Cleaning and Maintenance

Always disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning or servicing the unit!

Note that the servicing intervals mentioned in this section are based on air purifier use of 12 hours per day in a normal household environment. If your use of the air purifier differs from that described above, then you can adjust the servicing intervals accordingly.

1.Clean the outside of the AM-45 and the area around the air purifier with a soft damp cloth once every 2 weeks. If you are not using the Ionizer, then this interval can be increased to once a month.

2.Access to the AM-45 filters and serviceable components is by removing the rear cover.

To remove the rear cover, push the button above the rear cover while pulling back on the rear cover. The rear cover will pivot away from the main unit and then it can be lifted up and away. The rear cover is reinstalled by fitting the projection at the bottom of the rear cover into the slot at the back of the main unit and then closing the top of the rear cover until it snaps

into place.

3.The Pre-Filter is removed from the rear cover, by sliding it out the upper edge of the rear cover. The Pre-Filter is reinstalled by sliding it back in the slot from where it was removed. The Pre-Filter should be washed in warm soapy water or with a water spray once a month.

Make sure that the Pre-Filter is completely dry before reinstalling it.

Remove the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame by lifting the tab above the filter and then by pulling backwards towards the user on the upper part of the filter. The Granulated Active Carbon Filter is removed from the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame, by sliding it out the

upper edge of the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame. Note that this needs to be done before washing the Aluminum Mesh Filter.The Granulated Active Carbon Filter is reinstalled by sliding it back in the slot from where it was removed. The Aluminum Mesh Filter frame is reinstalled by fitting the bottom of the filter frame into its place at the back of the main unit and then closing the top of the filter frame until it snaps into place.
