filter side for my Airsense 11

Post by Mecate13 » Thu Jan 09, 2025 2:04 pm

Well, this is really dumb...I know how to replace the filter but which side of the filter is to be facing the machine. Many thanks.

The clean side.

It depends on the type of filter.

Generally the "fuzzy" side (if there is one) goes facing outwards.
If you can't really tell if one side is fuzzier than the other then it doesn't really matter.

Thank you Pugsy. I'll use the 'fuzzier side' . Thank you.

The clean side.
When I put a new filter in, both sides are clean, I just didn't know if it was the fuzzy side or the very slightly shiny side.

I prefer non fuzzy side filters due to having found some fuzzy sides to have fibers that come loose easily.
