CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR OUTLET FILTER
1. Open the air outlet grid in the appliance‘s rear section (Fig. 6).
2. Remove the air outlet filter. This type of vacuum cleaner is equipped with an
H.E.P.A. filter in the outlet (Fig. 7), which is capable of catching even very fine
dust particles. You can clean this filter by tapping and shaking, and then with
a soft brush. After this operation is complete, you can clean a very dirty filter
by washing and rubbing with a soft brush in lukewarm water without any
cleaning agents added. It is
important
to let the wet parts dry thoroughly.
A wet filter would get damaged by vacuum cleaning!
Do not use a hair
dryer for drying!
Note:
Wet cleaning may cause more wear and tear of the filter and,
consequently, shorten its service life.
3. Insert the cleaned or new air outlet filter into the appliance and close the air
outlet grid.
