Understanding pollutants

When a pollutant reduces your air quality, its icon appears on screen. When a pollutant is detected, the coloured bar on the left indicates how much of it is present, and continually updates as the machine purifies your air.

Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool PC3 air purifier traps pollutants from the airflow.

  • Good

    When the green section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a very low level of the type of pollutant.

  • Fair

    When the yellow section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a moderate level of the type of pollutant.

  • Poor

    When the orange section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a high level of the type of pollutant.

  • Very poor

    When the red section of the coloured bar is highlighted, your purifier is detecting a very high level of the type of pollutant.

Auto mode

The on-board sensors will intelligently adjust the settings of the machine according to the air quality.

    PM10 level

    Shows particles smaller than 10 microns – including dust, mould and pollen.

  • Nitrogen Dioxide level represented by a car icon.
    NO2 level

    Shows oxidising gases such as NO2 – includes cigarette smoke, car emissions, candles and gas stoves.

  • Formaldehyde level represented by a molecular bond icon.
    Formaldehyde level

    Shows the machine’s electrochemical cell is precisely detecting formaldehyde, which it does for the lifetime of the device.

  • Volatile Organic Compounds level represented by a conical flask icon.
    Volatile Organic Compounds level

    Shows gases released from sources such as aerosol sprays and air fresheners. They include benzene, household fumes and odours.

Replacing your filter

Watch the video below to learn how to replace your filter. Alternatively, follow the instructions in your machine’s user manual. Always unplug the machine before changing filters.

When to replace your filter

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

Frequently asked questions

When Find+Follow™ air projection is turned on the AI vision system will detect presence within the room. Once presence has been detected the machine will direct cooling purified air towards you.

If you move within the room, Find+Follow™ air projection will automatically adjust the direction of airflow. Projecting purified air directly at you as your location changes.

The machine will continually detect the location of people within the room. If multiple users are in the room, Find+Follow™ air projection will adjust its oscillation field to efficiently project purified air.

The gas sensor is very sensitive and can sometimes become contaminated by strong solvents. The sensor will recover naturally over a couple of days. If a user wants to immediately reset the sensor, they can remove power to the machine at the plug for 30 seconds and then reapply power. This will cause the sensor to perform a short recalibration.

The first time a new machine is turned on, the gas sensors need to acclimatise. This usually takes two minutes, after which they will be fully functional. During the acclimatisation process the machine will continue to purify.

Dyson purifiers are optimal when left switched on in ’Auto mode’. This allows the purifier to constantly monitor your air quality, and automatically sense and capture pollutants. It adjusts the airflow speed, only purifying when needed.

The machine can switch the direction of the airflow depending on a user’s needs. It has forward-facing ‘Fan mode’, or ‘Diffused mode’. If the user desires purification without being cooled, purified air can be directed out the back of the machine. Users can continue to enjoy the benefits of purification when they don’t require the cooling airflow.
