Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install your new Airvana Pre-Filter:
- Power Off: Before beginning, ensure your Airvana AV470THP Air Purifier is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet.
- Locate Filter Compartment: Refer to your Airvana AV470THP Air Purifier's main instruction manual to locate and open the filter compartment. This is typically on the back or side of the unit.

Operation and Benefits
Once installed, the Airvana Pre-Filter operates continuously as part of your AV470THP Air Purifier's filtration system. Its primary function is to capture larger airborne particles such as dust, pet dander, and lint before they reach the main filter, thereby extending the main filter's lifespan.
The coconut carbon composition also actively works to absorb and neutralize common household odors and harmful VOCs, contributing to a fresher and healthier indoor environment.
Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Airvana Pre-Filter and air purifier, regular cleaning is essential:
- Cleaning Frequency: Under normal conditions of continuous use, the pre-filter should be cleaned approximately every 3 months (or 2160 hours of operation). However, depending on your indoor air quality and environmental factors (e.g., presence of pets, smoking, high dust levels), more frequent cleaning may be necessary.
- Cleaning Procedure:
- Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
- Remove the pre-filter from the unit.
- Gently vacuum the surface of the pre-filter using a brush attachment to remove accumulated dust and debris. Do not wash the pre-filter with water, as this can damage the carbon material.
- Reinstall the clean pre-filter into the air purifier.
- Replacement: While the pre-filter is cleanable, its odor-absorbing capacity may diminish over time. Replace the pre-filter when you notice a persistent return of odors or if the filter material appears damaged.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your new pre-filter, consider the following:
- Odors Persist:
- Ensure the pre-filter is clean and properly installed.
- Check the main filter of your AV470THP Air Purifier; it may also need cleaning or replacement.
- Consider if the source of the odor is continuous and overwhelming the filter's capacity.
- Filter Does Not Fit:
- Verify that you have the correct pre-filter model (AV-PF470) for your Airvana AV470THP Air Purifier.
- Ensure the filter is oriented correctly according to your air purifier's manual.
- Reduced Airflow:
- A clogged pre-filter can restrict airflow. Clean the pre-filter as described in the Maintenance section.
- Check the main filter for excessive dust buildup.
