Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions

Materials you’ll need:

• Soft, clean cloth

1. Unplug the Air Purifier

Before starting any cleaning, always unplug the air purifier from the power outlet for safety.

2. Remove the Front Panel

Locate the release button on the front panel and press it to detach the panel.

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the front panel, removing any dust or debris. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild detergent or dish soap diluted with water. Rinse the panel thoroughly and allow it to air dry.
