 CLEANING

1. The Composite Filter consists of3 components: Pre-Filter, HEPA Filter and Ioniser.

2. Filter replacement differs according to the pollution levels of the actual environment. Replacement of Filter can be estimated according to the sound and smell of the appliance. If bad odours are released from the Air Outlet, it means that the Filter’s filtration and adsorption volume is saturated

3. In households with a large number of smokers, or adjacent to construction sites, industrial factories, etc., the Filter replacement cycle may be shortened to once in every 6 months.
   It is recommended to clean the Filter once every 1 month. If the operating environment is poor, the cleaning frequency should be increased.

4. Press the ON/OFF Speed Button to switch the appliance OFF. Detach the USB cable’s Type-A plug from the socket of the charging device and the plug connector of the USB Cable from the socket on the appliance. Wait for the appliance to cool down completely.

5. Remove the Filter (refer to section on “Inserting and removing the HEPA Filter”). Wrap the Filter in a garbage bag to prevent pollutants on the Filter from falling into the room.
   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.

6. 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.

7. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up dirt from the Air Inlet and Air Outlet, and also to clean the surface dust on the Filter when the surface is dusty, which can extend the service life of the Filter.

8. Insert the new or cleaned Filter into the Base and put the Filter Cover back into position.

9.  Clean the exterior parts of the appliance thoroughly with warm water & detergent with a non-abrasive sponge and wipe dry. Take special care that the ON/OFF Speed Button and USB Charging Port are kept dry and that the Motor Unit DOES NOT come into contact with water. DO NOT use metal scouring pads or use any of the following agents as a cleaner: concentrated cleaning agents such as heavy oxidants, bleach, chlorinated solvents, gasoline, thinners or benzene.

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