Figure 5-1 Installing the Air Filters
To install the air filters, complete the following steps:
. If you are using the optional white ultra-fine filter, place it against the gray foam filter so the soft side
of the ultra-fine filter touches the gray foam filter. When the filters are installed, the hard plastic side of
the white filter will touch the inside of the device.
. Slide the filters into the air inlet at the rear of the device (with the white filter going in first, if it’s
used). Push them down into the recess as shown in Figure 5-1.
. Position the cap so that the small opening on the cap is facing down.
. Snap the cap into place.
NOTE: e filter cap should be installed with the air inlet opening at the bottom.
See Chapter 9 for information about cleaning or replacing the filters.
