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 a
mild household detergent and
warm water.
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.
