ECLIPSE MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE—PATIENT
Training your patient to maintain the Eclipse properly will lead to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs. Train
your patient to perform the following procedures:
CLEAN THE AIR INLET FILTER
The Air Inlet Filter, located at the rear of the unit, must be cleaned at least once a week.
To clean the filter:
1. Remove the filter from the back of the cabinet.
2. Wash the filter in warm water using a mild detergent
solution.
3. Rinse the filter thoroughly and squeeze out the excess
water.
4. Allow the filter to air dry thoroughly.
5. Re-insert the filter in the cabinet.
6. Maintenance may be easier for the patient when a
second filter is provided.
