3. Remove the hygienic exhaust filter (Fig. 28).
4. Tap the dirt out of the hygienic exhaust filter over a

5. Should this be insufficient, remove the dirt from the filter
with a soft brush, e.g. the furniture brush supplied with
the appliance.
6. If such dry cleaning is insufficient, thoroughly rinse the
filter by hand in running clear cold or hand-warm water.
ATTENTION:
The filter is washable, but it may not be cleaned in
dishwashers or washing-machines. Also, do not use
detergents or brushes with hard bristles to clean the
filters. Let the filter dry for approx 24 hours at room
temperature after washing it. Only put it back in place
when it is completely dry.
7. If the filter is damaged or deformed, replace it (ordering
information ZChapter 6.1, "Accessories and Spare
Parts").

ATTENTION:
Clean the outside of the housing using a slightly damp
cloth only. Do not use cleansing or scouring agents or
alcohol, as these might damage the appliance.
