Step 6: Discard used pre-filter if necessary. Clean the HEPA filter if necessary. Step 7: Carefully wrap the pre-filter around the HEPA filter so that the ends meet (Fig. 4). Fasten the ends together with the fastener provided. Use Honeywell Universal Carbon Pre-filter model #38002. Step 8: Place the whole filter assembly into the internal chamber. Close the product by replacing the base and tightening the locking mechanism. Step 9: Turn the air purifier into an upright position, plug into a wall outlet and it is ready for operation. Step 10: For models 10590 and 50100, roll forward the Pre-filter Change Calendar 3 months Cleaning the Lifetime HEPA™ Permanent Filter* The LifeTime HEPA™ Filter is vacuum-able and should be cleaned regularly for optimum performance. To Clean the HEPA Filter: • DO NOT USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN THE HEPA FILTER. • Turn the air purifier OFF and unplug from the wall outlet. • After removing the filter assembly from the air purifier (refer to section "Removing/Changing the Filters" in this manual), separate and remove the carbon pre-filter from the HEPA filter and place aside (or discard if pre-filter needs replacement). Fig 5 • To vacuum-clean the filter, hold the filter and run a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle or brush attachment along the filter to pick-up the dirt and particles (Fig.5). Repeat along the entire surface of the HEPA filter. • Do not penetrate the HEPA paper pleats with the vacuum attachment since tearing or puncturing can occur. • Note that the filter may still be discolored even after cleaning it. This is acceptable and will not affect performance. Also, do not be concerned if you still see particles attached to the HEPA filter. The filter performance is still optimal. • After vacuuming the filter, wrap the pre-filter around the HEPA filter and place the whole assembly back into the internal chamber of the air purifier (see "Removing/Changing the Filters"). • You now need to reset the Intelli-Check™ Filter Indicator. With the air purifier powered on, press and hold the appropriate filter indicator button for approximately 10 seconds until the light turns off (see Fig. 1). • For models 10590 and 50100, roll the HEPA Clean Calendar forward 6 months.
