4. Operating Principles

The Nobles HEPA Filter operates as a critical component within your air purification system. Air is drawn through the pleated filter media, which is designed to trap a high percentage of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens. The filter itself does not require user operation; its function is passive filtration as air passes through it.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your HEPA filter ensures continued air quality and efficient operation of your air purification unit. This filter is designed to be reusable.

• Cleaning: To clean the filter, gently tap it against a hard surface to dislodge loose dust and debris. A soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment can also be used on a low setting to remove surface particles. Do not wash the HEPA filter with water, as this can damage the filtration media and reduce its effectiveness.
• Replacement Frequency: While reusable, the effectiveness of a HEPA filter can diminish over time. The exact replacement schedule depends on usage, air quality, and the specific recommendations for your air purification unit. Monitor your unit's performance and consult its manual for recommended replacement intervals.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the filter for signs of damage, excessive discoloration, or reduced airflow. If the filter appears heavily soiled or damaged, replacement is recommended even if it is within the suggested cleaning cycle.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues related to your air purification unit's performance, consider the following filter-related troubleshooting steps:

• Reduced Airflow: If the air purification unit's airflow seems diminished, the HEPA filter may be clogged. Perform the cleaning procedure outlined in Section 5. If airflow does not improve, the filter may need replacement.
• Unusual Odors: Persistent unusual odors from the unit might indicate a heavily soiled filter. Clean or replace the filter as necessary.
• Unit Not Functioning: Ensure the filter is correctly installed and the access panel is securely closed. Some units have safety switches that prevent operation if the filter is not properly seated.
