Cleaning and replacing the device filters

Under normal usage, you should clean the reusable blue pollen filter at least once every two weeks and
replace it with a new one every six months. The light-blue ultra-fine filter is disposable and should be
replaced after 30 nights of use or sooner if it appears dirty. DO NOT clean the ultra-fine filter.
Caution
Dirty inlet filters may cause high operating temperatures that may affect device performance.
Regularly examine the inlet filters as needed for integrity and cleanliness.
1. Turn the device off and disconnect from the power source before cleaning.
2. Remove the filter(s) from the device. Refer to the Installing and replacing the air filters section of this

3. Examine the filter(s) for cleanliness and integrity.
4. To clean the reusable blue pollen filter, first detach the light-blue ultra-fine filter if applicable, and set
aside or dispose of as needed. Then take the reusable filter to the sink, turn it upside down, and run warm
tap water through the white filter media to rinse away any debris. Next, lightly shake the filter to remove as
much water as possible. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it. If the reusable blue pol-
len filter is torn, replace it. (Only Philips Respironics-supplied filters should be used as replacement filters.)
