The HEPA H13 filters should be cleaned once a month using the brush attachment from a vacuum. 1. Unplug the power cord from the unit and from the outlet. The metal pre-filters are to be hand-washed only. If the pre-filters are fairly clean, wash each one with warm soapy water. If the pre-filters are very dirty, you may need use a soft brush to gently clean them. Make sure the pre-filters are completely dry before placing back into the unit. 2. Remove the HEPA H13 and active carbon filters as described on page 4. 3. The best way to clean the HEPA H13 filters is to use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment. Gently run the brush attachment along the white side of the filter only. You do not need to vacuum the active carbon filter on the other side of the HEPA H13 filter. 6
