Installing/Replacing the Air Filters

Caution: A properly installed, undamaged Philips Respironics blue pollen filter is required for proper operation.
The device uses a blue pollen filter that is washable and reusable, and a light-blue ultra-fine filter that is disposable.
The reusable blue filter screens out normal household dust and pollens, while the light-blue ultra-fine filter provides
more complete filtration of very fine particles. The reusable blue filter must be in place at all times when the device is
operating. The ultra-fine filter is recommended for people who are sensitive to tobacco smoke or other small particles.
The reusable blue filter is supplied with the device. A disposable light-blue ultra-fine filter may also be included. If your
filter is not already installed when you receive your device, you must at least install the reusable filter before using the
device.
This device has an automatic air filter reminder. Every 30 days, the device will display a message reminding you to
check your filters and replace them as directed.
Note: This message is a reminder only. The device does not detect the performance of the filters nor does it
recognize when a filter has been cleaned or replaced.
1. Lift up on the filter access door and swing open. If replacing, pull out the old filter assembly.
2. If applicable, place a clean, reusable blue pollen filter (1) on top of a new, optional disposable light-blue ultra-fine
filter (2) and firmly snap them together.
3. Place the new filter assembly back in the side of the therapy device. Swing the door closed.
