  • Gather the necessary cleaning supplies, such as a soft cloth, mild detergent, and clean water.

02Cleaning the Pre-Filter

  • If the pre-filter is washable, follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean it using mild detergent and water. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting it into the air purifier.
  • If the pre-filter is not washable, replace it with a new one according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

03Cleaning the HEPA Filter

  • Inspect the HEPA filter for dirt, dust, and other pollutants. If the filter is washable, follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean it. Otherwise, replace it with a new HEPA filter.
  • If the HEPA filter is washable, rinse it with clean water and mild detergent. Gently shake off any excess water and allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling.
  • When replacing the HEPA filter, make sure to align it correctly and secure any filter cover that was removed.

04Cleaning the Activated Carbon Filter
