How to vacuum-clean the dust filter?
1. Carefully vacuum the air inlet side of the dust filter. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush suction nozzle.
The air inlet side of the dust filter is the side which is surrounded with a glue edge.
Tip: Lightly tap the filter on its dusty side to expel heavy dust contamination.
Tip: Compressed air is also permitted to clean the filters but take care not to damage them.
Caution: Do not use compressed air inside the booth area. Bring the dust filters outside the building to
blow off the dust.
Caution: Do not damage the dust filter. Replace damaged dust filters immediately.
11.4 Washing and drying the dust filters
About filter washing and drying
For environments where popcorn grease and such can contaminate the filters, Barco advises the client to
purchase one extra set of filters to cover drying time, as well as taking following extra precautions and
instructions pertaining to filter cleaning and drying.
Cleansing agent
To clean sticky, greasy dust filters we suggest usage of Sodium carbonate crystals (Na

CO

). Sodium
carbonate (Often called washing soda , soda crystals , or sal soda in the detergent section of stores) is
widely used to effectively remove oil, grease, alcohol stains … The product itself is relatively safe, sodium
carbonate is used in toothpastes and as a food additive (E500). Potential Hazards are described in the section
“ Hazards ” , page 140.

This cleaning procedure assumes that the filters are already removed from their slots.
Take into account that the time needed to dry the dust filters may be 24 hours or more. For that, it's
recommended to have a second set of dust filters which can be used while cleaning the first set.
Required tools
• Bucket with hot water.
• Sodium carbonate, 30 gram (handful) per liter hot water.
