CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WASHABLE ACTIVE CARBON FILTER CARE

HAND WASH ONLY!
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY!
Care Cycle
We recommend to the active carbon filter every six months.
Clean the filter as offen as necessary when odor persists.
1
Fill a large container with
warm water, add a mild
kitchen detergent and stir.
Dilute as indicated
on the detergent
container.
2
Allow the filter to soak ap-
proximately 30 minutes be-
fore washing.
3
Rinse thoroughly with
clean water
CAUTION
If rinsing in a con-
tainer, be sure to
rinse 3 to 4 times
so that the odor is
rinsed thoroughly
from the filter.
4
Remove excess water
The filter will be saturated with water
after rinsing. To decrease drying time,
wrap the filter in an old thick towel so
that excess water can be removed.
CAUTION
Some carbon
may adhere to
the towel, if you
towel -dry the
filter but it is
harmless.
5
Dry the filter outdoors if possible in
a well ventilated area.
CAUTION
• The wet filter is heavy. Fix it securely for drying to
make sure it does not fall down.
• The filter takes longer to dry in winter, on rainy
days. Wash it on a day when the weather is good
and dry it in the sun.
Move it indoors at night to prevent freezing.
• Dry the filter outdoors in a well ventilated area. If
dried indoors, the water dripping off the filter may
soil your floor.
• Make sure that the activated carbon has not shifted
to one side inside the filter. If it has, distribute it
evenly with your fingers.
• Let the filter dry thoroughly.
If used while the filter is still moist, then the air that
is exhausted from the main unit will have an odor.
It may take 1 or 2 days to dry.
