Cleaning and Maintenance

⚠️ Always switch off the unit and unplug it before cleaning.
💡 Clean the unit at least once a month for best performance.
Cleaning the Exterior and Filter Compartment
- Press the Power Button to switch off the unit and unplug it.
- Open the filter door and remove the filter.
- Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and lint from the filter surface. You can also use the brush attachment to clean inside the filter compartment.
- Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth or use a vacuum with a brush attachment.
- Do not use detergents, solvents, or spray cleaners on any part of the unit or filter.
Cleaning the Particle Sensor
Clean the sensor every 6 to 8 weeks, or if the PM2.5 reading seems inaccurate.
- Remove the sensor cover.
- Lightly moisten a cotton swab with water and gently clean the sensor lens.
- Dry the lens with a clean, dry cotton swab.
- Reattach the sensor cover.
- Do not use alcohol or solvents to clean the sensor lens.
High humidity can cause condensation on the sensor and lead to incorrect air quality readings. If this happens, clean the sensor and avoid using Auto Mode in very humid conditions.
Replacing the Filter
The Filter Replacement Indicator Light will illuminate red after approximately 4,380 hours of use (around 6 months, depending on usage).
- You may not need to replace the filter immediately, but check its condition when the light comes on.
- Replace the filter if it is visibly clogged, if airflow decreases, or if you notice unusual odours.
- For best performance, it is recommended to replace the filter at least every 6 months.
Removing the used air filter
- Press the Power Button to switch off the unit and unplug it.
- Open the filter door and carefully pull out the filter.
- Hold the filter by its tabs and slide it out of the compartment.
- Discard the used filter.
Replacing the new air filter

Resetting the Filter Indicator
After replacing the filter, reset the indicator:

Cleaning the air filter

For best results, clean the pre-filter once a month. If indoor air quality is poor or pollution levels are high, more frequent cleaning may be required.
- Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to clean the pre-filter.
- This will help remove larger particles such as dust, lint, hair, and pet dander.
- Do not wash or rinse the composite filter (Pre-filter + HEPA + Activated Carbon) with water.
Signs the air filter needs replacing
Replace the filter when you notice:
- Louder operating noise
- Reduced airflow
- Unpleasant odours returning
- A visibly clogged or dirty filter
💡 The HEPA filter should be replaced once its colour changes from white to grey or black. If the filter remains white, there is no need to replace it.
