FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The AMAIRCARE HEPA Air Filtration System is designed to run continuous-
ly. To ensure optimal performance, please carefully follow the Product
Information and Owner’s Manual Instructions.
FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCIONS:
1. Read these instructions completely.
2. Unplug your unit from the power supply outlet.
3. Open the front door of the unit to gain access to the filter compartment.
4. Lift the rod that holds the filter in place and remove the metal plate covering
the end of the filter.
5. Remove the HEPA cartridges from the unit. NOTE: The carbon pre-filter and the
HEPA filter will contain contaminants. Remove them slowly from the unit in order
to avoid dusting.
6. To change the first-stage carbon filter, peel off the black pre-filter that sur-
rounds the HEPA cartridge and discard into a plastic waste bag.
7. Wrap the new pre-filter around the HEPA cartridge completely enclosing it with
the carbon blanket. Then peel off the paper backing of the adhesive strip on the
inside of the pre-filter and overlay the adhesive strip on the filter to seal it tightly.
The inner blanket (third stage filter) can be changed similarly however there is no
adhesive strip needed to hold it in place.
8. Replace the HEPA cartridge complete with the new pre-filter and inner blanket
(if changed) into the casing, making sure it is seated in the ring at the back of the
unit. Install the cover plate and the filter retaining rods.
9. After all of the filters have been replaced, replace the front door.
10. Plug in the unit and turn it on. For optimum performance set the unit to the
highest speed setting.
