Cleaning and Replacing the Air Inlet Filter

Under normal usage, you should clean the gray foam filter at least
once every two weeks and replace it with a new filter every six
months or sooner if needed.
1. If the device is operating, stop the airflow by pressing the
button. Disconnect the device from the power source.
2. Remove the filter from the enclosure by gently squeezing the
filter in the center and pulling it away from the device, as shown
below.
3. Examine the filter for cleanliness and integrity.
4. Wash the gray foam filter in warm water with a mild detergent.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue. Allow the filter
to air dry completely before reinstalling it. If the foam filter is torn
or damaged, replace it. Only Philips Respironics-supplied filters
should be used as replacement filters.
5. Reinstall the filter as shown below.

Removing the Air Inlet Filter
Note:
Never install a wet
filter into the device. It is
recommended that you clean
the filter in the morning and
alternate using the two foam
filters provided with the system
to ensure sufficient drying time
for the cleaned filter.
