6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your air purifier.
- Filter Replacement: The integrated filter has a life of approximately 1.5 to 2 years, depending on usage and air quality. A filter change alert will illuminate on the control panel when replacement is needed. Refer to the filter replacement instructions provided with your replacement filter.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Pre-filter Cleaning: The pre-filter, part of the integrated filter, can be gently vacuumed to remove larger dust particles and prolong the life of the HEPA filter. This should be done periodically, especially in dusty environments.
