CARE AND MAINTENANCE

EAP150, EAP300, EAP450CAUTION: Turn o the unit and unplug the electrical cord before performing any maintenance.• Clean unit as necessary by wiping with a dry, soft cloth; for stubborn stains, use a warm, damp cloth. • Do not use volatile uids such as benzene, paint thinner or scouring powder, as they may damage the surface. Keep the unit dry. • Lightly vacuum air quality sensor every three months. TROUBLESHOOTING

EAP150, EAP300, EAP450Occurrence Possible causes/solutionCan I wash my lter? No, the lters that come with the unit will fall apart and be ruined if water is run through them. (The Washable Pre Filter and HEPA 13 Filter for model EAP450 can be washed)Can I vacuum my lter? No, vacuuming will only spread the dust back into the air. If you think the lter is too dirty, it may be time to replace. (The Washable Pre Filter for model EAP450 can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush)There is an odour coming from the unit and I just opened it.The unit has been concealed in a tightly wrapped package of currogated cardboard and plastic. Because this has a fan and pulls air through it, it may give o some “new” odours. Depending on sensitivity, this should wear o in several days or perhaps a week depending on how much it is used.Will this clean a bigger area than what it is rated for?CADR ratings are provided from a controlled testing environment, if that environment changes, it can aect the performance. However if you have a slightly larger room than what the CADR rating is, it will still help improve the air, but may take a bit longer to do so. Where should I place the unit? Allow proper air circulation around the sides and infront of the unit. If there are doors or narrow hallways it may reduce the airow to the air cleaner, but will eventually circulate near the machine.The AIR QUALITY light is orange or red, but the air seems clean.Clear the sensor with a vacuum cleaner, as it may be blocked or clogged.Sometimes a compressed can of air may unclog the dust in the sensor.There is still some dust you can see in the air or on my furnitureThe unit will capture most dust and particles, however with opening doors, windows, central HVAC etc… there may still be some level of dust that you can see. There is nothing holding the lters in place The lters are meant to rest inside the unit. Once the unit is turned on, the force of air pulled through the machine will create a tight seal of the lters. I can hear revving of the fan motor This is normal, especially at night when all environmental sounds are quiet, you may hear the motor running in repetition.The unit has stopped removing odours eectively, or seems to be emitting an odour.Make sure the air quality sensor is not blocked or clogged.Move the unit closer to the oending odours.Replace the lters as they may have reached their capacity to absorb pollutants. You may need to replace lters more frequently.The CHECK FILTER indicator remains lit after replacing the HEPA lter. Press the RESET FILTER button by gently inserting a paper-clip into the RESET FILTER button hole. Hold for 3-5 seconds until a “beep” sounds toindicate the unit has been reset. www.electrolux.com
