Replacing the Air Filter
To replace the air filter:
1. Remove the air filter cover at the back of the S8 Elite II.
2. Remove and discard the old air filter.
3. Insert a new filter with the blue tinted side facing out from the device.
4. Replace the air filter cover.
Inspect the air filter every month to check if it is blocked by dirt or contains holes.
With normal use of an S8 Elite II, the air filter needs to be replaced every six
months (or more often if your device is in a dusty environment).

WARNING
Do not wash the air filter. The air filter is not washable or reusable.

spillage onto the device. Ensure the air filter and air filter cover are fitted
at all times.
