aem short air intake filter question

I have an AEM intake but i don't know how to clean it. I think i've been driving with it for a year now, so i think its about time to clean it.

Is there a process to clean it?
How simple is it?
Can someone give me details?

Thanks in advance.

Just by the K&N Air Filter cleaner at any auto store. Spray the cleaner on the filter and then hose off. Once the filter is dry, spray the supplied oil, making sure to get an even and thin coat. That's it.

I like to clean my filter every 10-15K miles.

I was wondering how long the filter takes to dry, becuase i don't want to sit around the house all day waiting to drive my car.

thanks for the help

That's why I bought 2 filters. Always have a clean one to put in.

A couple of days at most, and a day if it's nice a sunny out.
