Follow these easy steps to replace your PuroAir 240 air filter:
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Turn Off and Unplug the Unit
Before starting any maintenance on your air purifier, ensure the device is turned off and unplugged from the electrical outlet. This guarantees your safety during the filter replacement process.
Step 2: Open the Filter Compartment
Locate the filter compartment, which is located on the bottom of the unit. Press the release latch and gently pull open the compartment door.
Step 3: Remove the Old Filter
Carefully slide out the old filter from the compartment. Be cautious not to shake or drop the filter, as this can release trapped pollutants back into the air.
Step 4: Insert the New Filter
Unpack your new PuroAir 240 replacement filter. Insert it into the filter compartment, ensuring that it fits snugly and correctly. Check for any alignment markers or directional arrows on the filter to guide proper installation.
Step 5: Close the Filter Compartment
Close the compartment door and make sure it clicks securely into place. This ensures that the filter is properly sealed and the unit will operate efficiently.
Step 6: Reset the Filter Indicator
Plug your air purifier back into the electrical outlet and turn it on. Locate the filter replacement indicator reset button (refer to your user manual if necessary). Hold down the button until the indicator light turns off, signaling that the system has been reset.
Step 7: Dispose of the Old Filter Properly
Place the old filter in a plastic bag and dispose of it according to your local waste management guidelines. Some areas may have specific disposal instructions for used air filters.
