Pull off the filter cover (22) which is just
pressed on to the HEPA filter, Figure 14.
The filter can be hand washed with water
and a mild detergent.
Once the HEPA filter is cleaned and dried,
push the filter cover back on and fit the as-
sembly back into its housing by turning it
clockwise until it locks into position.
Close the lid (19).
Fit the container back into its housing on
the vacuum cleaner, Figure 15.
IMPORTANT: Leave the HEPA filter to dry for
24 hours before refitting it.
Replacing the air inlet and outlet filters
Remove the air outlet grille (10) by pressing
the release clips down and rocking it off
gently, Figure 16. Extract the filter support
and remove the filter, Figure 17.
To remove the air inlet filter (23), open the
container lid (19), Figure 12. Remove the fil-
ter attached to the inside of the lid, Figure
18.
Ufesa recommends that the permanent
HEPA filter and air outlet filter (11) and air
inlet filter (23) be replaced yearly (depen-
ding on use). You can get these replace-
ments at your local shopping centre or
from an Authorised Dealer.
Important: The vacuum cleaner must ne-
ver be switched on unless these filters are
fitted correctly.
To guarantee trouble-free operation, use
only original Ufesa parts.
