Filter Maintenance

We recommend periodically checking and replacing filters for optimal performance. Under normal conditions of continuous use the pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months (approximately 2,160 hours) and the HEPA filter should be replaced every 6 months (approximately 4,320 hours). This estimate is only a guide. Depending on air quality and environmental factors, filters may need to be replaced more regularly.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use water, any liquid or detergents to clean the filters.

Remove any packaging and plastic bag from the new filter before replacement.

Filter Replacement:

1. Power off and unplug the product.
2. Gently take off back grille.
3. Grab the tab to remove the filter from the compartment.
4. Remove the pre-filter from the HEPA filter.
5. Align the pre-filter with the HEPA filter and firmly press to attach.
6. Put the filter back in the compartment.
7. Put the grille back into place and dispose of dirty filter.

Cleanable Wick

We recommend periodically checking and cleaning your synthetic wick for optimal performance. Under normal water conditions of continuous use the wick should be cleaned every 1-3 months. This estimate is only a guide. Depending on your water quality and environmental factors, the wick may need to be cleaned more regularly.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use any detergents to clean the wick.

Note: Water tank should be emptied and cleaned before storage.
