Instructions ‒ Vornado® PCO300 Silverscreen™ Enhanced True HEPA Air Purifier
Please see Owner's Manual tab for the owner's guide on the PCO300, including full instructions on changing the filters, UV Bulb and Silverscreen™ Trays. For best results, locate unit at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) away from any wall or furniture.
General on Cleaning Permanent Pre-Filter:
- Regular maintenance helps to ensure your air purifier continues performing at its best. Keep the area surrounding the air purifier clean. Also, periodically wipe down the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth, and be sure to vacuum any dust buildup on the exterior or interior of the unit, especially on the air intake grilles located on each side.
- The large permanent pre-filter is the first filter you see when you remove the unit's front panel. Its job is to capture large particles, thus preserving the life of the HEPA and Advanced Carbon filters. Periodically inspect the permanent pre-filter, and rinse with clean water or vacuum using your vacuum's brush attachment to keep the machine performing well and to save on filter replacements.
Replacement Parts and Frequency:
The PCO300 comes equipped with four (4) indicator lights that alert you when it's time to replace the filters, UV bulb, and Silverscreen™ trays. Indicators will light based on actual time of use, and assume the following normal usage, running 24/7.
- HEPA Filter (one required ‐ Vornado Part # MD1-0022) ‒ indicator illuminates after 9,000 hours of run time (about once per year).
- Advanced Carbon Filter (one required ‐ Vornado Part # MD1-0027) ‒ indicator illuminates after 9,000 hours of run time (about once per year).
- UV Bulb Tray (one required ‐ Vornado Part # MD1-0026) ‒ indicator illuminates after 9,000 hours of run time (about once per year).
Note: To ensure the effectiveness of the UV spectrum, the UV Bulb Tray should be replaced according to the unit's alert notification even if the bulb is still functioning. - Silverscreen™ Trays (2 required ‐ Vornado Part # MD1-0024 [2-Pack]) ‒ indicator illuminates after 45,000 hours of run time (about once every 5 years).
Please remember that service life is related to the volume of air that passes through the air purifier and the amount of contaminants in the air. If your indoor air has an unusually high level of airborne particulates, smoke or gaseous contaminants, service life may be shortened, and likewise may be lengthened when air pollutants are typically lower.
All genuine Vornado replacement parts for the PCO300 are available through National Allergy.
