The AirGenius 6 uses the Odor & VOC Reducing

Pre-filter. The pre-filter

helps capture large airborne particles that enter the rear grille and also helps trap
common household odors and VOCs (gases).

This pre-filter is not washable and will lose its effectiveness over time. It should
be replaced every 3 months when you clean the ifD

Particle Filter for optimum

odor and VOC reduction performance.

To remove and replace the pre-filter, remove the rear grille and gently untuck the
filter from the plastic retention clips and dispose of used pre-filter. Remove the
plastic bag and place a fresh

pre-filter on the rear grille and tuck the edges

under the plastic clips to hold securely in place. Return the rear grille to the air
cleaner.
