 | Mr Beam Air Filter System has two filter parts, which need to be replaced from time to time: 1. pre-filter (pre-filter mat) for rough particles 2. main filter consisting of a HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter |

What happens when the Air Filter is full?
When the capacity of the main filter is exhausted, the filter can no longer absorb smoke and particles. As a result, both smoke and particles remain in the Mr Beam housing. This in turn leads to sharp smells and is primarily visible through the smoke in the device. The particles floating around will cause the cutting and engraving results to deteriorate.
In addition, components of the Mr Beam (e.g. the compressor) may be damaged.
How do I know that the Air Filter is full?
- Is there smoke and increased smell inside the case of your Mr Beam?
- Is the fan in the AirFilter spinning faster than usual, making louder noises?
- Open the Air Filter system and check the following:
| 1. Check the contamination of the pre-filter mat. If it has lost its pink color, it must be replaced. |
2. Check the contamination of the main filter. If the fins under the grid show a yellowish or brownish color, the filter should be replaced. full main filter (left), new main filter (right) |
- What does the software show you about the status of your filter (Settings>Maintenance)? Please be aware that this is only an average value. If you work a lot with leather, wood or gray cardboard, for example, the filter will fill up faster than if you work only with acrylic, felt or foam rubber. This means that the filter can be full even before the display is at 100%. So make a regular visual check of the condition of your filters.
