Cleaning the Filter Mat

The filter mat is inserted in the filter mat holder at the front side of the system.
Cleaning frequency of the filter mat will depend on the operating environment.
If the environment is extremely dusty, clean the filter mat more often. The filter
mat may be changed while the system is powered-up.
