Winix Air Cleaner - Manual (Page 13)

Mesh/ Activated Carbon Filter every three
months with normal use. The interval
between cleanings will vary based on room
conditions.
NOTE: Do not wash and reuse True HEPA
filter (5000 and 5000S), HEPA filter (5000B,
and Carbon Pre-Filter (5000B)
1. Remove the front panel and filter
cassette as described in Replacement
Procedure.
2. Remove the Pre-Filter by gently pulling
one side of the cassette frame outward
while lifting the Pre-Filter tab at the same
time. When one edge is clear of the
frame, the Pre-Filter will slide out for
cleaning.
3. Lightly vacuum the Pre-Filter and wash
with water and a mild household deter-
gent. Rinse, and shake off excess water.
4. To remove the Washable Nano-Silver
Mesh/Carbon Filter, turn the cassette
over and place face-down on an even
surface. Slightly flex the cassette frame
outward while pulling up on the long tab.
When the first corner is released, pull
out on the other long frame tab while
continuing to pull out on the filter tab.
When one long edge of the filter is free,
slide out for cleaning.
5. Wash the filter in warm water with a mild
household detergent. Rinse, and shake
off excess water.
6. Do not dry the two filters—running the
unit will be sufficient to dry them.
7. Replace each filter in the cassette frame
by inserting one long edge first, then
snapping into place by pushing sideways
and down at the same time. Make sure
both filters are completely inside the
cassette frame and secured by the short
tabs. If a filter is on top of one or more
tabs, pull outward, slightly flexing the
cassette frame, while gently pushing
down on the edge of the filter.
8. Replace the filter cassette and front
panel as described in Replacement
Procedure.
9. Plug in the power cord to a wall outlet
and turn on the unit.
