The LifeTime HEPA
™
Filter is vacuum-able and should be cleaned regularly for optimum
performance.
To Clean the HEPA Filter:
• DO NOT USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN THE HEPA FILTER.
• Turn the air purifier OFF and unplug from the wall outlet.
• After removing the filter assembly from the air purifier (refer to section
“Removing/Changing the Filters” in this manual), separate and remove the carbon
pre-filter from the HEPA filter and place aside (or discard if pre-filter needs
replacement).
• To vacuum-clean the filter, hold the filter and run a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle or
brush attachment along the filter to pick-up the dirt and particles (Fig.4). Repeat along
the entire surface of the HEPA filter.
• Do not penetrate the HEPA paper pleats with the vacuum attachment since tearing or
puncturing can occur.
• Note that the filter may still be discolored even after
cleaning it. This is acceptable and will not affect
performance.
• After vacuuming the filter, wrap the pre-filter around
the HEPA filter and place the whole assembly back
into the internal chamber of the air purifier (see
“Removing/Changing the Filters”)
• You now need to reset the Intelli-Check
™
Filter
Indicator. With the air purifier powered on, press
and hold the appropriate filter indicator button for
approximately 10 seconds until the light turns off
(see Fig. 1).
