Using the Filtrete™ Filter from 3M
The Filtrete™ Filter from 3M is disposable and should be discarded after 4 to 6 weeks of use. The Filtrete ™Filter from 3M is America's most efficientroom air conditioner filter. This filter captures far more airborrne micro particles than conventional air conditioner filters. It traps particles as small as 0.3 microns.
We recommend that you replace the filter every 4 to 6 weeks, but it should be replaced more often if 3 or more of the following situations occur at the same time:
