Changing the Filter Pad

Burn Risk Use protective cloth or glove when disconnecting the filter union or severe burns could result. If the filter pan is moved while full of oil, use care to prevent splashing, or severe burns could result.

NOTE: If filter pad has not been changed, a reminder shows on the display, “CHANGE PAD”. Press “✓” button to cancel the message, but it reappears every 4 minutes until the filter pad has been changed.
