spray cleaner liberally onto the filter media and left soak for 10 minutes. Large the filter can be rolled or soaked in a
shallow pan of air filter cleaner. Then, remove immediately and let soak for approximately 10 minutes. Rinse off the
cotton filter media with low-pressure tap water. Rising from the clean side to the dirty side. After rising, shake off all
excess water, and dry naturally. The use of other cleaning or drying methods will damage the filter and void the air filter
