Replace the Air Filter
Use the following instructions to replace an expired air filter every six months.
The air filter is a single-use rectangular cartridge that covers the fan on the right side of the instrument. It ensures proper cooling and prevents debris from entering the system. The instrument is shipped with one air filter. Additional spares are included with a valid instrument service contract, or they can be purchased separately from Illumina.
