4. Installation (Filter Replacement)
Before replacing any filters, always turn off and unplug your AIRDOCTOR unit from the electrical outlet. This ensures safety during the replacement process.

- Remove the Used Carbon Filter: Locate the Carbon Gas Trap VOC filter. It typically has a pre-filter attached. Carefully pull it out using the designated tabs or edges.
- Remove the Used UltraHEPA Filter: Behind the carbon filter, you will find the UltraHEPA filter. Pull it out using its tabs.
- Insert New UltraHEPA Filter: Take the new UltraHEPA filter. Ensure the arrows on the filter indicate the correct airflow direction (usually pointing inwards towards the unit). Slide it into the slot until it is securely in place.
- Insert New Carbon Filter with Pre-Filter: Place the new Carbon Gas Trap VOC filter (with its attached pre-filter) into the front slot. Ensure the arrows indicate the correct airflow direction. The updated design ensures a foolproof alignment.

5. Operating Principles
The AIRDOCTOR air purifier operates using a multi-stage filtration system. The Carbon Gas Trap VOC filters, along with the UltraHEPA filter, work synergistically to clean the air. The pre-filter captures larger particles, while the carbon filter absorbs gases, odors, and VOCs. The UltraHEPA filter then captures ultra-fine particles as small as 0.003 microns, ensuring thorough air purification.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your filters is essential for optimal performance of your AIRDOCTOR air purifier.
- Carbon Filter Replacement: The dual-action Carbon Gas Trap VOC filters should be replaced every 6 months under normal use conditions.
- UltraHEPA Filter Replacement: The UltraHEPA filter typically requires replacement once every 12 months, depending on usage and air quality.
- Pre-Filter Cleaning: The pre-filter attached to the carbon filter can be gently vacuumed periodically to remove accumulated dust and debris. This practice can help extend the lifespan of your carbon filter.
7. Troubleshooting: Resetting Filter Lights
After replacing your filters, you may need to reset the filter indicator lights on your AIRDOCTOR unit.
- Ensure the unit is plugged in and powered on.
- Locate the 'Filter Reset' indicator on the control panel.
- Press and hold the 'Auto' and 'Dim' buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds.
- The indicator lights for UltraHEPA and Carbon will flash three times and then turn off, confirming the filter reset.
