01 Best practices Place it in a big space. Air Pro will work in any room, but giving it space away from walls will help maximize clean air circulation. It’s designed for large, multi-usage rooms, up to 1000 sq. ft., like offices, large bedrooms, living rooms, and open floor plans. Run it 24/7. Air Pro uses low energy to keep fresh air flowing.

03 Controls & interface Tap the touch screen once to awaken your device and get a glance at the PM sensor level and current status of your Air Pro. Home screen Good PM10 Moderate Swipe left and right to switch between the five screens: Auto Protect Standby Standard PM2.5 PM1.
04 Modes & states Home screen See your overall particle level, from Good (green) to Very bad (purple). Your fan-speed mode is displayed at the top. Access the fan-speed menu by swiping or tapping the top of the screen. Access the PM (particulate matter) sensor menu by tapping anywhere else on the screen. A WiFi symbol indicates connectivity issues. A filter symbol indicates that your PECO-Filter is nearly used up (orange) or needs to be replaced (red).
04 Modes & states PECO-Filter status Track the status of your PECO-Filter and see when your next filter refill is scheduled to ship. Good There’s no need to replace your PECO-Filter. Replace soon Your PECO-Filter is nearing recommended replacement time. Replace Your PECO-Filter has reached recommended replacement time. Replace the existing one. Replace now Your PECO-Filter should be replaced immediately because it has exceeded its recommended replacement time.
Always use certified Molekule PECO-Filters. If the authenticity of the filter can’t be verified, the device will not start and an error message will be displayed.
04 Modes & states Fan speed selector Navigate between Auto Protect (Standard or Quiet) and manual modes (fan speeds 1-6). Auto Protect – Standard Auto Protect uses the PM sensor to measure airborne particulate matter levels and regulate fan speed for optimal air purification. Auto Protect – Quiet This setting also uses the PM sensor and regulates the fan, but will not run at high fan speeds, staying quiet while still maintaining effectiveness.

If you had previously turned off the WiFi signal, it will turn back on. • Disable WiFi You can disable and re-enable WiFi here.
05 What Air Pro senses in the air The laser-based sensor in Air Pro is designed to detect particles, giving you a window into the air in the room it’s operating in, to help maintain clean air. Using a laser and light-sensitive detector, the sensor counts particles that reflect light and gauges how much of it is in the air. Airborne particles, or particulate matter (PM), can contain a range of microbes, allergens, and bacteria.

06 Auto Protect & particle levels Understanding Auto Protect and particle levels Auto Protect uses the laser-based particle sensor to take automatic readings of the air in front of it and adjusts fan speed for optimal air purification in the room in which it’s running. It’s important to note that air pollution is more than just particles. While your device may show a low level of particles in the air, the presence of other pollutants would remain undetected by the particle sensor.
Molekule’s particle levels The scale and color levels on your Air Pro measure particle concentration on a four-tiered scale. Your device sensor is designed only to reflect the presence of particles in a cross section of your air, not the overall air quality, which would be based on measurements of many different types of air pollutants. A “Good” reading on your device may mean a low volume of particles detected in the air, but air pollution is complex and based on hundreds of factors.

07 Auto Protect & particle levels Particle sensor Your Air Pro’s sensor measures different particle sizes in a cross section of the air of the room it’s operating in, giving you insight into your air. It can sense three sizes of particles, known as PM (particulate matter): • PM10: Coarse particles 10 microns or smaller in width (about 1/5th of a human hair). Includes pollen, bits of mold, dander, and other matter common to indoor air. • PM2.5: Fine particles 2.

10 Frequently asked questions How do PECO-Filter auto-refills work? Air Pro ships with one PECO-Filter. We offer a PECO-Filter auto-refill plan to help ensure you have clean air when you need it by shipping PECO-Filters automatically to your doorstep. Why does my device come with a bag of activated carbon on top and why does it have an odor? Like any new product, your device encounters odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during manufacturing and shipping.
10 Frequently asked questions Why is my device’s filter status red and device shutting down? We understand that our customers lead busy lives and may forget to change the filter, which prevents them from having the cleanest air possible. Once a Molekule Air Pro’s PECO-Filter status indicator is red, this means the filter is beyond recommended usage and you should immediately replace your PECO-Filter. If you don’t yet have your replacement filter, order it now.
Why won’t my device power on? If you touch the device display and it doesn’t turn on, follow these recommended steps: • Make sure the device is plugged into a working outlet. • Make sure the power cord is fully plugged into the bottom of the device. • Make sure the PECO-Filter inside the device is unwrapped. • Make sure your PECO-Filter has been verified by inserting it into the device, twisting the device core closed, and waiting for the PECO-Filter status light to turn green.
11 Safety precautions & warnings Never place any objects on top of the unit. Do not place the unit directly below a shelf or other objects that might hinder the exiting air flow. Never cover vents while the unit is running. Avoid dropping the device or placing the device on an uneven or potentially unstable surface. To help ensure stable placement of the device and limit risk of tipping, only place on stable, flat floor surfaces and make sure the cord is fully clipped into the cord holder.
