MAINTENANCE
CLEANABLE HEPA=TYPE FILTER
CLEAN / PRE=FILTER CHANGE SCHEDULE
Your air cleaner also has built-in reminders to let you know when to change
the charcoal pre-filter and when to clean H EPA-Type filter.
The charcoal pre-filter will need to be replaced and the H EPA-Type filter will
need to be cleaned periodically in order to allow the air cleaner to operate at
peak efficiency. The frequency of charcoal pre-filter replacement and HEPA-
Type filter cleaning will depend on the environment in which the air cleaner is
used. LED lights on the control panel will alert the user when to change the
charcoal pre-filter and clean the HEPA-Type filter.
After running approximately 14 weeks, 24 hours a day, the LED light below
Clean HEPA-Type filter will light up and a short beep will follow reminding you
the HEPA-Type filter should be cleaned.
After running approximately 8 weeks, 24 hours a day, the LED light below
Change Pre-filter will light up and a short beep will follow reminding you the
charcoal pre-filter should be replaced.
Please note that these pre-set cleaning and changing schedules are based
on factory recommended times under normal use. The HEPA-Type filter may
need to be cleaned or the charcoal pre-filter may need to be replaced earlier
depending on the environment. You should occasionally give the pre-filter a
visual check.
