FILTER CLEANING TIPS AND TRICKS

Over time, the filters in your OxyPure can get caked with dust, pollen, pathogens
and other contaminants that can be accidentally inhaled or released into the air
ifthe filters are not handled properly during cleaning.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Filter Cleaning
Ideally, you should clean your filters outdoors, where you will have access to a water hose
(DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER) that will allow you to clean the filters from a
distance while eliminating the possibility of reintroducing trapped contaminants back into
your home. Outdoor cleaning, however, is not always practical due to weather or property
issues (i.e., you live in an apartment), so you will have to clean your filters indoors. It is not
difficult, and to make it even easier and more effective, here are some general and filter-
specific cleaning tips.
General Tips
1. Always Wear a Mask
This will prevent accidental inhalation of any contaminants when cleaning your
filters.
2. Move the OxyPure, Not the Filters
Move the OxyPure as close as possible to the location where you will clean the
filters. This will minimize the chance of the filter being shaken (see 3, below).
3. Handle the Filters Carefully
As you remove the filters from the unit, be careful not to shake, drop, bump, or
otherwise agitate them as doing so can cause the release of trapped contaminants.
4. Dry the Filters Completely
Never install a wet or damp filter into your OxyPure as doing so will interfere with the
filter's function.
5. Clean the Louvers
Raise the louvers to a 90 degree angle and then unplug the OxyPure. That will keep
them vertical while you wipe them down on each side with a warm, damp cloth. Plug
the OxyPure back in and allow them to come down again.
Filter Maintenance
When maintaining the filters, unplug the unit and open the Filter Access Panel. You will
see that the order of the filters, from the outside in, is as follows:
1. 2 Stainless-Steel Prefilters (Filter 1)
2. 2 Bio-Guard
®
3. 2 Ozone Emission Removal Filters (Filter 3)
4. 1 Bio-Guard
