Replacing final filter

The final filter assists in the filtration
process to return clean air to the room.
The pleated filter will become dirty and
needs to be replaced about once a year
to maintain efficient filtration. The 3 layer
filter (some models) can be washed in
the same manner as the secondary filter
and reused.
To remove final filter, first open the door
on the side of the cleaner (Fig. 3-5).
Grasp filter (B) and pull it straight out.
Reposition new filter by reversing this
procedure.
The final filter can be replaced with any
of the following filters.

Do not operate cleaner without both
the secondary and final filter in place.
