5. Maintenance and Cleaning

To ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your filters, regular cleaning is recommended.

• Filter Cleaning: The foam and felt filters can be rinsed with clean water. Gently squeeze out excess water and allow them to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstallation. Do not use a washing machine or dryer.
• HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter should be tapped clean to remove loose debris. It is generally not recommended to wash HEPA filters unless specified by the manufacturer, as washing can damage the filter media.
