The unit will not operate with the collection lid.
•
The collection lid filter is removable for cleaning or replacement. See page 12.
h.
Carbon filters - the filters wick away any and all odors during processing.
•
IMPORTANT! Remove filter stickers - Check to see if your unit has stickers on the filters. They must be removed before using the machine. To remove the filter stickers,
remove the back panel from the unit and peel the stickers from the top of the two carbon filters. Dispose of the stickers and replace the back panel.
i.
Filter caps - small funnels sit on top of your carbon filters, ensuring that the air and steam flow is properly directed toward the unit vents. (set of two)
•
The filter caps are placed inside the unit in transportation. Remove the filter caps from inside the unit prior to running a cycle.
•
To install - remove the plastic wrap from the Filter Caps and secure them over the top of each filter inside the unit. Place the circle-shaped openings on top of the filters,
ensuring that the half-moon-shaped opening faces out toward the back of the unit.
