Step 1: Safety Precautions

Before beginning, ensure your air purifier is unplugged from the power outlet. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dirt and debris.

Step 2: Remove the Pre-Filter

Locate the pre-filter, typically found on the back or front of the air purifier. Carefully remove and shake it to remove any loose dust or particles.

Step 3: Clean the Pre-Filter

Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove any remaining dirt or debris from the pre-filter. Avoid using water or soap, as this can damage the filter.
