How do I reset the filter indicator on my Winix ZERO 360?

After installing a new 360° All-in-One True HEPA Filter, press and hold the reset button with a paperclip or similar tool for 5 seconds until the Check Filter light turns off. The Auto mode LED will light up to confirm activation.

How do I use my Winix ZERO 360 air purifier effectively?

Place it in a central spot at least 20 cm from walls or furniture for optimal airflow. Run it continuously in Auto mode, clean the pre-filter regularly, keep windows mostly closed during use, and match fan speed to room needs and noise levels.

Can I leave my Winix ZERO 360 running 24/7?

Yes, it’s safe and recommended for maximum air cleaning—Winix suggests continuous operation. Use Auto mode to extend filter life, as longer runtimes may require more frequent replacements.

How do I clean the pre-filter on my Winix ZERO 360?

Vacuum or brush off dust with a soft tool. For heavy soil, rinse in lukewarm water without soap or detergent, then air-dry completely for 24+ hours before reinstalling. Avoid washing the main HEPA filter.

Where’s the best place to position my Winix ZERO 360?

Put it in the room’s center, away from walls, curtains, or obstructions by 20 cm for full 360° airflow. In bedrooms, place it near the bed for overnight benefits; move it room-to-room if needed for one unit.

What does the red light mean on my Winix ZERO 360?

Red indicates poor air quality or a filter issue. Check and replace/clean the filter if needed, then reset. Colors typically mean: Blue (good), Green (average), Amber (fair), Red (poor).

How often should I replace filters in my Winix ZERO 360?

Swap the Washable True HEPA Filter every 12 months and the Activated Carbon Filter every 3 months for peak performance. Signs of dirt include visible dust, reduced airflow, or indicator lights.

Does running a dirty filter harm my Winix ZERO 360?

Yes— it reduces efficiency, strains the unit, increases energy use, and may overheat the fan. Clean or replace promptly to avoid poor air quality and extend device life.

How do I know if my Winix ZERO 360 is working properly?

Watch for color-changing air quality lights, steady airflow, reduced odors/allergies, and no filter warnings. Test by noting less dust buildup; run continuously for 20-30 minutes to see initial improvements in small rooms.
