Chapter 6 – Replacing Filters
The IQAir system is equipped with a Filter Life Monitor which is designed to assist you in determining when a filter
needs to be replaced. If the air pollution in your environment is very high, there is a possibility that the filters may
not be effective throughout the displayed life time and may have to be replaced earlier than indicated by the Filter
Life Monitor.
For this reason it is important to look out for the signs of expired filters and replace filters earlier if neccesary.
The main signs are:
•Increased operating noise
•Decreased airflow
•Clogged filters
•Increased odor presence
Note: After a filter has been replaced, the filter life must be reset in the control panel. Refer to section 4.4.8.
6.1 Location of the Filters
The IQAir system features a modular housing design which enables easy replacement of
all filters in a matter of minutes.The illustration of the IQAir system on the control panel
shows the positions of the individual filters. These positions correspond to the actual
positions of the filters within the system.
5.3 Replacing the Battery of the Remote Control
When the battery becomes weak, the transmission results will deteriorate and the battery
should be replaced. The remote control requires one CR2025 battery. The battery
compartment is located at the bottom end of the remote control.
To open the battery compartment, press the small lever to the side and slide the battery
compartment out. Remove the used battery and insert the new battery.

6.3 Opening and Closing the Housing

follow the steps below.
1. Disconnect the IQAir system from the power supply before attempting to open
the system.
2. Press the first locking arm outward, using both thumbs as shown. Press just hard
enough to release the arm from its snap-in position in the diffuser. Disengage the
other arm in the same way.
3. Pull both locking arms evenly outwards until they snap into place and remain
open. Access to all filters is now possible (to change a specific filter, refer to the

3. Keeping the locking arms open, place
your hands on opposite sides of frame 1,
lift it slightly and pull it out slowly. As the
frame is withdrawn, tilt it progressively
upward to remove it completely.
