Clean Filter Indicator

The air cleaner is equipped with a CLEAN FILTER indicator to let the user know when it
is time to clean the HEPA filter, about every 2,800 hours of use. When the HEPA filter
is ready to be cleaned, the LED CLEAN FILTER indicator will light up on the control
panel.
Once the permanent HEPA filter has been cleaned, press and hold the CLEAN FILTER
button to reset the Indicator until it beeps.
