The result was that the paint particles got into the filter and covered the detector, which automatically went into overdrive to filter the air. I opened the HEPA filter and found out that the sensor is at the bottom right and can be cleaned with a small brush and vacuum cleaner. After a few tries, it now once again correctly measures the air quality and I must say, it was amazing how much paint particles the system had been able to clean from the air; Everything fell out as dry powder and it took a lot of vacuuming and kleenex to get all parts kleened up again, which proves it does an excellent job at filtering. Second note is that it is very good at deodorising. Instead of opening a window when I have burnt something in the kitchen, I just drag the HEPA in from the cinema room and let it happily spin for an hour or two to remove all the smell so that my wife does not know I messed up her kitchen : ) Update; after using the filter for about a year, I neglected to shut it down when spray painting a background for a photoshoot.
