Cleaning
Your unit is designed to remove dirt and other atmospheric impurities by drawing air
through the air filter. DO NOT block the air filter, as this will impair the efficiency of
the unit. Pushing the unit up against a wall or operating it in close proximity to long
window drapes will also impair the unit's air flow and efficiency.

• In a smoky or dusty environment, this filter will become grey in colour after one
to two months.
• Disconnect the unit from the main supply. Gently wash the filter in mild, soapy
water, dry and replace. Be sure to re-fit the rear screen securely. No special tools
are required for this.
