When emptying the dust container, always check how
dirty the fluff filter is and, if necessary, clean it as
detailed in the “Cleaning the fluff filter” instructions.
Cleaning the fluff filter
The fluff filter should be cleaned at regular intervals
in order to ensure optimum operation of the vacuum
cleaner. It is usually sufficient to lightly shake or tap
out the filter housing when the dust container is emp-
tied in order to dislodge any particles of dirt.
!
Caution: the fluff filter must not be cleaned under
running water.
The (H)EPA filter is designed so that it does not need
to be replaced if the appliance is used as intended for
household cleaning. To ensure that the vacuum clea-
ner keeps working at its optimum performance level,
the (H)EPA filter should be rinsed clean after approx.
3 years. The filtering effect of this filter in maintained,
even though the filter surface may become discolou-
red.
