HEPA neutralizer maintenance

If you observe a decrease in the performance of your Rainbow you should inspect the HEPA Neutralizer. It may require cleaning. Carefully follow these directions to clean the HEPA Neutralizer. We recommend that you have an Authorized Rainbow Service Center inspect your HEPA Neutralizer after two years of use. After five years of use, the HEPA Neutralizer should be replaced (by an Authorized Service Center) to ensure your Rainbow performs its best.

!WARNING: Unplug the Rainbow before servicing.

!CAUTION: Do not operate the Rainbow without the HEPA Neutralizer. NOTE: Do not use detergent or soap to wash the HEPA Neutralizer—use clean water only.
