Maintenance
Your LakeAir Air Cleaner is a high quality,
precision piece of equipment designed for long
years of satisfactory performance. Adhere to a
regular maintenance schedule and no problems
should occur. This unit should be checked
periodically for “dust load” and replace filter
regularly. Under regular conditions the media
filter should be replaced every 3-4 months.
Under more severe conditions more frequent
replacement may be required. Note: Change
filter when noticeably dirty as it will damage
the motor if it is not changed frequently
enough. To obtain maximum efficiency from
your LakeAir Media Air Cleaner it must be
kept clean.
In addition to the grilles and filters, care should
be taken to keep the rest of the unit clean as
well.
