CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE PERMAtech
®
FILTER
The PERMAtech
®
filter is designed to never need
replacement. However, we recommend regular cleaning for
optimal performance.
• Every few weeks, check the condition of the filter.
• After approximately 3 months of operation, a Filter
Clean Indicator will alert you to clean the filter before
further use. Depending on the air quality in your home,
you may want to clean filters more frequently.
TO CLEAN THE FILTER:
1. Turn off and unplug the air cleaner.
2. Remove the air inlet grill.
3. Remove and examine the foam pre-filter.
• If it has collected dust or lint, remove and wash it in
warm soapy water. Rinse and drip dry thoroughly
before placing it back into the grill inlet.
4. Check the condition of
PERMAtech
®
filters and
remove if dirty.
5. Clean the PERMAtech
®
filter.
• Using your vacuum
cleaner, run the brush
attachment along both
sides of the filter and
clean between the
pleated layers (Figure 4).
IMPORTANT: Do not use water, household cleaners or
detergents to clean the PERMAtech
®
filter.
The filter may appear discolored, even after vacuuming.
This is normal and does not affect performance in any
way—a new filter is not necessary.
REINSTALLING THE PERMAtech
®
FILTER AFTER
CLEANING
NOTE: A hang tab and filter
clips ensure the filter attaches
properly.
1. Make sure the hang tab is
securely in place. Align the
clip on the top of the
PERMAtech
®
filter with the
rails on the inside of the
unit. Gently slide the filter
onto the rail (see Figures 5
and 6).
2. Place air inlet grill back onto
unit securely.
3. Reset the Filter Clean
indicator by pressing the
power button for 2 seconds.
