Expert Review
If you're noticing that your Buffalo steriliser cabinet isn't quite clearing the air like it used to, a clogged carbon filter is the usual suspect. This AK989 replacement is the exact part you'll need for the upper slot. It’s a doddle to change – just slide the old one out and pop this new one in. No tools, no fuss, and it gets your unit back to peak performance instantly.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always switch off the unit before filter replacement.
- Check and replace filter every 3-6 months.
- Ensure filter is seated correctly to prevent bypass.
- Keep the filter housing clear of dust and debris.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I replace this upper carbon filter?
A: For best results in a commercial setting, we recommend replacing it every 3 to 6 months, depending on how heavily the steriliser is used.
Q: Is this the only filter in the FS132 UVC steriliser cabinet?
A: No, the FS132 model uses both this upper carbon filter (AK989) and a separate lower filter. You should inspect both regularly.
Q: Do I need any special tools for installation?
A: No, this filter is designed for a simple, tool-free installation. It can be easily accessed and swapped out by hand in under a minute.
