4.2 Cleaning Dust Filters

The unit features debris defense filters on the sides. These can be easily removed, vacuumed, or wiped clean every couple of weeks to maintain efficiency.

5. Troubleshooting

• Poor Air Quality Reading: If the unit consistently shows poor air quality despite running, ensure the filters are clean and properly installed. Check for any strong odor sources nearby.
• Fan Not Operating: Verify the unit is plugged in and powered on. Check if the control lock is activated. If in Auto Mode, the fan may be running at a low speed if air quality is good.
• Unusual Noises: Ensure the unit is on a stable surface and nothing is obstructing the fan or air intake/outtake. Check filters for proper seating.
