Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER SWITCH AND DISCONNECT THE POWER
CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING.
Outer Housing:
Dirt and dust that settles on the unit due to the ionization process, as well as fingerprints, can
be wiped away with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or abrasive materials to
clean this unit. Use a cotton swab to wipe dust accumulation from between the grilles.
Ion Emission Pins:
BE SURE THE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL
OUTLET.
Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to clean dust
accumulation from the Ion Emission Pins.
Filter Replacement
With proper care and maintenance, the Vicks
®
Air Purifier should serve you for many years to
come.
Carbon PreFilter: The Carbon PreFilter serves two filtration functions. It removes odor and
gases from the air, as well as protecting and prolonging the life of the HEPA filter. Under
normal conditions, it is expected to have 90 days’ odor-capturing ability. The odor-capturing
capability can not be recharged.
If you use the Air Purifier in an environment where there are high concentrations of odors or
gases (such as cigarette smoke), you will probably need to change the Carbon PreFilter more
frequently.
Visually check the PreFilter. If there is a high level of accumulation visible on the surface, it is
a good idea to replace the filter, even if its odor-capturing capability has not perceivably
diminished.
HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter can be effective for up to three years, although this can vary
considerably depending on the environment in which the cleaner is used. We recommend
replacement every other season as a general rule. Heavy use, especially with high pollen,
sawdust, smoke or soot concentrations in the air will shorten the life of the HEPA Filter, as well
as that of the Carbon PreFilter.
