LEANING OR

Under normal usage, you should clean the reusable blue pollen filter at least once every two weeks and
replace it with a new one every six months. The light-blue ultra-fine filter is disposable and should be replaced
after 30 nights of use or sooner if it appears dirty. DO NOT clean the ultra-fine filter.
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.
Dirty inlet filters may cause high operating temperatures that may affect device
performance. Regularly examine the inlet filters as needed for integrity and cleanliness.
1. If the device is operating, stop the airflow. Disconnect the device from the power source.
2. Remove the filter(s) from the device. Refer to section 4.7 of this manual.
3. Examine the filter(s) for cleanliness and integrity.
4. To clean the reusable blue pollen filter, first detach the light-blue ultra-fine filter if applicable, and
set aside or dispose of as needed. Then take the reusable filter to the sink, turn it upside down,
and run warm tap water through the white filter media to rinse away any debris. Next, lightly shake
the filter to remove as much water as possible. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstall-
ing it. If the reusable blue pollen filter is torn, replace it. (Only Philips Respironics-supplied filters
should be used as replacement filters.)
5. If the light-blue ultra-fine filter is dirty or torn, replace it.
6. Reinstall the filters. Refer to section 4.7 of this manual.

EPLACING THE
Operating the device with a dirty filter may keep the system
from working properly and may damage the device.
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.
Never install a wet filter into the device. You must
ensure sufficient drying time for the cleaned filter.
