REMOVING / CLEANING THE IFD™ FILTER

This air purifier is equipped with an electronic filter indicator to serve as a convenient guideline for cleaning the IFD™ and pre-filter based on the air purifier’s hours of use and operating power level. This is beneficial because a filter’s life depends on the amount of air and contaminants drawn through it. As you operate your QuietClean™ Air Purifier, the filter bar indicator will fill-up from left to right. The bar will continue to fill as you use the unit. Once the bar is completely full, the Filter Reset button will illuminate – it is time to clean the filters and reset the filter indicator.

NOTE: Depending upon your individual usage (environment, hours and power level of operation), you may need to check and clean the filters more or less frequently.

To remove the IFD™ filter:

Fig. 6a

•Make certain that the air purifier is OFF and the unit is unplugged.

•	Push the Filter Release button and then gently lift the
	filter assembly (Fig. 6a & 6b). The filter assembly will
	only release if the button is pushed.
•	Remove the pre-filter (see “Cleaning the Pre-filter”),
	and set aside.	Fig. 7

To clean the IFD™ filter:

• After removing the IFD™ Filter from the air purifier, gently run a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle or brush attachment along the filter to pick-up tiny particles (Fig. 7).

Repeat on both sides.

If your IFD™ filter appears to have dirt that has not been

removed by vacuuming, please follow the steps below to wash the IFD™ filter.

•Turn the power off and unplug the air purifier.

•Remove the IFD™ filter from the unit.

•Fill the sink with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap (Fig. 8).

•Gently swish the filter in the soap solution to clean.

•Soak the filter for 2-3 minutes. Do not leave for an extended period of time.

•Rinse the filter with clean tap water.

•Shake the filter to remove any excess water.

•Place the filter with the honeycomb side down on a plush towel (Fig. 9).

•Note that the filter may still be discolored even after washing.

This is acceptable and will not affect performance.

•Allow the IFD™ filter to dry for a few hours or overnight.

•When the IFD™ filter is completely dry, place back into the air purifier.

CAUTION:

Fig. 16

To install the IFD™ Filter and pre-filter:

• Insert the lower tab of the pre-filter frame into the filter assembly and press the top tab into the filter assembly until you hear a “click” (Fig. 15).

• Align the filter assembly with the opening in the unit and insert back into the unit (Fig. 16). Press until it is flush and you hear a “click”.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

•Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces of the air purifier. DO NOT USE WATER, GASOLINE, POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.

•The IFD™ filter and pre-filter should be cleaned at least once every three months, or sooner depending on the air quality of the room (See “Removing/Cleaning the IFD™ Filter” or “Cleaning the Pre-Filter” respectively).

NOTE: If you smoke, burn candles or oil lamps in your home, it is recommended that you wash your filter more frequently. When burned in an enclosed space, candles and oil lamps have a tendency to introduce soot into the air.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often is cleaning required?

The IFD™ filter reset light will illuminate to indicate that the IFD™ filter should be cleaned. We recommend cleaning the filter about once a month depending on the air quality of the room.

I just cleaned my filter but the filter indicator bar is still showing it is dirty, what’s wrong?

Each time you clean your filter you must reset the filter life indicator. It is a timer driven indicator to be used as a guideline, but does not represent the actual amount of dirt in the IFD™ filter. With the unit running, press and hold the appropriate button for up to 10 seconds and when you let go, the filter indicator bar should be reset.

The filter indicator bar on my unit is completely full but my filter doesn’t really look dirty.

The filter indicator on your unit is timer-based and does not measure the amount of particles in the IFD™ filter. It is possible that your filter indicator could indicate that the filter is dirty but some particles are so small that they cannot be seen but are present in the filter. We recommend cleaning the IFD™ filter (see Removing/Cleaning the IFD™ Filter in the manual).

My filter bar says my filter is still relatively clean but when I checked my filter it was really dirty.

In conditions where smoke, pets or air with a lot of contaminants are present it is possible that the filter could be dirty sooner than indicated on the indicator. The filter life indicator on your unit runs on a timer and if there are more particles in your air than in an average home, your filter could capture airborne particles sooner than indicated on the display. The indicator is intended to be used as a guideline and individual environmental conditions will vary.

Is the HHT-215 Air Purifier considered an ozone generator?

No. Ozone generators produce large amounts of ozone as the primary way to clean the air. The EPA does not endorse these products because they can cause ozone related health problems. The HHT-215 does not use ozone as the primary method to clean the air. It cleans the air by using IFD™ technology (Intense Field Dielectric) which only generates trace amounts of ozone, well below the limits established by the EPA.
