CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend that the air cleaner be cleaned at least once a month and before storage.
Turn the air cleaner OFF at the main switch and unplug it from the outlet.
Use a dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the air cleaner.
The grill plate may be cleaned with a damp cloth or the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
DO NOT USE WATER, WAX, POLISH OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION
Clean Filter Indicator
The air cleaner is equipped with a CLEAN FILTER indicator to let the user know when it is time to clean the
HEPA filter, about every 2,800 hours of use. When the HEPA filter is ready to be cleaned, the LED CLEAN FILTER
indicator will light up on the control panel.
Once the HEPA filter has been cleaned, press and hold the CLEAN FILTER indicator to reset until the LED
indicator light flashes and turns off.
Cleaning the HEPA Filter
Make sure that the air cleaner is turned OFF and unplugged from the outlet before cleaning.
