CARE & MAINTENANCE (CONT.)
When Should I Replace the Filter?
The True HEPA / Activated Carbon Filter should be
replaced every 12 months. You may need to replace
your filter earlier or later depending on how often
you use your air purifier. Using your air purifier in an
environment with relatively high pollution may mean
you will need to replace the filter more often, even if
the Check Filter Indicator is off.
You may need to replace your filter if you notice:
The air purifier does not effectively filter certain
•
odors anymore
Increased noise when the air purifier is on
•
Decreased airflow from the top of the air purifier
•
Unusual odors
•
The HEPA filter is visibly dusty or discolored
•
after removing the pre-filter
Note:
To maintain the performance of your air

Cleaning the Dust Sensor
It is recommended to clean the AirSight™

If the Air Quality Indicator is red (indicating
"Bad" air quality) more than usual, you may
need to clean your dust sensor.

dust, dander, smoke, and other particles,
you may need to clean your dust sensor
more often.
