Remove filter (3). If filter is stuck to the side of the case, gently tap the side with your hand. To check your filters, hold them up to a light, similar to your car air intake filter. If you cannot see light through more than 50% of the filter you need to wash it or replace the filter element. - Page 21 To clean the fan filter, remove the plastic fan guard by pulling it free. You will notice there are four tabs located at the edges. Pry these tabs out and the guard will pop free. Remove the filter element and wash with mild soap and water as necessary.
