CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Instruction 
To avoid scratching the control panel, do not use abrasive/caustic cleaning solutions or  scrubbing pads. With the unit unplugged, dampen a clean towel lightly with soap and water to clean the control panel, then dry gently with a soft cloth or paper towel. Glass cleaner (e.g. Windex) is also OK. To avoid damaging electronic components, DO NOT allow liquid  to seep into the unit
Prefilter Cleaning 
The black mesh layer on the front of the filter, known as the prefilter, captures large dust and hair. This layer is held on with Velcro-like strips. This prefilter can be vacuumed in place to maintain efficient operation of the unit. 

Replacing The Filter

• The Filter Indicator has three lights: Green, Yellow, and Red. The Green light will be  illuminated for most of the life of the filter. The yellow light will come on shortly before your filter should be re-placed. This is the ideal time to order a new filter. You may order a new filter  at https://www.alen.com/ filters . The Red light will be illuminated when  it is time to replace the filter. 
• The filters used in Alen Air Purifiers are not designed to be washed, cleaned, or otherwise reused. Over time, the filters become overloaded with particles, decreasing their filtration  performance. We recommend regular filter replacements to extend the life of your air purifier and maximize performance.

Reset the Filter Indicator
After replacing the filter, hold the FILTER button down for five seconds. The Red light will be reset to Green.
