【Mrefilter】Air filter cleaning

When maintaining the air filter, carefully check the color and contrast of the filter paper on the inner and outer surfaces of the paper filter element. The color of the used filter element is gray-black due to the deposit of dust on the outer surface of the side in contact with the atmosphere; The inner surface of the filter paper facing the air inlet should still show its natural color. If the dust on the outer surface of the filter element is removed and the original color of the filter paper can be revealed, the filter element can continue to be used.
