i would first learn for certain what type it is.
last thing you want to do is wash a non renewable filter...
or wash an oiled filter without reoiling....
In a pinch you can wash a dryflow filter with just clean filtered water, but its better to use the cleaning solution.
dunk it in a bucket, and swish it like a washing machine.
but DONT allow any water in the hole, only through the element,
you have to keep all contaminants out of the middle.
once youve given it a good rinse, shake and spin most of the water off and let it dry.
AEM filters dry very quickly because they have water resistant properties,
but I left mine in front of a fan overnight to be certain.
