Clean Filter Indicator Button This air cleaner is equipped with a CLEAN FILTER indicator button to let you know when the HEPA filter requires cleaning. Generally this is every 480 hours of use. When the HEPA filter requires cleaning, the CLEAN FILTER indicator button on the control panel will illuminate. If the air cleaner is used daily, we recommend cleaning the HEPA filter more frequently. Replacing HEPA Filter With regular cleaning the life of the HEPA filter is approximately 12-18 months under typical household usage and conditions. We recommend replacing your filter every year. To purchase replacement HEPA filters, model # AF-100FL, go back to your retailer (where you purchased your air cleaner), or visit www.homedics.com. After cleaning or replacing the HEPA filter, be sure to reset the filter indicator by pressing the CLEAN/RESET FILTER INDICATOR BUTTON for several seconds until an audible chime sounds and the light turns off. 9
