CHAPTER 9: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

9.1 CLEANING THE DEVICE

Before cleaning or performing any routine maintenance, always make sure the device is not operating and

disconnect the device from the power source.

NOTE:  e following cleaning instructions are for the device only. To clean the accessories, refer to

each accessory’s instruction sheet.

CAUTION:

Do not immerse the device or allow any liquid to enter the enclosure, inlet ﬁ lter, or

any openings.

Clean the front panel and exterior of the enclosure as needed using a cloth dampened with water and a

mild detergent. Allow the device to dry completely before plugging in the power cord.

Gently wash the reusable circuit tubing in a solution of warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse

thoroughly and allow to air dry.

9.2 CLEANING OR REPLACING THE INLET FILTERS

 e device has two removable ﬁ lters at the air inlet.  e gray foam ﬁ lter is washable and reusable.  e

optional white, ultra-ﬁ ne ﬁ lter is disposable.  e gray foam ﬁ lter should be cleaned at least once every

two weeks under normal usage and replaced with a new one every six months.  e white ultra-ﬁ ne ﬁ lter

is disposable and should be replaced after 30 nights of use or sooner if it appears dirty. Do not attempt to

clean the ultra-ﬁ ne ﬁ lter because this will damage the ﬁ lter.

NOTE: Dirty inlet ﬁ lters may cause high operating temperatures and may aﬀ ect performance.

Regularly examine the inlet ﬁ lters as needed for integrity and cleanliness.

Make sure the device is not operating, and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or DC source.

2. As shown in Figure 9–1, remove the ﬁ lter cap by gently pressing in on the sides of the ﬁ lter cover and

pulling the cap out, away from the device.
