Filter Replacement
Filter Replacement Indicator:
Your Defender
®
is equipped with a Filter Replacement Indicator located on the
front panel. Anytime this red indicator flashes, it is recommended that you call your
Authorized FilterQueen
®
Distributor to order a replacement filter. Anytime this red
indicator stops flashing and remains solidly illuminated, it is recommended that you
change your filter. To receive the full benefit from your Defender
®
and to extend your
warranty, it is strongly recommended that you follow the filter replacement schedule
suggested above. Under higher pollution levels, your filters will need to be replaced
more frequently.
The Filter Replacement Indicator is operated by filter time in use and is controlled
by an onboard timer. After 11 months of time in use of your Medi-Filter
®
Cartridge, the
Filter Replacement Indicator will begin to flash. It will continue to flash until the you
reach 12 months of time in use, at which time the Filter Replacement Indicator will
stop flashing and remain solidly illuminated.
After replacement of your Medi-Filter
®
Cartridge, you must reset the Filter
Replacement Indicator timer. When the timer has been properly reset, the Filter
Replacement Indicator will turn off.
Resetting the Filter Replacement Indicator Timer:
After replacement of your Medi-Filter
®
Cartridge per the instructions found on page
7, the Filter Replacement Indicator timer can be reset by performing the following
sequence of steps:
❶ Plug unit into outlet.
❷ Press power On/Off switch to the On (“I”) position.
❸ Allow unit to start running at low speed.
❹ PRESS and HOLD both the Up and Down Arrow Buttons until the Filter
Replacement Indicator starts to blink.
❺ Release both the Up and Down Arrow Buttons.
❻ While the Filter Replacement Indicator is still flashing, again PRESS and
HOLD both the Up and Down Arrow Buttons until the Filter Replacement
Indicator turns off.
If the steps above have been performed properly, the Filter Replacement Indicator
will turn off and not flash again for 11 months. If the Filter Replacement Indicator
remains on, repeat the steps again.
Note that in step 6 above, the Filter Replacement Indicator MUST still be flashing
when the buttons are pressed the second time. The Filter Replacement Indicator will
continue to flash for approximately 3 seconds after the buttons are released as required
in step 5 above.
Note: Under higher pollution levels, your filters will need to be replaced more
frequently.
