5.2 Cleaning and Replacing Filters
The Zeegma ZONDER Pro Ash uses a multi-stage filtration system. Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining suction power and air quality.
- HEPA Filter: Tap the HEPA filter gently to dislodge accumulated dust. For thorough cleaning, rinse under cold running water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation. Replace the HEPA filter every 6-12 months, or sooner if damaged or heavily soiled.
- Fabric Filter: Shake off dust or wash gently with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching.
- Heat-Resistant Filter: This filter primarily protects the other filters from larger debris and some heat. Shake off any collected ash. Do not wash if it's a metal mesh type; simply clean it dry.
