Replacing HEPA Filter
With regular cleaning the life of the HEPA filter is approximately 12-18
months under typical household usage and conditions. We recommend
replacing your filters every year. To purchase replacement HEPA filters,
model # AR-OTFL, go back to your retailer (where you purchased your air
cleaner), or visit www.homedics.com.
After cleaning or replacing the HEPA filters, be sure to reset the filter
indicator by pressing the CLEAN/RESET FILTER INDICATOR BUTTON for
several seconds until an audible chime sounds and the light turns off.

bulb has been replaced, press and hold the REPLACE UV-C BULB button until it
