FILTER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
If the filter is enclosed in plastic bag, remove it before use.
NOTE: Every few weeks, check the condition of filter.
Filter life will vary, depending on air quality and usage. Un-
der normal conditions of continuous use, the HEPA-type
filter will operate efficiently for 3-4 months, but we rec-
ommend regular cleaning for optimal performance. After
approximately 4 months of operation, the Filter Check
Indicator will illuminate ( ) (yellow LED) to alert you to
clean filter before further use.
To remove the filter for cleaning:
1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. To open and release the base air inlet grill from the
base, locate the handle at the base grill and turn
counter-clockwise until the Unlock icon ( ) is
aligned with the indicator mark below the power cord
outlet on the rear side of the air purifier housing (see
Figure 2).
3. Take out the permanent HEPA-type filter from the
unit, check the condition of the filter, and remove for
cleaning if dirty.
4. Using your vacuum cleaner, run the brush attachment
along both sides of the filter and clean between the
pleated layers (see Figure 3).
IMPORTANT: Do not use water, household cleaners or
detergents to clean the permanent filter.
