wWARNING

Cleaning the Permanent Filter and Front Cover
NOTE: It is important to regularly clean
the permanent filter and front panel.
There is no need to touch the dirty
filter–simply remove front panel to
vacuum the permanent filter clean.
Use of an ionizer when filter and grills
are dirty may result in dirt particles
exiting the air purifier and being
attracted to walls and other household
objects.
The air purifier releases negative ions
into the filtered air. The ions are
colorless, odorless, and harmless.
The negative ions attach to small
particles in the air causing the particles
to take on a negative charge. The
negatively charged particles join
positively charged particles like dust,
smoke, pollen and pet dander to form
larger particles that are more effectively
captured by the filter system.
• Wipe enclosure, control panel, and
cord with a damp cloth or sponge.
• The front panel can be removed
and washed in warm, soapy water.
Do not place in dishwasher. Make
sure the panel is completely dry
before reinstalling.
• The outlet grill on the back of the unit
should simply be dusted.
• No part of the air purifier should be
placed in a dishwasher.
To clean the permanent filter:
1. Turn off and unplug air purifier.
2. Remove magnetic front panel to
access permanent filter.
3. Use the crevice tool or brush attach-
ment of your
vacuum cleaner
to clean perma-
nent filter. Run
attachment
between pleated
filter layers to
clean.
4. Replace magnetic front panel.
NOTES:
• There is no need to remove filter from
unit.
• Clean the filter once every three to six
months depending on usage rate and
soil level.
• Even after vacuuming clean, some
permanent discoloration of the filter
should be expected.
