Cleaning Your Air Purifier

Proper maintenance of your Hunter Air Purifier will help ensure years of trouble free service.

Follow these steps to properly maintain your Air Purifier:

1. Approximately every 90 days, the outside of the unit should be cleaned with a soft, damp

cloth.

2. If needed, the Front Grill can be removed from the unit and cleaned with soapy water. Simply

remove the Pre-Filter before exposing the Grill to water.

3. Follow the instructions in Changing the Pre-Filter and Changing the Filter (pgs. 9 and 10) to

determine when and how to replace the filters.

NOTES:

• The Air Purifier must be unplugged during the cleaning process.

• Be sure the unit is completely dry before plugging in and using.

• Never immerse unit in water.

Changing the Pre-Filter

When the Pre-Filter exceeds 1400 hours (refer to Filter Life Counters for additional information,

pg. 8), the Pre-Filter Indicator will turn on as a reminder that you should replace the Pre-Filter.

To maintain proper odor-removing capability and overall filtration performance, the Pre-Filter

should be changed every 1400 hours (approximately 3 months of use). If necessary, the Pre-

Filter can be changed more often. Proper maintenance of the Pre-Filter will help extend the life

of the HEPAtech® filter. Refer to Obtaining Replacement

Filters (pg. 14) if

you need help finding

replacement filters.

1. First, turn off and unplug the Air Purifier.

2. Next, remove the Front Grill. Place your fingers under the handle on the Grill and pull

forward, then up. Refer to Figs. 4 and 5 (pg. 6).

3. The Pre-Filter is attached to the inside of the Grill with hook tape. Pull gently on the Pre-Filter

to remove it. Refer to Fig. 9 (pg. 9)

4. If needed, use a soft damp cloth to wipe off the Grill.

5. Install the new Pre-Filter by placing it in the Grill and pressing gently on the Pre-Filter so that

it adheres to the hook tape. You may notice a few black particles coming off the Pre-Filter.

Those particles are part of the odor-removing activated carbon and will be collected on the

filter during regular use.

6. Place the Front Grill back onto the unit. First, line up the tab on the bottom of the Grill with the

recess on the purifier base and then push the top of the Grill forward until it is closed. Refer

to Figs. 6 and 7 (pg. 7). NOTE: This unit will not operate unless the Grill is in the correct

position.

7. Plug in the Air Purifier.

8. To reset the counter to zero hours and turn off the indicator, simply press and

hold

the Pre-Filter reset key for three seconds. Then, you must release the reset key and

then press and hold the Pre-Filter reset key again for three seconds to turn off the

filter indicator.
