What is the best way to clean this filter when it gets fingerprints and dust on it?

I personally use microfiber cloth; make sure the cloth is clean and free from oils to begin with. I also used Kimberly-Clark EX-L delicate task wipers with eye-glasses cleaning solution as well.

There is a finger loop on the filter on the back side of the heater. Just pull gently away from the heater and the plastic filter assembly pops out. Clean by washing with dish soapy water, or brushing. At the end of each heating season, I like to clean the 5 ceramic discs by blowing air through the front of the heater. No need to remove the discs-just remove the dust filter. To re-install, insert the bottom of the plastic filter assembly into the heater housing then snap in the top ( where the finger loop is) into place.

You press open on top and remove the filters for cleaning (see cleaning instructions). When placing the filters back, the word "Front" faces you. While the filters are out, I use a damp cloth and carefully wipe the inside--be aware there is a wire inside. Gentle cleaning is key.

There is a cartridge filter that you take out and use a hose to clean it. The filter works great and well worth the cost.

I clean my Filter every Week, just to keep it clean. I soak it in Vinegar and water 50/50 for about 10 hours.

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."

No problem - you can remove it as often as you like. You just want to keep it as clean as possible; removing it will expose the back of the filter to dust.

You can used it over and over. Remove the filter from the vacuum and clean any loose dust from the filter, wash the filter in warm water soapy water. Let it dry before you used again. Do not use a washer machine or you will destroy it.

emptying the dust bin and cleaning the filter is a very easy 30-second job if you don't mind getting your hands dusty. The instructions explain how to do it.

Have you soaked it in cold water for 15 minutes and then scrub it ? Thats what the directions say. Also I know there are some phony filters out there. Where did you get it ? You need to call the filter company if you have tried soaking it etc and they can send you a good one. Hope this helps you.

I remove the regular filters and put them in the slots where the regular filters go, put it all together and run. Then I throw away the blue spring cleanup filters that are soooooo dirty when it is finished running. Hope this helps.

There is a filter element on each side of the filter that can be replaced if they are dirty, Check for filter replacements using the 3m mask number.
