How do you take out filter to clean
865848
I have four of these, two newer ones and two older models. If you mean the truman cell, it pulls straight up. If you mean the pre-filter in front of the truman cell it also pulls straight up. If you mean the odor filter behind the truman cell, it depends on the model. Older one pulled straight up to remove it, the newer models, as far as I can see, can't be removed and you'll have to take it in for service. However, neither of them can be washed and I just use the provided brush to clean or if they appear to be really dirty I use a vacuum attachment.

its pretty evident. lift up the cover and you will see the filter(s) assemblies, lift either one and the 2nd can be pulled out afterwards. wash with water and let thourougly dry then re assemble the same sequence you took it out.

That is not the problem. I returned the one I purchased because even when you clean the element the machine does not work properly. The light that indicated it needs cleaning stays on. Oreck will not stand behind the product. I followed the directions to clean the unit and did it over and over. It takes way longer to clean that they advertise. My unit could have been defected, but Oreck insisted I didn't clean it properly. I am not the only person to have this issue. Interestingly Amazon asked me about the unit. I actually purchased the one I had at Costco.

Remove the filler tank and locate the filter at the bottom of the rubber tube. You should be able to easily pull it off. It not, just take some scissors and clip it off as close to the filter as possible. Hope this helps you. Mine is still working fine and does what it is supposed to do.

If you have good water in your area, you can clean by removing the filter, letting it dry it and wiping it clean. If you have hard water, you can clean by removing the filter, letting it dry, grab dry filter with both hands and letting it drop about 2' from flat dry and clean surface. This should be done a few times in order to remove any mineral content stuck in the honeycomb filter.

Open it?? Haven't tried that (...don't think I would recommend it). But filters can be removed for cleaning. Instructions show how.

The new filter is on the stick. Place the other end in old filter, twist and pull out. Push new filter in and pull out. Your good for another month.

Standing in front of the unit, look down. On the back of the unit on each corner you will find a triangle. Press on them and push away from the unit and the back will open. The filter is in the section you just removed.

You clean it with a damp sponge. If that doesn't clean it completely, you can wash it with soapy water. You have to make sure it is completely dry before putting it back in. You never need a replacement filter.

Have you taken the filter apart? The whole filter assembly can be taken apart and washed.

The filter is washable and getting it out is not a big deal. We've run this for weeks at a time and I've never had a problem with it to date.

Typically they come with two of the actual filters. When the one in the unit gets too much stuff in it, turn it inside out and use a soft bristle toothbrush to scrape most of the filtered mess into the trash. Then put the clean one in the unit and throw the dirty one in your next load of wash (still inside out). When the load of wash is done just hang out the filter to dry (not to insult your intelligence but don't try them in the dryer.)

I remove the filter media and either blow the dust off using compressed air. Or, you can use a small, soft bristle, brush to,lightly, scrub the dust off. Perhaps a small, hand held, vacuum will suck the dust off. I haven't tried to wash it or rinse it off...that may work as well. Personally, I blow my debris off using compressed air at low pressure.

You would need to remove the "cell" and then the filter is exposed. Try using a small screwdriver or knife, slide into filter, lift up and out.

I don't know how to clean it. I think we need to order new filters. I love mine too and will have to go to the web site to see about ordering new filters.

Squeeze in the center of the old filter and pull it out. There is a square one and a round one. Put in the new filters the same way - work them into the top of the lid until they are smooth. Square one first then the round one.
