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). • 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.4). 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. Fig 4 • 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).
