CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE: Always unplug the air purifier before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards. Never use abrasive, harsh detergents OR wax for cleaning the unit. The high efficiency filters cannot be washed, they must always be replaced when at the end of life.
23 Cleaning the air quality sensor box and sensor ( page 6, picture 14)

STORAGE
26 If you are not planning to use the appliance for a long time, cover it with plastic or return it to its carton.
NOTE: The multi-layer filter can not be washed, it can only be replaced.
CAUTION! Do not touch the fan blade when removing the multi-layer filter.

NOTE: Clean every 1-2 months to maintain the performance of the air quality sensor.
Ensure that the air quality sensor is kept clean and unclogged for optimal performance of the unit. It is natural for dust to accumulate in this area, vacuuming of the sensor box inlet grill with a vacuum cleaner that has a narrow nozzle/brush.
Cleaning the sensor: Open the sensor box inlet grill with finger and clean the lens, inlet and outlet with wet cotton swab. Use dry cotton swab to remove any excess water from the sensor.
After having cleaned the sensor box, we recommend to vacuum clean the filter at the same time. (ref. page 6, picture 14:2)

24 The plastic parts of the unit should be cleaned with an oil-free dry cloth. For stains on plastic parts, use a slightly damp soft microfiber cloth to gently rub against the stain. (ref. page 6, picture 15).

25 The area around the air inlet on the bottom of the unit may accumulate more dust than some other parts and hence may require more frequent cleaning to ensure optimal performance. The filter is equipped with a mesh filter and should occasionally be wiped off or cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to avoid loss of performance.
