6. Maintenance

WARNING: Always unplug the unit before performing any maintenance.

6.1 Filter Cleaning and Replacement

Regular filter maintenance is crucial for optimal performance.

1. Pre-filter: The primary filter is washable. When the filter indicator light illuminates, remove the pre-filter, clean it with a vacuum and/or dust brush, or wash it with water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation. Replace if damaged.
2. HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter is not washable and must be replaced when the filter indicator light remains on after cleaning/replacing the pre-filter, or when airflow significantly decreases. Dispose of used HEPA filters according to local regulations for hazardous waste, especially if used in contaminated environments.

6.2 General Cleaning

Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the intake and exhaust grilles free from obstructions.
