3.1 InStallIng the aIr fIlterS
Caution: A properly installed, undamaged foam lter is required for proper operation.
e device uses a gray foam filter that is washable and reusable, and an optional white ultra-fine
filter that is disposable. e reusable filter screens out normal household dust and pollens, while
the optional ultra-fine filter provides more complete filtration of very fine particles. e gray
reusable filter must be in place at all times when the device is operating. e white ultra-fine filter
is recommended for people who are sensitive to tobacco smoke or other small particles.
Two reusable gray foam filters and one disposable white ultra-fine filter are supplied with the
device.
If your filters are not already installed when you receive your device, you must at least install the
reusable gray foam filter before using the device.
To install the filter(s):
1. If you are using the white disposable ultra-fine filter, insert it into the filter area first, mesh-
side facing in, towards the device.
2. Insert the gray foam filter into the filter area as shown in Figure 3–1.
Note: If you are not using the white disposable lter, simply insert the gray foam lter
into the lter area.
