Dry the filter outdoors
if possible in a well
ventilated area.
CAUTION
• The wet filter is heavy. Fix it securely for drying to
make sure it does not fall down.
• The filter takes longer to dry in winter, on rainy days.
Wash it on a day when the weather is good and
dry it in the sun.
Move it indoors at night to prevent freezing.
• Dry the filter outdoors in a well ventilated area. If
dried indoors, the water dripping off the filter may
soil your floor.
• Make sure that the activated carbon has not shifted
to one side inside the filter. If it has, distribute it
evenly with your fingers.
• Let the filter dry thoroughly.
If used while the filter is still moist, then the air that
is exhausted from the main unit will have an odour.
It may take 1 or 2 days to dry.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WASHABLE ACTIVE CARBON FILTER CARE
Care Cycle
When the Filter Indicator Light lights up,
this indicates that the filter needs to be
cleaned. If the unit is kept on 24 hours a
day then the Filter Indicator Light will be
activated in about 2 months.
The Filter Indicator Light is for reference.
Clean the filter as often as necessary
when odour persists.
1
Remove
visible dirt
with a
vacuum
cleaner.
2
Fill a large container up with
warm water, add a mild
kitchen detergent and stir.
Dilute as indicated
on the detergent
container.
3
Allow the filter to soak ap-
proximately 30 minutes be-
fore washing.
If the filter surface
is very dirty, scrub
with an old tooth-
brush.
CAUTION
Handle with care to
prevent damage to
the activated carbon
particles.
4
Rinse thoroughly with clean
water
CAUTION
If rinsing in a con-
tainer, be sure to
rinse 3 to 4 times so
that the odour is
rinsed thoroughly
from the filter.
5
Remove excess water
The filter will be saturated with water after rins-
ing. To decrease drying time, wrap the filter in
an old thick towel so that excess water can be
removed.
CAUTION
Some carbon may adhere to
the towel, but it is harmless.
HAND WASH ONLY!
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY!
• Once the Filter Reset Button has been acti-
vated, you will hear a beep sound that means
