CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE PRE-FILTER
The plastic pre-filter is reusable. To clean it, follow this procedure:
- Pull out the bottom filter case ①
- Remove pre-filter ② from filter case ① and separate from carbon filter ③ and HEPA filter ④.
- Clean the pre-filter with a vacuum cleaner.
- Place the filter back into the filter case.
- Repeat the process for the top filter case ⑤
Replacing the HEPA filter
When the Filter LED light changes to RED, it is time to replace the HEPA and Carbon filters. The HEPA and Carbon filters are not reusable and should be replaced. Please contact your distributor to purchase replacement HEPA and Carbon filters. Depending on the levels of pollution, the lifetime of the HEPA filter may be longer or shorter than the recommended use times below
- Pull out the bottom filter case ①
- Separate the carbon filter ③ and HEPA filter ④ from the pre filter ②
- Replace them with new filters.
- Place them back into the filter case.
- Repeat the process for the top filter case ⑤
- Press the UP button on the Display for at least
- seconds, to reset the Filter timer to zero
Replacing the Reactor Chamber
In order for the VK Medi to remain functional, the reactor chamber must be replaced every 8000 hours. Your unit will indicate that a change is required by displaying a “-0001” code on the LED Display
- Disconnect all wires from the PCB board ①.
- Unscrew the 4 screws holding the PCB board to the reactor cell and remove the PCB board. You will need to install this on the new reactor chamber.
- Remove the component marked with ②, by unscrewing the 2 screws, and disconnecting it from the reactor chamber. You will need to install this on the new reactor chamber.
- You can now remove the old reactor chamber, by unscrewing the 5 screws holding it to the main unit (marked with arrows). Make sure no wires are still connected to the main unit.
- Next, place the new reactor chamber inside the main unit and secure it with the 5 screws.
- Install the PCB board and the component marked with ②, and connect all the wires back. (see a diagram of all the connections on the last page of this manual)
- You can now switch your VK Medi back on, press and hold the down button for 14 seconds, to reset the warning timer. Your VK Medi is ready for the next 8000 hours.
