Amaircare 6500, 8500 & 10,000 Filter Change Instructions

Please read and follow the directions below to replace any filter(s) on your Amaircare HEPA Air Filtration System.


Opening the cabinet 1. Unplug your unit from the power supply outlet. 2. Open the front door of the unit by pushing up and lifting outwards, to gain access to the filter compartment. (you may need to remove a safety screw from the top of the door first)

	Removing the Filters 1. Lift the rod that holds the filter in place and remove the metal plate covering the end of the filter. 2. Remove the HEPA cartridges from the unit. NOTE: The carbon pre-filter and the HEPA filter will contain contaminants. Remove them slowly from the unit in order to avoid dusting.

Pre-filter 1. Lift the complete filter cartridge assembly from the unit. Remove and discard the carbon prefilter. 2. Wrap the new prefilter around the HEPA cartridge completely enclosing it. Use the 3 butterfly clips provided to hold the filter tightly around the HEPA cartridge. 3. Put the filter cartridge back in the unit.

	Inner Blanket 1. Fold the ends of the old Inner Blanket in and remove it from the unit. 2. Insert the new Inner Blanket inside the HEPA filter with the edges overlapped by at least one inch. Once it is in position press the Inner Blanket tightly against the inner screen until the ends butt together.

V.O.C. Cartridge (OPTIONAL) The V.O.C. Cartridge is used in place of the Inner Blanket. 1. Carefully slide the V.O.C. Cartridge into the HEPA filter. Do not drop it as it is heavy and may damage the filter. When replacing the HEPA cartridge into the unit, make sure the V.O.C. Cartridge does not slide out either end of the HEPA

	HEPA filter 1. Replace the HEPA cartridge complete with the new pre-filter and inner blanket (if changed) into the casing, making sure it is seated in the ring at the back of the unit. Install the cover plate and the filter retaining rods.

Closing the cabinet 1. After all of the filters have been replaced, replace the front door. 2. Plug in the unit and turn it on. For optimum performance set the unit to the highest speed setting.
