How should I clean my air purifier?

Issue

• How should I clean my air purifier?

Applies to

• AEG air purifiers

Resolution

First, unplug the air purifier to prevent electrocution and fire hazards.

• The plastic parts of the appliance can be cleaned with an oil-free dry cloth, or by using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. 
• The fabric on the air purifier cannot be removed. Clean the fabric by using an oil-free dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush.
• Dust accumulated in the air quality sensor can affect performance. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to remove any dust that accumulates. Vacuum (at least) once a month. 
• Never use abrasive, harsh cleaners or wax when cleaning your air purifier.

AX5 / AX7 series

• Ensure the sensor window is kept unclogged for optimal performance of the unit. It is natural for the dust to accumulate in this area, hence ensure regular (e.g. once per 4 weeks) vacuuming of the sensor window with a vacuum cleaner that has a narrow nozzle/brush. 
• The plastic parts of the unit should be cleaned with an oil-free dry cloth. For stains on plastic parts, use a slightly damp soft microfiber cloth to gently rub against the stain.  
• The fabric attached to the front panel should be wiped with an oil-free dry cloth or by using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to avoid breaking the fibres. The area around the air inlet on the front of the unit may accumulate more dust than some other parts and hence may require more frequent cleaning to ensure optimal performance.

• The fabric attached to the front panel should be wiped with an oil-free dry cloth or by using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. The area around the air inlet on the front of the unit may accumulate more dust than some other parts and hence may require more frequent cleaning to ensure optimal performance. The mesh filter should occasionally be wiped off or cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to avoid loss of performance.
