to ensure optimal functioning of the
purifier.
1
Switch off the purifier and unplug it.

Place your fingers in the recess
of the side panels and gently pull
the bottom part of the front panel
towards you (1). Then lift the hooks
at the top of the panel out of the
top of the purifier (2) (fig b).
3
To remove the pre-filter, grab the
two projections and pull the filter
towards you (fig q).

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the
pre-filter or wash it under a running
tap. If the pre-filter is very dirty, use
a soft brush to brush away the dust
(fig r).
5
Air dry the pre-filter.

Note
• Alternatively, you can clean the pre-
filter by removing the dust with a
vacuum cleaner.
• Make sure that the pre-filter is
completely dry. If it is still wet, bacteria
may multiply in it and shorten the
lifetime of the pre-filter.
• Make sure that the side with the two
projections is pointing towards you,
and that all hooks of the pre-filter are
properly attached to the purifier.
