MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure that the New Comfort operates properly.
A severely polluted environment can foul an air purifier plate in as little as four
weeks or as long as a year. Shown here are basic maintenance procedures that
should be carried out to keep your unit running at top performance.
Pre-Filter/HEPA Filter Cleaning:
(Turn to page 7 for removal instructions.)
You have two options to clean filters:
 When filter is visibly dirty, simply remove the pre-filter or HEPA filter and
clean the heavy particulate from the screen with a hand-held vacuum. This
method will extend the life of the screen/filter.
 When filter is visibly dirty, remove the filter from the unit and wash it in cool
water, brush it gently with a toothbrush to remove particulate. Dry
completely prior to re-installing.
All filters are washable except for the charcoal filter.
Fan Blade and Front Grill Cleaning:
(Take off front/reinstall grill method.)
To remove for cleaning:
1. As detail on the left shows, hold bottom of
front grill and pull out.
2. When latch releases from front panel, lift
front grill approximately 30 degrees.
3. Pull front grill away from unit in a parallel
motion.
To reinstall after cleaning:
Place top latch of grill in front panel opening.
Push bottom latch of grill into bottom slot.
Cleaning Information:
Wipe off fan blade and front grill with damp washcloth. The fan requires no
maintenance. If the fan squeaks, a drop of lightweight machine oil may be needed
on the fan shaft.
