- Replace HEPA filters quarterly (more often in exceptionally high-use or dusty locations)
- Test Ionshield functionality annually using appropriate negative ion measurement devices
- Schedule professional inspection of motors and electrical components every 12 months
- Verify antimicrobial surface efficacy with ATP testing as part of regular hygiene audits
- Replace ZeroSmell modules when odor neutralization efficiency decreases
Care Instructions
The high-visibility red finish requires specific maintenance protocols to preserve its safety-signaling appearance:
- Clean external surfaces with non-abrasive, color-safe cleaning agents specifically formulated for colored plastics
- Avoid bleach-based products which can fade the vibrant red coloration
- Remove fingerprints and smudges promptly as they diminish the visual impact of the red finish
- Use microfiber cloths for cleaning to prevent micro-scratches that can dull the surface over time
- Address any scuffs immediately with manufacturer-approved touch-up solutions
- Apply UV-protective treatments annually in installations with direct sunlight exposure
