"About once every week, once every couple of weeks, again depending on how frequently you're using the nebulizer, you're going to want to clean out the air filter. The air filter is what helps the machine running smoothly, catching debris from the air so that it's not clogging up the mechanics of the compressor. On this particular machine, you can see right here this is where the hose goes into. Right next to it there's a little cap. You can just take this right here and just gently pry it open, it's not too hard to come out. Now as you can see right there, there is the air filter. These two parts will separate out and what you want to do is just wash this in some warm soapy water which I happen to have over here. Just kind of squeeze the air filter back and forth between your thumb and your finger, making sure that you thoroughly clean it out. And then again you're going to want to take the clean water and rinse it thoroughly. Squeeze it and shake off the excess water. And then you just set it on a clean surface to dry and then once it's fully dried, then you can replace it."
