Winix Air Cleaner User Manual

Mesh/ Activated Carbon Filter every three 
months with normal use. The interval 
between cleanings will vary based on room 
conditions.
NOTE: Do not wash and reuse True HEPA
filter (5000 and 5000S), HEPA filter (5000B, 
and Carbon Pre-Filter (5000B) 

1. Remove the front panel and filter  
  cassette as described in Replacement  
  Procedure.

2. Remove the Pre-Filter by gently pulling  
  one side of the cassette frame outward  
    while lifting the Pre-Filter tab at the same 
  time. When one edge is clear of the 
  frame, the Pre-Filter will slide out for
  cleaning. 

3. Lightly vacuum the Pre-Filter and wash 
  with water and a mild household deter-
  gent. Rinse, and shake off excess water.

4. To remove the Washable Nano-Silver
  Mesh/Carbon Filter, turn the cassette  
  over and place face-down on an even  
  surface. Slightly flex the cassette frame 
  outward while pulling up on the long tab.  

  When the first corner is released, pull  
  out on the other long frame tab while  
  continuing to pull out on the filter tab.  
  When one long edge of the filter is free,  
  slide out for cleaning.

5. Wash the filter in warm water with a mild 
  household detergent. Rinse, and shake  
  off excess water. 

6. Do not dry the two filters—running the 
  unit will be sufficient to dry them. 

7.

 

Replace each filter in the cassette frame  

  by inserting one long edge first, then 
  snapping into place by pushing sideways  
  and down at the same time. Make sure  
  both filters are completely inside the 
  cassette frame and secured by the short 
  tabs. If a filter is on top of one or more 
  tabs, pull outward, slightly flexing the 
  cassette frame, while gently pushing 
  down on the edge of the filter.

8. Replace the filter cassette and front 
  panel as described in Replacement  
  Procedure.

9.  Plug in the power cord to a wall outlet  
  and turn on the unit.

Lightly vacuum the dust 
sensor every two months 
after removing the front 
panel.

NOTE: Dust Sensor is not 
equipped in 5000B.
