Filter Replacement Indicator

Both models are equipped with a filter replacement indicator that illuminates when it is time to check or replace the filters.

Cleaning the Pre-filter

The pre-filter is washable. Remove it from the unit and rinse it under running water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Clean the pre-filter regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage and air quality.

Replacing Activated Carbon and HEPA Filters

The activated carbon and True HEPA filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically. The replacement frequency depends on usage, but typically every 6-12 months. Refer to the filter replacement indicator and your specific model's guidelines.

For the Airmega 230, the cartridge design simplifies filter replacement, allowing for easier and cleaner removal and insertion of filters.

Cleaning the Exterior

• Unit does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the filter cover is properly closed.
• Poor air purification: Check if filters are installed correctly and free from excessive dust. Replace filters if the filter indicator is on. Ensure air inlets and outlets are not blocked.
• Unusual noise: Check for any foreign objects inside the unit. Ensure filters are properly seated.
• Air quality indicator always red/yellow: Ensure the air quality sensor is clean. If the issue persists in a clean environment, contact customer support.
