Replace it if it is leaking or has become cracked, cloudy, or pitted.
•
Replace it if the seal is cracked or torn.

Remove any white powder deposits using a solution of one-part household vinegar to 9 parts water.
Rinse with clean water.

blockages by dirt or dust.

Replacing the air filter

2. Place a new air filter onto the air filter cover and then close the cover. Make sure the air filter and air
filter cover are fitted at all times to prevent water and dust from entering the device.
