Care Cycle
When the CLEAN FILTER Indicator Light
illuminates, this indicates that the filter
needs to be cleaned. If the unit is kept on
24 hours a day then the CLEAN Filter
Indicator Light will be activated in about 2
months.
The CLEAN FILTER Indicator Light is for
reference. Clean the filter as often as nec-
essary when odor persists.
1
Remove
visible dirt
with a
vacuum
cleaner.
2
Fill a large container up with
warm water, add a mild
kitchen detergent and stir.
Dilute as indicated
on the detergent
container.
3
Allow the filter to soak ap-
proximately 30 minutes be-
fore washing.
If the filter surface
is very dirty, scrub
with an old tooth-
brush.
CAUTION
Handle with care to
prevent damage to
the activated carbon
particles.

t h a t t h e o d o r i s
rinsed thoroughly
from the filter.
5
Remove excess water
The filter will be saturated with
water after rinsing. To decrease
drying time, wrap the filter in an
old thick towel so that excess
water can be removed.
CAUTION
• Some carbon may ad-
here to the towel, but it
is harmless.
• Do not wring out the
filter.
6
Dry the filter outdoors
if possible in a well
ventilated area.
CAUTION
• The wet filter is heavy. Fix it securely for drying to
make sure it does not fall down.
• The filter takes longer to dry in winter, and on rainy
days. Wash it on a day when the weather is good
and dry it in the sun.
Move it indoors at night to prevent freezing.
• Dry the filter outdoors in a well ventilated area. If
dried indoors, the water dripping off the filter may
soil your floor.
• Make sure that the activated carbon has not shifted
to one side inside the filter. If it has, distribute it
evenly with your fingers.
• Let the filter dry thoroughly.
If used while the filter is still moist, then the air that
is exhausted from the main unit will have an odor.
It may take 1 or 2 days to dry.

been cleaned, connect the power

Reset Button on either the Remote
Control or Main Unit.

vated, you will hear a beep sound that means
the unit has been reset.
• The Filter indicator light will then go out
automatically.
