4. Maintenance

Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining the performance and efficiency of your BOSCH Air 4000 Air Purifier.

• Replacement Frequency: The lifespan of the filter depends on usage and air quality. As a general guideline, it is recommended to replace the filter every 6-12 months. Your air purifier's filter indicator light will also signal when a replacement is due.
• Cleaning: The 3-in-1 filter is not washable. Attempting to wash the filter will damage its structure and filtration capabilities.
• Storage: Store new, unused filters in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after replacing your filter, consider the following:

• Reduced Airflow: Ensure the new filter is installed correctly and the compartment cover is fully closed. Check for any obstructions around the air intake or outlet of the air purifier.
• Persistent Odors: Verify that all plastic packaging has been removed from the new filter. If odors persist, it may indicate a need for more frequent filter changes due to high levels of pollutants in the environment.
• Filter Indicator Light Remains On: After installing a new filter, you must manually reset the filter life indicator on your air purifier. Refer to your air purifier's main manual for specific instructions on how to perform this reset.
• Unusual Noises: Ensure the filter is seated properly and not loose within the compartment. If noises persist, consult your air purifier's main manual or contact customer support.
