The steps for installing an air purifier filter vary by model and brand, but the following general steps can usually be followed:
1. Preliminary preparation
1. ** Consult the instructions **
- Different air purifiers may differ in the installation method of the filter screen. Find the product manual of the air purifier, which will have detailed guidance on the installation of the filter, including the installation position of the filter, the installation sequence, whether special installation tools are required.
2. ** Prepare tools **
- In general, you may only need a screwdriver. Some air purifiers filter is fixed through the buckle, this type may not need tools; However, if the filter is fixed by screws, then you need to prepare a suitable screwdriver, its specifications to match the screw head, such as a Phillips screwdriver or flat-head screwdriver.
3. ** Power off and move to proper position **
- To ensure safety, unplug the air purifier from the socket before installing the filter to avoid electric shock during installation. At the same time, move the air purifier to a spacious, bright and flat place for easy operation.
2. Installation process
1. ** Open the screen cover **
- There are several ways to open the screen cover. If it is a front filter, the cover can usually be removed by pressing or pulling the clip above or below the filter. For rear or side filters, it may be necessary to open the rear shell or side panel of the air purifier first. This may require unscrewing the screws holding the back shell or side panels in place, and then gently removing the back shell or side panels.
2. ** Remove the old filter (if any) **
- If the air purifier is installed for the first time or is replacing a new filter type, there may be no old filter. However, if there is an old filter that needs to be replaced, the old filter should be carefully removed from the warehouse first. During the removal process, pay attention to the installation direction and position of the old filter, because the installation of the new filter should be consistent with it.
3. ** Install new screen **
- Pick up the new filter and place it in the bin in the correct direction. The direction of the filter is very important, in general, the filter will have an arrow indicating the flow of air, to ensure that the arrow points to the same direction as the air flow inside the air purifier. If it is a multi-layer filter (such as a combination of a first-effect filter and a high-efficiency filter), pay attention to the relative position between them.
- Align the edge of the filter with the slot or mounting track in the bin cover, then gently press down or push the filter to install it firmly in the bin. If you hear a click or feel that the filter is locked, the installation is basically successful. If the filter is fixed by screws, screw the screw into the specified screw hole, tighten the screw, but do not overexert, so as not to damage the screw or the filter.
4. ** Close cover and check installation **
- Put the cover back in position, then press or rotate it so that it is tightly attached to the air purifier body. If the rear shell or side panel is secured by screws, screw back and tighten. After re-installation, check whether the warehouse cover is closed tightly, whether the filter screen is installed firmly, and there is no loose or gap.
Hopefully, these steps will help you install the filter of the air purifier smoothly. If you encounter any problems during the installation process, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer of the air purifier or a professional maintenance person for help.
