Checking the Filters
A special filter check gauge is included with your air purifier
to allow you to check the condition of the filters. It is stored
in a compartment behind the front intake grille. See item 4
on page 2 for location.
The HEPA filter should last approximately 12 months with
continuous use, less in areas with a high level of airborne
particles such as dust or pollen.
The carbon pre-filter will last approximately three months.
NOTE: You must reinstall and snap the intake grille before
checking the filters with the gauge. The air purifier will not
operate if the grille is not in place.
