Default RE: Cleaning air filter

ORIGINAL: berettag



I would not, on the other hand, put a clean filter on the floor in front of a refrigerator, where it will have all that dust and stuff blown back in, that I just cleaned out of it. That's just me.
Do you have a pile of dust in front of your refridgerator every morning when you get up? If so, tell your old lady she ain't doing a very good job cleaning the house. Tell her she needs to vacuum the coils and vent on the fridge every now and then.


Anyway, I guess a careful man can dry his with an air compressor. For the rest of us, we'll just have to follow the directions....
DRY
After rinsing, gently shake off excess water and allow filter to dry naturally. Do not proceed to the oiling step until the filter is completely dry.
CAUTION: THE USE OF ANY OTHER DRYING METHODS (I.E. COMPRESSED AIR, DRYER HEATERS, HEAT GUNS) COULD DAMAGE FILTER.

I knew I'd get a reply like that... don't have a wife, but I do have a German Shapherd that sheds a lot. And yes I brush him ever night.

Next time I'm at the Dealer, or an Indy, I'll take a peak at the floor in front of their refrigerators to see all the filters they're servicing. [sm=laughingsmilie.gif]
