CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
• Clean unit as necessary
by wiping with a dry, soft
cloth; for stubborn stains,
use a warm, damp cloth.
• Do not use volatile fluids
such as benzene, paint thinner, or
scouring powder, as they may damage
the unit surface. Keep the unit dry.
• Clean the wall behind the air outlet
periodically, as it may become dirty.
Filter Cassette Replacement
• The REPLACE FILTER INDICATOR will
signal when to replace the filter cassette.
The replacement period will vary
depending on the hours of use, air
quality, and location of the unit. However,
most filters in normal use need to be
replaced annually.
• 5000 and 5000S:
- For your convenience, all three filters
(Washable Anti-Bacterial Pre-Filter,
True HEPA Filter, Washable Nano-
Silver Mesh/Activated Carbon Filter)
come in one pre-packaged
replacement cassette.
- Change filter cassette when
REPLACE FILTER indicator is on.
- Push reset on inside of unit after
changing filter.
- For optimum unit efficiency, wash
the Washable Anti-Bacterial Pre-Filter
and Washable Nano-Silver Mesh/
Carbon Filter as described below
(Filter Cleaning) every three months.
- Do not wash and reuse the True HEPA
Filter—it will not work effectively.
• 5000B
- In case of 5000B, there are two
separate filters: HEPA filter and
Carbon Pre-filter.
- Change only HEPA filter when
REPLACE FILTER indicator is on.
- Push reset on inside of unit after
changing filter.
- For best performance, change the
Carbon Pre-Filter every three months.
- Do not wash and reuse Carbon Pre-
Filter — it will not work effectively.
