2. Touch the Power button to switch the appliance OFF. Unplug the power cable from the wall socket when not in use and before cleaning or replacing the Filter, or cleaning the appliance.
   Removing and Inserting the Filter
   

3. Hold both sides of the Front Cover and slide the Front Cover upwards. The Front Cover detaches from the Main Body.

4. Remove the Filter. Wrap the Filter with a plastic bag to avoid pollutants falling to the floor.

5. If the appliance is being operated for the first time, remove appliance for the first time, remove the Styrofoam protection below the Motor Unit and above the normal position of the Filter in the Main Body.

6. The Filter consists of 3 filters: Preliminary Filter, HEPA Filter and Charcoal Filter.
   It is recommended to clean the Filter once every month. If the operating environment is poor, the cleaning frequency should be increased. If the Filter is blocked, it will lead to poor air purification, increase the power consumption and eventually lead to the breakdown of the appliance.
   Note: due to the different pollution levels of the actual environment, the life cycle of each Filter will be different. In households with a large number of smokers, the Filter replacement cycle may be shortened to once in every 6 months. If bad odours are released from the Air Outlet, it means that the Filter’s filtration and adsorption volume is saturated. The Filter should be cleaned first and if there is no improvement, it should be replaced.

7. The Filter is either cleaned if it had not reached its replacement cycle, or thrown away if it has. Please note that a Filter that reaches its replacement cycle cannot be used even if it is cleaned up. Please treat it as non-combustible waste.

8. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the surface dust on the Filter when the surface is dusty, which can extend the service life of the Filter. The vacuum cleaner can also be used to suck up dirt from the Air Inlet and Air Outlet.
   Note: The Filter that has reached the replacement cycle cannot be reused even if it is clean. Please dispose of it as non-combustible garbage.

9. If a new Filter is required, take the new Filter out of the plastic bag. Place the new/cleaned Filter in the correct position in the Main Body.

10. After the Filter is replaced, reset the Filter reminder; press and hold the Timer + Power buttons together for 3 seconds to reset the Filter life timer.
    General cleaning

11. Clean the exterior parts of the appliance thoroughly with warm water (below 40°C) & dish-washing agent and a damp cloth, and immediately wipe dry. Take special care that the Control Panel is kept dry and that the Motor Unit DOES NOT come into contact with water.
    DO NOT use a scrubbing brush.
    DO NOT use any of the following agents as a cleaner: gasoline, thinners, or benzene.

12. Never run water over the appliance as malfunctions may occur if water seeps inside the appliance.
