True HEPA Filter (Part #W4-0840):
Replace every
2-4 years. The life of this filter depends on the
amount of contaminants in the air and the
frequency in which the prefilter has been changed.
Renovations in the home that create wood or
drywall dust or similar contaminants will shorten the
life expectancy of the HEPA filter. To improve
airflow, the HEPA filter can be vacuumed between
changes, preferably outdoors. Use a soft brush
attachment for vacuuming this filter.
Note: Handle the HEPA filter carefully. The paper
is fragile and a puncture or tear will reduce
efficiency.
VOC AFTER Filter (Part #W4-0810):
This filter is
positioned inside the HEPA filter, and must be
replaced every 6-12 months. If there are heavy
odors in the home from cooking, smoking, painting
or other sources, the filter may require changing
more often.
