HEPA Air Filter image below.
4. Grasp the tubing and pull the filter 3 to 4 inches from the unit.
5. Remove the filter with one hand and hold the tubing with the other hand.
CAUTION: Do not allow the tubing to fall inside the instrument.
6. Connect a new filter to the tubing and position the filter inside the panel.
7. Reattach the panel door to the unit and close the access door.
