Slide the catch of the exhaust filter cover to the side (Fig. 12/A) and re-
move the exhaust filter cover.
3.
Remove the hygienic exhaust filter by pulling the tab provided for this
purpose (Fig. 12/B).

If you discover that the hygienic exhaust filter is dirty, brush off the dirt
with a soft, dry brush, such as the furniture brush supplied.

If such dry cleaning is insufficient, rinse the filter by hand in running cold
or hand-warm water.

If the filter is damaged or deformed, replace it (ordering information
