REPLACING THE HEPA-TYPE FILTER
Filter Indicator Light ( ) - Your air purifier has an indicator light that illuminates when it is
time to replace the HEPA-type filters.
IMPORTANT:
• NOTE: DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use the filter.
• If the filters are enclosed in plastic bags, remove before use.
NOTE:
Every few weeks, check the condition of filters. Filter life will vary, depending on
air quality and usage. On average, filters need replacement every 4-6 months.
To replace your filter:
1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. Open the air inlet grill and examine the foam prefilter. Remove any dust or lint, and
wash in warm soapy water. Rinse, drip dry, and place back into
grill inlet.
3. Remove HEPA-Type filter from the unit by pulling it gently to-
wards you and discard it. DO NOT attempt to clean the old filter.
4. Install the new filter (OAPF30-049 or BAPF30-IN) into the unit.
This model utilizes a hang tab and filter clips to insure that the
filter is properly in place. Before replacing the filter, make sure
that the hang tab is securely in place. The clip can only be
attached to the tabs on the filter one way. The filter clip should
easily slide onto the filter hang tab with only a small amount of
pressure. DO NOT use force while attaching the clip to the filter.
