efficiency, we advise you to:
1. Clean the dust filter weekly.
2. Replace the air filters at the end of each
season or when necessary (follow the
instructions on the appliance near the fil-
ter).

To clean the filters:
1. Remove the intake grills by rotating them

dirty, immerse in warm water (not more than
40° C) and rinse thoroughly.
Allow the filter to dry. To replace, fit the filters
to the intake grill and attach to the applian-
ce.
Do not try to clean the 3M filter as this could
result in a reduction of filter capacity.
