REMOVING / CLEANING THE IFD
This air purifier is equipped with an electronic filter indicator to serve as a convenient guideline for
cleaning the IFD ™ and pre-filter based on the air purifier's hours of use and operating power level. This is
beneficial because a filter's life depends on the amount of air and contaminants drawn through it. As you
operate your QuietClean ™ Air Purifier, the filter bar indicator will fill-up from left to right. The bar will
continue to fill as you use the unit. Once the bar is completely full, the Filter Reset button will illuminate –
it is time to clean the filters and reset the filter indicator.
NOTE: Depending upon your individual usage (environment, hours and power level of operation), you may
need to check and clean the filters more or less frequently.
To remove the IFD ™ filter:
• Make certain that the air purifier is OFF and the unit is
unplugged.
• Push the Filter Release button and then gently lift the
filter assembly (Fig. 6a & 6b). The filter assembly will
only release if the button is pushed.
• Remove the pre-filter (see "Cleaning the Pre-filter"),
and set aside.
To clean the IFD ™ filter:
• After removing the IFD ™ Filter from the air purifier, gently
run a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle or brush attachment
along the filter to pick-up tiny particles (Fig. 7).
Repeat on both sides.
If your IFD ™ filter appears to have dirt that has not been
removed by vacuuming, please follow the steps below to wash the IFD
• Turn the power off and unplug the air purifier.
• Remove the IFD ™ filter from the unit.
• Fill the sink with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap (Fig. 8).
• Gently swish the filter in the soap solution to clean.
• Soak the filter for 2-3 minutes. Do not leave for an extended period of time.
• Rinse the filter with clean tap water.
• Shake the filter to remove any excess water.
• Place the filter with the honeycomb side down on a plush towel (Fig. 9).
• Note that the filter may still be discolored even after washing.
This is acceptable and will not affect performance.
• Allow the IFD ™ filter to dry for a few hours or overnight.
• When the IFD ™ filter is completely dry, place back into the air purifier.
CAUTION:
• Never place a wet IFD ™ filter in your air purifier.
• Do not use any solvents, strong cleaning agents or flammable liquids to clean the IFD
