the air filter in the turbine to see if it is
excessively dirty. If it is dirty, follow these
steps to replace it.
Never operate your unit without the
air filters. Dirt could be sucked in and
interfere with the function of the unit.
1. Press the tab at the rear of the turbine. Slide the rear
housing off of the back of the turbine.
2. Remove the dirty filter from the turbine and replace
with a new one. The smooth side of the air filter must
be placed toward the turbine.
Secure the cover back onto the turbine.
