity, increasing the airflow speed should help you reach your target.
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, allow for a few feet of clearance on all sides so that the air can circulate effectively. Place it away from radiators, draughts or air vents. Turn off any air conditioning and keep doors and windows closed during use.
If the machine is being used in a large open space with windows and doors open, it may take longer to reach the humidity level.

Evaporator
The Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool Auto React uses an evaporator to humidify the air. The room is humidified without the need for a cloud of mist. Instead, there will be an indication on the display when the machine is humidifying.
A water droplet animation on the display screen indicates that the machine is humidifying.
The water level in the tank will slowly decrease while your machine is humidifying.
The water will be depleted very slowly. Please allow a reasonable amount of time to pass before observing any change.
Is there anything else we can help with?

Deep cleaning your machine
To always get the best performance from your Dyson purifying humidifying fan, it is important to carry out regular deep cleaning to remove any limescale.
Before and after long periods where humidification is not used, we recommend you run an additional Deep clean cycle.
In hard water areas, you may need to run the Deep clean cycle more frequently. We recommend you use filtered water to always get the best performance from your machine.
Please follow the steps in the video.

Air quality
Your machine will pause when the target air quality has been reached, switching on again when the air quality levels drop.
Understanding pollutant levels
When a pollutant causes the air quality to drop, the relevant icon will appear on your LCD screen.
The coloured bar on the left of the screen will indicate how much of the pollutant is present, and will continually update as your machine purifies the air.
Pollutants may be present at varying levels at the same time. Your machine will detect pollutants and display the appropriate colour for each of them. For example, you may have a good level of PM2.5 and a very poor level of NO2.
Good
When the green section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your machine is detecting a very low level of the type of pollutant.
Fair
When the yellow section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your machine is detecting a moderate level of the type of pollutant.
Poor
When the orange section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your machine is detecting a high level of the type of pollutant.
Very poor
When the red section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your machine is detecting a very high level of the type of pollutant.
Extremely poor
When the dark red section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your machine is detecting an extremely high level of the type of pollutant.
Severe
When the purple section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your machine is detecting a severe level of the type of pollutant.

Water hardness is defined by the level of naturally occurring calcium and magnesium compounds in your water.
High content classifies your water as hard, whereas low traces of the compounds mean your water is soft.
High content can lead to a build-up of limescale in your appliances, such as your kettle or coffee-maker.
To avoid a build-up of limescale in your purifying humidifying fan, you'll need to run Deep clean cycles.
You'll need to run a Deep clean cycle more frequently in areas with hard water.
