The activated carbon fi lter must be replaced when it is no longer effective in eliminating
odors. The life of the carbon fi lter will depend on the concentration of odors and fumes in
the air passing through the air cleaner. Under normal operating conditions, the carbon fi lter
should last from three to six months. The carbon fi lter must be in place for the air cleaner
to operate.
If you experience problems with the operation of your air cleaner, please:
• Make sure electronic cell is clean, dry, and properly installed.
• Make sure pre-fi lter and carbon fi lter are both properly installed.
• Make sure the top cover is properly snapped in place.
• Check fan motor and indicator lamp on all speed settings starting with low.
If your air cleaner still has any of the following problems, proceed step by step as shown
below until no further action needs to be taken.

• Make sure there is voltage to the receptacle by using any other electric device.
• Make sure the carbon fi lter is in place.
