HEPA filter
You can determine with which HEPA filter your appli-
ance is equipped by looking at the imprint on the filter
frame next to the reference number:
‡
"washable" – the filter can be washed.
‡
No additional imprint – the filter must be replaced.
Cleaning a washable HEPA filter
The HEPA filter with the "washable" imprint is designed
so that it does not need to be replaced, provided the
appliance is used as intended in the household.
To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op-
timum power level, the exhaust filter should be rinsed
out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re-
mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco-
loured.
