Gently wash the air cleaner in clean, non-flammable (high flash point) solvent such as kerosene — not gasoline. After cleaning, gently squeeze out the remaining solvent. Avoid twisting or wringing the air cleaner. This can tear the foam.

Inspect for tears or cracks in the foam or seams of the air cleaner. Replace the air cleaner if it is damaged.
