- Hold the filter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and
the water flows parallel to the pleats. Hold the filter at an angle so that
the water washes away the dirt inside the pleats.
- Turn the filter 180° and let the water flow along the pleats in opposite
direction.
- Continue this process until the filter is clean.
Never clean the washable filter with a brush.
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore
its filtration power.
4 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the filter. Let the filter
dry at least 2 hours before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner.
5 Put the filter back into the appliance. Reattach the top of the filter
grille and push the bottom corners until they snap home ('click').
