1. Gently pull the front cover of the air purifier to detach it.
2. Remove the pre-installed filters.
3. Remove all plastic packaging from each filter.
4. Reinsert the filters into the unit in the correct order (Pre-Filter, True HEPA Filter, Activated Carbon Filter). Ensure they are seated properly.
5. Reattach the front cover by aligning it and pushing it gently until it clicks into place.
