Solution

• Make sure unit is properly plugged

in and outlet is switched on.

• Make sure unit turned ON.
• Make sure nothing is blocking

air inlet and filtered air outlets.

• Remove all plastic bags from filters.
• Check condition of filters and

clean if necessary.

• Make sure that the air intake grill

is at least 30 to 90 cm from the
wall.

• When unit operates in the AUTO

mode, it will automatically adjust
the fan speed to provide optimum
filtration based on air particulate
concentration. Therefore,
depending on the air quality in
the room, some variation in air
flow is normal and expected.

• This is normal and does not

affect performance in any way. A
new filter is not necessary.

• Remove plastic bag(s) from

filter(s).

• Make sure parts are firmly

positioned in place.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning The Permanent HEPA-type
Filters

The filter is designed to never need
replacement. However, we recommend regular
cleaning for optimal performance.
• Every few weeks, check the condition of the

filter.

• After approximately 3 months of operation, a

Filter Indicator Light will alert you to clean the
filter before further use.

To clean the filter:
1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. Remove the air inlet grill by pulling on the tab.
3. Remove and examine the foam pre-filter.

• If it has collected dust or lint, remove and

wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse and
drip dry thoroughly before placing it back
into the grill inlet.

4. Check the condition of the filters and remove

if dirty.

5. Clean the filter.

• Using your vacuum cleaner, run the brush

attachment along both sides of the filter and
clean between the pleated layers (Figure 2).

IMPORTANT: Do not use water,
household purifiers or
detergents to clean the
filter.
The filter may appear
discolored, even after
vacuuming. This is
normal and does not affect
performance in any way—a new filter
is not necessary.
If the filter becomes damaged during
cleaning, call 0870 759 9000 to order
replacements.
