REMOVING THE FILTERS

Always unplug your Cuisinart Purxium Air Purifier from the electrical outlet before replacing or removing filters. To replace the Purxium™ Air Purifier filters,  you will first need to unplug the unit and remove the back panel. To remove the back panel, squeeze the latch at the top of the door panel and tilt the door panel down to remove. Once removed, you can slide out the entire 4-sided H13 HEPA filter system. Your filter system comes with 4 removable, reusable metal pre-filters. Slide each of the 4 filters out from the main filter housing and hand washes them in warm soapy water. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before using  with your new replacement filter.

INSTALLING YOUR REPLACEMENT FILTER SYSTEM

3.  Slide the removable, reusable metal pre-filter that you have washed and dried into the slots on all 4 sides of the replacement H13 HEPA/ Active Carbon filter.
4. Slide the new 4-sided filter system into the back of the unit until you feel resistance.

6. Reset the filter indicator light by pressing and holding down the night light button for 3 seconds. This will reset the filter indicator light.

MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT OF FILTERS AND UV-C LIGHT

The H13 high-grade HEPA filters could be vacuumed as needed in order for the air purifier to perform at its best. If the air purifier contains dust or pet dander, it’s best to clean the removable, reusable metal pre-filters more often than once a month to maintain 2,500 hours of filter life. Always unplug your air purifier from the electrical outlet before replacing or removing any filters or replacing the UV-C bulb.

Step 1. Filter Cover Panel: The Premium Air Purifier takes in and purifies air on all 4 sides. To remove filters contained in the unit, you will remove the filter cover panel located in the back of the air purifier. Press the button located on top of the panel to release it from the base of the unit.

Step 2. Pre-Filters and HEPA H13 Filtration Set: You will now see the pre-filter and HEPA H13 and active carbon filters that you will remove from the unit by placing your fingers on the left and right side of the filter and pulling straight out. The filters are a complete set. The pre-filters may be removed by pulling them up through the slots.

Step 3. UV-C Light:
Follow Steps 1 and 2 for removing filters. At the base of the unit, there is one screw that holds the cover to the UV-C bulb compartment. Remove the screw with a screwdriver and carefully remove the UV-C light bulb. Replace with new a  UV-C light bulb. The UV-C light bulb should be replaced at 10,000 hours of use. Contact Cuisinart customer service for your replacement UV-C light tube.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To get the most out of your Purxium™ Air Purifier, it’s best to clean the washable pre-filters once a month or more often, depending on where the air purifier is placed and if you have pets. The HEPA H13 filters should be cleaned once a month using the brush attachment from a vacuum. 1. Unplug the power cord from the unit and from the outlet. The metal pre-filters are to be hand-washed only. If the pre-filters are fairly clean, wash each one with warm soapy water. If the pre-filters are very dirty, you may need to use a soft brush to gently clean them. Make sure the pre-filters are completely dry before placing them back into the unit. 2. Remove the HEPA H13 and active carbon filters as described on page 4.3. The best way to clean the HEPA H13 filters is to use a  vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Gently run the brush attachment along the white side of the filter only. You do not need to vacuum the active carbon filter on the other side of the HEPA H13 filter.
