Replacing your filters is quick and easy
When your device’s filter indicator light turns red, it’s time to replace the wick filter. Watch the video below for a full walkthrough of changing your wick & resetting you filter light, or follow the simple step-by-step instructions on this page.
Changing your filters
After approximately 9-12 months of use, or when the Air Filter Replacement Indicator turns red, it’s time to replace your air filter.
You can also check the remaining filter lifetime in the Blueair app.
To change your air filter:
- Turn off the device and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Open the front panel from the top air outlet.
- Gently slide out the pre-filter and use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust from the pre-filter.
- Pull the wick from the pre-filter frame and set it aside.
- Twist to unlock and lift the pre-filter frame and set it aside.
- Use the filter pull tab to remove the old air filter and insert the new air filter.
- Reinstall the pre-filter frame, wick, and pre-filter, then close the front panel.
- Plug the device back in and turn it on.
- Press and hold the Air Filter Replacement Indicator for 5 seconds to reset the filter lifetime. You can also reset the filter lifetime through the Blueair app.
Cleaning the Wick
Blueair recommends cleaning or washing the wick every two weeks and descaling it once a month to help prevent mineral buildup and maintain performance.
Wash the wick using a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Allow the wick to air dry and do not tumble dry in a dryer.
