3 • Cleaning the HEPA filter
Your vacuum cleaner is fitted with a HEPA filter (5b3).
If you notice your vacuum cleaner losing power, then we recommend that you clean the HEPA filter to
retain vacuum performance:
- remove the cover from the vacuum cleaner
(Fig. 12)
- remove the dust container by sliding it slightly downwards
(Fig. 13)
then remove the dust contai-
ner cap (5c)
- pull out the HEPA
(Fig. 19-20-21)
filter and tap it lightly over a waste container
(Fig. 22)
Replace the HEPA filter inside the dust container cap, refit the dust container elements, then refit the
complete assembly onto the vacuum cleaner. Refit the vacuum cleaner cover (7).
4 • Clean your vacuum cleaner
Wipe the body of the appliance and the accessories with a soft damp cloth and then dry.
