REMOVING FILTERS

has been reached. Replacement filters are

filters.

are washable. If the filters are fairly clean,
wash each filter with soapy, warm water. If

use a soft brush to gently clean them. Make
sure the pre-filters are completely dry before
placing back into the unit.

not need to vacuum the black active carbon
filter.
