How to Change the UV Lamp Filters
Introduction
The top of the UV lamps contain two filters that keep dust and other airborne particles from
entering the lamp. If the filter becomes clogged with dust and debris it can cause overheating and
even failure of the lamps.
When to do
Check the condition of the filters weekly and replace them every two weeks.
NOTE
If you receive a lamp overheat error, check for dust or debris. If you get a lamp overheat error
and there is no dust on the filter, call for service immediately.
CAUTION
The lamps may be hot so use caution when removing the filters.
IMPORTANT
We do not recommend vacuuming or washing the filters as they are often contaminated with ink
mist that cannot be easily removed.
Procedure
1. Turn off the UV lamps.
2. Wait for the lamp fans to stop to ensure the housing has cooled down.
3. Remove the two foam filters from the top of the housing by lifting an exposed corner as shown
below. The filter are flexible and will bend as you remove them.
