The lters are a complete set. The pre-lters may be removed

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To get the most out of your Purxium™ Air Purifier, it’s best to clean the
washable pre-filters once a month or more often, depending on where
the air purifier is placed and if you have pets. The HEPA H13 filters should
be cleaned once a month using the brush attachment from a vacuum.
1. Unplug the power cord from the unit and from the outlet. The metal
pre-filters 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.
