Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before handling or installing the pre-filters. Failure to do so may result in damage to the product or air purifier.

• Always unplug the air purifier from the power outlet before attempting to replace filters.
• Ensure the pre-filters are correctly oriented and securely placed within the air purifier.
• Keep filters out of reach of children and pets.
• Dispose of used filters according to local regulations.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install your new Hunter H-PF600 pre-filters:

1. Unplug the Air Purifier: Before beginning, ensure your Hunter HP600 series air purifier is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
2. Access the Filter Compartment: Locate and open the filter access panel on your air purifier. Refer to your air purifier's main instruction manual for specific details on opening the compartment.
3. Remove Old Filters: Carefully remove the used pre-filters and any other filters (like the HEPA filter) from the compartment. Dispose of the old pre-filters responsibly.
4. Prepare New Pre-Filters: The H-PF600 pre-filters are designed to be placed before the main HEPA filter. They are made of coconut carbon material.
5. Install New Pre-Filters: Place the new H-PF600 pre-filters into the designated slots, ensuring they lie flat and cover the surface of the HEPA filter (if applicable) or fit into their specific pre-filter housing. The carbon side typically faces outwards, towards the incoming air.

7. Plug In and Operate: Plug the air purifier back into the electrical outlet and resume normal operation.

Operating Principles

The Hunter H-PF600 pre-filters are an integral part of your air purification system. They perform two primary functions:

• Particle Capture: These pre-filters are designed to capture larger airborne particles such as dust, lint, pet hair, and other debris before they reach the main HEPA filter. This extends the lifespan and maintains the efficiency of the more expensive HEPA filter.
• Odor Neutralization: Made with coconut carbon, the pre-filters effectively neutralize common household odors originating from cooking, cleaning products, smoke, and pets, contributing to fresher indoor air.

Maintenance and Replacement

Regular maintenance of your pre-filters is crucial for optimal air purifier performance and air quality.

• Replacement Frequency: It is recommended to replace the H-PF600 pre-filters every 3 months for maximum efficiency. Depending on your specific air quality and environmental factors (e.g., presence of pets, smokers, high dust levels), you may need to replace them more frequently.
• Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the pre-filters. If they appear heavily soiled, discolored, or if you notice a decrease in air purifier performance or an increase in odors, it's time for a replacement.
• Cleaning: These pre-filters are generally not designed for washing. Attempting to wash them may reduce their effectiveness, especially their odor-neutralizing capabilities. Always replace with new filters.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues after installing new pre-filters, consider the following:

• Persistent Odors: Ensure the pre-filters are correctly installed with the carbon side facing the incoming air. If odors persist, the main HEPA filter might also need replacement, or the air quality in your environment is exceptionally poor, requiring more frequent pre-filter changes.
• Reduced Airflow: Check that the pre-filters are not obstructed and are seated properly. Also, inspect the main HEPA filter for excessive dust buildup.
• Filter Indicator Light: Some air purifiers have a filter replacement indicator. If it remains on after replacing filters, consult your air purifier's main manual for instructions on how to reset the indicator.
