The filter pulls out from the bottom and down
from the top.
The filter should be cleaned at least every 30 days or
as often as needed. To clean the filter, vacuum it on
the dusty side to remove light dust. Wash the filter,
cleaner side up, under gently flowing water to wash

dirty, use a mild household detergent in wash water.
Let the filter dry thoroughly before replacing it.
