Lift the old filter material off the door screws and
discard.

Install the new, clean filter material carefully over
the screws as shown. The screws should penetrate
the filter material fully.

Install the filter frame. Install the #4-40 nuts and
tighten (hand-tight) as shown.

Gently close the instrument door.

Order new filter material from your Metrohm
authorized distributor immediately.
