Dear Customer; Vacuum Cleaner - Kärcher DS 5500 Operation Manual

Dear Customer

This vacuum cleaner features a completely new
Kärcher water filter system which picks up even
the smallest particles. The additional HEPA-Plus
high-performance filter catches all allergens.
99.99 % of all particles over 0.3 µm in size are
removed from the exhaust air which is then
cleaner than the ambient air.
