7.1 Cleaning the Gross Particle Filter
Clean the gross particle filter on the back of the oxygen generator enclosure every
week, or more frequently if site conditions warrant. A clean filter allows the unit to
cool properly.
Use the following procedure to clean the gross particle filter:
1) Shut down the oxygen generator as described in Section 6.3 — Shutdown.
Do not operate the unit without the gross particle filter in place.
2) Remove the filter, and insert the second filter provided with the unit.
3) Restart the unit as described in Section 6.1 — Start-up.
4) Wash the filter removed from the unit in a solution of soap and warm water.
5) Rinse the filter thoroughly and remove excess water with a soft, absorbent
towel.
6) Allow the filter to dry, and then store it in a clean location. Alternate the clean
filter with the filter on the unit each time you perform this procedure.
