  • Insert the framed filter into the designated slot of your K&F CONCEPT X-PRO Square filter holder.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your filter protect frame and the filter it holds.

  • Clean the frame with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
  • While the frame helps prevent fingerprints on the filter, always handle the filter by its edges or the frame itself to maintain optical clarity.
  • Store the framed filter in a protective pouch or case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your K&F CONCEPT Nano-X Pro Square Filter Protect Frame, consider the following:

  • Filter not fitting: Ensure your filter is a 100x150mm square filter with a thickness of 2mm. The frame is designed for this specific size.
  • Frame not closing securely: Verify that the filter is correctly seated in the grooves of the side frames before attempting to attach the upper and bottom pieces. Apply gentle, even pressure.
  • Difficulty inserting into filter holder: Confirm that your filter holder is part of the K&F CONCEPT X-PRO Square system, as this frame is designed for exclusive compatibility with that system.
