1. What comes with the VM

2: Installing filters before first use

The VM comes with three filters:

  • Pleated H13 HEPA filter
  • Activated carbon pre-filter
  • An odor removing Nanofilter sock
  • Setting up the Violett Dashboard
⚠️ These filters need to be installed before using the VM for the first time for the device to work properly.
Step 1: Remove the VM grate and activated carbon filter
  • Ensure the Violett unit is not plugged in and is completely unpowered.
  • Grasp the top grate and firmly pull straight up, away from the unit housing.
  • Remove the activated carbon filter and set aside.
Step 2: Remove the HEPA filter
  • Lift the HEPA filter straight up out of the body of the unit.
  • You may need to shift the filter from side to side to avoid dislodging the black jacketed wire assembly.
Step 3: Slip the Nanofilter sock over the HEPA filter
  • Remove the Nanofilter from its bag.
  • Slip the Nanofilter sock over the HEPA filter.
⚠️ The HEPA filter assembly depresses a safety switch on the bottom of the unit. Please make sure the HEPA filter is properly installed or the unit will not turn on.
Step 4: Insert the filters back into the VM
  • Place the combined HEPA filter and Nanofilter back in the assembly, narrow side down.
Step 5: Replace the activated carbon filter
  • Lightly place the activated carbon filter on top of the HEPA filter.
⚠️ Make sure no HEPA filter pleats are visible after replacing the activated carbon filter. If HEPA filter pleats are showing, remove the activated carbon filter and reset its position.
Step 6: Replace the VM grate
  • Replace the top grate, pushing firmly to ensure a tight fit.
⚠️ There is a safety switch that will not allow the unit to power up if the top grate is removed. Verify that the grate is fully seated into its original position.
Step 7: Plug in and power on the VM
  • Plug in your Violett VM at the device base.
  • Plug the VM into a wall receptacle.
  • Power on the VM.

3. Connecting the VM to WiFi

Connecting the VM to WiFi allows you to monitor air quality and control the device remotely.  

⚠️ The WiFi setup process requires either a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser on a laptop or desktop computer.

Step 4: Return to the Dashboard
  • Select "Next"
Step 5: Select the Violett device to pair
