A Word About the AM-45
Always disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning or
servicing the unit!
Note that the servicing intervals mentioned in this section are based on air purifier use of 12 hours
per day in a normal household environment. If your use of the air purifier differs from that described
above, then you can adjust the servicing intervals accordingly.
1. Clean the outside of the AM-45 and the area around the air purifier with a soft damp cloth
once every 2 weeks. If you are not using the Ionizer, then this interval can be increased to
once a month.
2. Access to the AM-45 filters and serviceable components is by removing the rear cover.
To remove the rear cover, push the button above the rear cover while pulling back on the rear
cover. The rear cover will pivot away from the main unit and then it can be lifted up and away.
The rear cover is reinstalled by fitting the projection at the bottom of the rear cover into the
slot at the back of the main unit and then closing the top of the rear cover until it snaps
into place.
3. The Pre-Filter is removed from the rear cover, by sliding it out the upper edge of the rear
cover. The Pre-Filter is reinstalled by sliding it back in the slot from where it was removed.
The Pre-Filter should be washed in warm soapy water or with a water spray once a month.
Make sure that the Pre-Filter is completely dry before reinstalling it.
4. Inside the rear cover facing the front of the unit are 6 ionizing needles that work together with
the Aluminum Mesh Filter to make the Electrostatic Filter. The needles are inside protective
cylinders and the needles should be cleaned with a brush once a month.
5. The Aluminum Mesh Filter is visible looking at the open back side of the main unit. The
Aluminum Mesh Filter frame holds both the Aluminum Mesh Filter and the Granulated Active
Carbon Filter. Remove the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame by lifting the tab above the filter and
then by pulling backwards towards the user on the upper part of the filter. The Granulated
Active Carbon Filter is removed from the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame, by sliding it out the
upper edge of the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame. Note that this needs to be done before
washing the Aluminum Mesh Filter. The Granulated Active Carbon Filter is reinstalled by
sliding it back in the slot from where it was removed. The Aluminum Mesh Filter frame is
reinstalled by fitting the bottom of the filter frame into its place at the back of the main unit
and then closing the top of the filter frame until it snaps into place.
a. The Aluminum Mesh Filter should be washed in warm soapy water once a month.
Make sure that the Aluminum Mesh Filter is completely dry before sliding the
Granulated Active Carbon Filter into its place in the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame
and reinstalling the filter pair into its place at the back of the main unit.
b. The Granulated Active Carbon Filter should be replaced once a year.
If the Granulated Active Carbon Filter is dusty, it can be cleaned gently with a vacuum cleaner.
c. While the Aluminum Mesh Filter frame is out of the unit, the interior of the unit
should be wiped with a soft dry cloth.
