Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your COWAY AIRMEGA 100 Air Purifier.
Filter Care:
- Pre-Filter: The pre-filter is vacuumable. Regularly clean it to remove large particles like hair, pet dander, and dust. This helps maintain airflow and filter efficiency.
- Deodorization Filter & True HEPA Filter: These filters are integrated and not washable. Washing them with water will severely damage the filter and void the warranty.
- Filter Replacement: The Filter Replacement Indicator light will illuminate when it's time to replace the entire filter set. This typically occurs every 12 months, depending on usage and air quality.

Cleaning the Unit:
- Regularly wipe the exterior surface of the air purifier with a dry microfiber cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the unit's finish.
