! WARNING !

HIGH VOLTAGE. To reduce the risk of electric shock - unplug Air Purifier before servicing.

Rinsable Pre-Filter

The rinsable pre-filter extends the life of your filter made with HEPA Media by trapping larger airborne particles before they reach the filter made with HEPA Media.

The pre-filter is black in color and is attached to the filter made with HEPA media by means of a hook and loop style fastener. We recommend that you inspect the pre-filter once a month to insure that it is clean and therefore working most effectively. Before inspecting the pre-filter, switch off the unit, and unplug it from the AC outlet.

2.1 When you observe that the pre-filter is becoming clogged and requires cleaning, remove the pre-filter from the filter assembly and either gently vacuum it or gently rinse it under a running tap. (NOTE: Do not use any cleaning solutions, as these may damage the prefilter.) Allow filter to dry.

A red light will illuminate reminding you to change the filter. Replace the filter with Hoover Part Number: AH60015 and then use a paper clip to press the “Filter Reset” button next to the red light. Press and hold until beep occurs and light turns off.

To replace the filters made with HEPA Media:

-Switch off the unit, and unplug it from the AC outlet.

-Replace the old filter made with HEPA Media with the new filter made with HEPA media, ensuring that the pre-filter is aligned correctly.

-Replace the rear grille.

UV Bulb Replacement

The UV/TiO2 feature is activated by a fluorescent bulb inside the Air Purifier. As with all bulbs, this will require periodic replacement, depending on frequency of use. To ensure bulb is operational, periodically look at back of product for a blue glow through the grille. Checking in a low light environment or in the dark will aid in seeing the glow.

To replace the UV bulb:

- Switch off the unit, and unplug it from the

AC outlet.

- Remove the rear grille and filter made with HEPA Media.

- Remove the TiO2 coated screen

- Holding the ceramic end of the UV bulb, turn the bulb gently until it releases from the socket. The bulb will release from the top. To avoid injury do not touch the glass.

- Replace the expired bulb with Hoover Part Number: 440001064.

- Reinstall the TiO2 coated screen, the filter made with HEPA Media and the rear grille.
