CLEANING / MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.

1.The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a soft, dampened cloth.

2.The front grill can be removed and washed in warm soapy water (not dishwasher safe). Dry before replacing in the unit.

3.The top air outlet grill can be cleaned of dust with a small soft brush.

WARNING: Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the main housing of the air purifier.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Filter Check Indicator – There are three different types of indicators used in our air purifiers. Your air purifier may have one of the follow- ing: a filter condition sticker that serves as a color coded reference point. A filter reminder dial that is manually set to remind the user when it is time to replace the filter. Or an indicator light that illumi- nates when it is time to change the filter.

2.Every few weeks, check the condition of the filters.

3.Remove the front grill. If the unit is equipped with a foam pre-filter, examine the filter. If it has collected a noticeable amount of dust or lint, remove it from the inlet of the grill and wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse and drip dry the pre-filter thoroughly before replacing it into the inlet of the grill.

4.If there is a separate carbon odor filter it should be replaced every 2- 3 months. This helps extend the life of the HEPA filter and provides optimal odor removal.

5.With the front grill removed, check the condition of your HEPA filter. If the filter is dirty remove the used HEPA cartridge and dispose of it in the garbage. Do NOT try to wash and re-use the HEPA filter. Replace with a new HEPA filter, removing the protective polybag before inserting into the air purifier.

6.Units with a filter reminder dial should be set ahead 3-6 months depending on usage.

7. Units which have an indicator light must be reset once
