CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WASHABLE ACTIVE CARBON FILTER CARE

Care Cycle

When the Filter Indicator Light
comes on, this indicates that the fil-
ter needs to be cleaned. If the unit
is kept on 24 hours a day then the
Filter Indicator Light will activate in
about 2 months.
The Filter Indicator Light is for ref-
erence. Clean the filter as often as
necessary when odor persists.
• The operating time is recorded

continuously, even if the power
plug is disconnected to move the
unit to another room or for some
other reason.

1

Remove visible dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.

2

Fill a large container with
warm water, add a mild
household detergent and stir.

Dilute as indicated on the detergent
container.

CAUTION

• Do not use any cleaner other than

mild (pH neutral) household deter-
gent.

• Make sure that the Washable Active

Carbon Filter does not come into di-
rect contact with undiluted detergent.

3

Allow the filter to
soak approxi-
mately 30 min-
utes before
washing.

If the filter surface is
very dirty, scrub with
an old toothbrush or
the like.

CAUTION

Handle with care to
prevent damage to the
activated carbon par-
ticles.

4

Rinse thoroughly with
clean water

CAUTION

If rinsing in a con-
tainer, be sure to rinse
3 to 4 times so that the
odor is rinsed thor-
oughly from the filter.
If not rinse thoroughly
enough, an odor may
remain.

5

Remove excess water

The filter will be soaked with water after rins-
ing. To decrease drying time, wrap the filter
in an old thick hand towel so that excess
water can be removed. It may take 1 or 2
days to dry.

CAUTION

Some black powder
(activated carbon)
may adhere to the
towel. It is harmless,
but you may want to
use an old towel.

HAND WASH ONLY!
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY!
