Air clean filter

•In general, the filter should be sucked to remove dust in low fan speed of a vacuum cleaner once every three months.

•If there is heavily grime on the filter, soak the filter in lukewarm water with neutral detergent diluted 1:500 for 1 to 2 minutes then wash it.

•Rinse the filter in clean water, then let it dry on the towel in room temperature.

•Do not bend nor give excessive force onto the air clean filter.

•If the filter surface is heavily blocked with dirt or damaged, replace it with new one. Purchase a replacement filter at your local dealer. (model STK-FDXB)

•Wipe clean using a soft, dry cloth.

•To remove stubborn dirt, moisten a cloth in warm water no hotter than 104 °F, wring thoroughly, and then wipe.

•The air intake grille can be removed in order to wash it with water.
