• Clean off the grille using a soft, damp cloth or the brush attachment of your vacuum as needed.
• Vacuum the prefilter monthly under normal usage conditions.
• Replace the HEPA-type filter every 12 months under normal usage conditions.
• Always use a genuine HoMedics replacement filter for optimal performance.

normal usage.
1. Unplug the air purifier.
2. Remove the HEPA-type filter as described in the Replacing the HEPA-Type
Filter section.
3. Vacuum the outside of the HEPA-type filter using the brush
attachment of your vacuum cleaner, cleaning it thoroughly.
4. Place the HEPA-type filter back into the air purifier and close the
filter cover.

Open the oil tray and remove the pad. Essential oil pads should be
changed when switching to a different essential oil scent. If continuing to
use the same scent, set the essential oil pad aside for reuse. Wipe down
the inside of the oil tray with a soft cloth. Place the essential oil pad back
in the tray and close.
NOTE: Leave the essential oil pad out of the oil tray when storing.
