1 To open the HEPA filter grille, grab the tabs and pull it upwards (Fig. 31).
2 Take the HEPA 12 filter out of the appliance (Fig. 32).
3 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 12 filter under a hot slow-running tap.
- 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 (Fig. 33).
- Turn the filter 180° and let the water flow along the pleats in opposite direction (Fig. 34).
- Continue this process until the filter is clean.
Never clean the washable filter with a brush (Fig. 35).
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.
Note: Make sure that the filter is completely dry before you put it back into the appliance.
5 Put the filter back into the appliance (Fig. 36).
Note: Make sure that the two lugs of the HEPA filter point downwards.
6 To close the HEPA filter grille, first align the top of the grille with the appliance (1). Then
press the tabs downwards until the grille locks into place (2) ('click') (Fig. 37).
