the brush attachment from a vacuum.

are to be hand-washed only. If the pre-filters are fairly clean, wash each one
with warm soapy water. If the pre-filters are very dirty, you may need use a soft
brush to gently clean them. Make sure the pre-filters are completely dry before
placing back into the unit.
2. Remove the HEPA H13 and active carbon filters as described on page 4.
3. The best way to clean the HEPA H13 filters is to use a vacuum cleaner with the
brush attachment. Gently run the brush attachment along the white side of the
filter only. You do not need to vacuum the active carbon filter on the other side
of the HEPA H13 filter.
