5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Airmega 300S.
Filter Maintenance
- Pre-Filter: The washable pre-filter captures large particles like hair and dust. Clean it regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, or when the 'Pre Wash' indicator lights up) by rinsing it under running water or vacuuming. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
- Max2 Filter (Activated Carbon + HEPA): This combined filter should be replaced approximately every 12 months, or when the 'Max2 Change' indicator lights up. These filters are not washable and must be replaced.
