To replace the air filter:

S8 COMPACT.
2. Remove and discard the old air filter.
3. Insert a new filter with the blue tinted side facing out from the device.
4. Replace the air filter cover.
Inspect the air filter every month to check if it is blocked by dirt or contains holes.
With normal use of an
S8 COMPACT, the air filter needs to be replaced every six
months (or more often if your device is in a dusty environment).
