1. Accessing the filters
a.Remove safety screw(s) from HEPA filter access panel.
b.Pull the HEPA filter access panel up by the finger tabs and lift out to remove.
c.Lift the filter retaining rod out from the two clips holding it into position (some force may be neces- sary as it is a tight fit to ensure complete seal), ensure that pressure is kept on the filter cap as it is the only thing keeping the HEPA cartridge in place.

c.Remove the inner carbon filter from the HEPA cartridge.
d.Remove plastic shrink wrap from the new inner carbon filter.
e.Unroll the inner carbon filter and roll it up in the opposite direction (this makes the filter follow a more contoured profile against the inner HEPA fil- ter surfaces and helps keep it in place), place the rolled inner carbon filter inside the HEPA car- tridge and gently unroll it until the ends ‘butt’ together and the filter is snug against the HEPA filter screen.
4. HEPA Filter Replacement

c.Remove the plastic shrink wrap from the new car- bon canister.
d.Slide the carbon canister into the HEPA cartridge. The carbon canister should slide all the way in meeting the edges of the HEPA cartridge evenly on both ends.
e.Keep the HEPA cartridge horizontal and support it with your fingers to keep it from sliding out when replacing the HEPA cartridge back into the unit.
7. Installing the HEPA Filter Cartridge
a.With the filters changed or inspected, all 3 filters are ready to be placed back into the unit. Place the HEPA cartridge gently into the unit (if a carbon canister is being used, take care not to let it slide out as it is heavy and could damage the unit)
b.When the HEPA cartridge is in place, place the filter cap onto the HEPA cartridge and replace the filter retaining rod by sliding it into it’s two clips. (some force may be necessary as it is a tight fit to ensure complete seal)
c.Replace the HEPA filter access panel.
