1.Remove the front panel and filter cassette as described in Replacement Procedure.

2.Remove the Pre-Filter by gently pulling one side of the cassette frame outward while lifting the Pre-Filter tab at the same time. When one edge is clear of the frame, the Pre-Filter will slide out for cleaning.

3.Lightly vacuum the Pre-Filter and wash with water and a mild household deter- gent. Rinse, and shake off excess water.

4.To remove the Washable Nano-Silver Mesh/Carbon Filter, turn the cassette over and place face-down on an even surface. Slightly flex the cassette frame outward while pulling up on the long tab.

NOTE: Never attempt to remove the True HEPA Filter from the cassette frame. Never attempt to clean the True HEPA Filter. Replace the entire cassette only when REPLACE FILTER alert activates.

When the first corner is released, pull out on the other long frame tab while continuing to pull out on the filter tab. When one long edge of the filter is free, slide out for cleaning.

5.Wash the filter in warm water with a mild household detergent. Rinse, and shake off excess water.

6.Do not dry the two filters—running the unit will be sufficient to dry them.

7.Replace each filter in the cassette frame by inserting one long edge first, then snapping into place by pushing sideways and down at the same time. Make sure both filters are completely inside the cassette frame and secured by the short tabs. If a filter is on top of one or more tabs, pull outward, slightly flexing the cassette frame, while gently pushing down on the edge of the filter.
