Regular replacement and maintenance of the pre-filter contribute to cleaner air and optimal performance of your air purifier.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the pre-filter operates automatically as part of your air purifier's filtration system. No additional user interaction is required for its operation. The air purifier will draw air through the pre-filter, which captures larger particles before the air proceeds to subsequent filtration stages.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your pre-filter and ensures optimal air purifier performance:

• Regular Inspection: Inspect the foam pre-filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently depending on air quality and usage. Look for visible dust accumulation or discoloration.
• Cleaning: The foam pre-filter can often be cleaned. Gently vacuum the surface to remove loose dust and debris. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash the filter in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
• Drying: Allow the pre-filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it into the air purifier. Do not use heat to dry the filter, as this may damage the material.
• Replacement: While the foam pre-filter is washable, it will eventually degrade or lose effectiveness. Replace the pre-filter every 3-6 months, or sooner if it appears damaged, torn, or excessively discolored even after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing the replacement pre-filter, consider the following:

• Air Purifier Not Turning On After Filter Change: Ensure the filter compartment cover is fully closed and latched. Some air purifiers have safety switches that prevent operation if the cover is not secured properly.
• Reduced Airflow: Check if the pre-filter is excessively dirty and requires cleaning or replacement. Ensure it is installed correctly and not obstructing airflow within the compartment.
• Unusual Noise: Verify the pre-filter is seated properly and not vibrating against other components inside the air purifier. Re-seat the filter if necessary.
