CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE PERMAtechTM FILTER

The PERMAtechTM filter is designed to never need replacement. However, we recommend regular cleaning for optimal performance.

•Every few weeks, check the condition of the filter.

•After approximately 3 months of operation, a Filter Clean Indicator will alert you to clean the filter before further use.

To clean the filter:

1.Turn off and unplug the air cleaner.

2.Remove the air inlet grill by pulling on the tab.

3.Remove and examine the foam pre-filter.

•If it has collected dust or lint, remove and wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse and drip dry thoroughly before placing it back into the grill inlet.

4.Check the condition of the PERMAtechTM filters and remove if dirty.

5. Clean the PERMAtechTM filter.

•Using your vacuum cleaner,

run the brush attachment
along both sides of the filter
and clean between the	Figure 2
pleated layers (Figure 2).

IMPORTANT: Do not use water, household cleaners or detergents to clean the PERMAtechTM filter.
