How to Clean Your XLERATORsync HEPA Prefilter
Maintaining a clean HEPA filter is crucial for the efficient operation of your XLERATORsync. A clogged filter can cause the hand dryer to slow down and can even lead to malfunctions. But don’t worry, cleaning your XLERATORsync HEPA filter is quick and easy, and you should do it at least once a year, especially in high usage areas. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to clean your HEPA filter and pre-filter, ensuring your hand dryer functions smoothly.
Step 1: Unlock the Cabinet
Before you start cleaning your XLERATORsync HEPA filter, you need to unlock the lower cabinet to access the dryer box, which contains the filter. Once you unlock the cabinet, disconnect the power to the unit.
Step 2: Remove the Pre-Filter
The pre-filter protects large debris or particles from entering the HEPA filter. Remove it by pressing down on the clamps and then slide it out. Using a damp cloth, wipe the exterior and interior of the pre-filter, ensuring it’s clean.
Step 3: Assess the HEPA Filter
Now that you’ve removed the pre-filter, assess the condition of the HEPA filter. In areas of heavy usage, it’s recommended to replace the HEPA filter once a year. However, if your unit has been installed for less than a year, discoloration of the filter doesn’t necessarily mean you need to replace it.
Step 4: Clean the HEPA Filter
If you need to clean the HEPA filter, remove it from the dryer box and use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush it, removing any dust or particles. Be careful not to damage the delicate filter, as this can affect its efficiency. Once you’ve finished, reinsert the filter into the dryer box.
Step 5: Replace the Pre-Filter
Before restoring the power to the unit, replace the pre-filter, ensuring it’s secured in place. Once it’s in place, restore the power and test the sink for proper operation.
Keeping your XLERATORsync HEPA filter clean is key to a top-performing hand dryer. By following these easy steps, you can ensure that your XLERATORsync functions smoothly and without any issues. Remember to clean the pre-filter, assess the HEPA filter, clean it if necessary, replace the pre-filter, and then test your hand dryer. With these tips in mind, you’ll have no trouble keeping your XLERATORsync working at its best, saving you time and money down the road.
