Inspect the air filter every month to check if it is blocked by dirt or contains holes. With normal

use of the device, the air filter needs to be replaced every six months (or more often if your

device is in a dusty environment). To replace the air filter:

Remove the air filter cover at the back of the device.

Remove and discard the old air filter.

Insert a new filter with the blue tinted side facing out.

Replace the air filter cover.

WARNING

Do not wash the air filter. The air filter is not washable or reusable.
