●Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a vacuum cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of mild de- tergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before rein- stalling.
●If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air filter, air flow will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increas- ing noise.
●During periods of normal use, the air filters should be cleaned every two weeks.
When using the optional Air Cleaning Filter
●Install the optional air cleaning filter set as instructed (installation instructions are furnished with the air cleaning filter set).
●When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service personnel.
