HEPA inlet filter: in case of heavy impurity or poor vacuum cleaner performance, replace it with a new
one. We recommend replacing it once every 6 months.
HEPA outlet filter: in case of heavy impurity or poor vacuum cleaner performance, replace it with a new
one. We recommend replacing it once every 12 months.
WARNING

Failure to clean or replace the filters can lead to a vacuum cleaner failure!

Do not use any aggressive detergents or cleaning agents or hot water to clean the filters.

To maintain the filtration parameters of the HEPA filter, we recommend dry cleaning.

If you decide to wash the HEPA filter with water, its filtration capacity will be reduced. The maximum
number of filter washes is 3 times, then it is necessary to purchase a new HEPA filter.

Replace the filters if they can no longer be cleaned properly or are damaged.

The filters are not dishwasher safe.

Make sure that the seating surfaces and sealing elements are clean and functional.

Before putting the filters back in the vacuum cleaner, make sure that they are completely dry, ideally
after 24 hours.
All of the above instructions are very important if you feel that the vacuum cleaner has poor
performance or is poorly vacuuming dirt from the floor. This condition is a clear indication that the
vacuum cleaner's filtration system requires cleaning.
IMPORTANT - never use the vacuum cleaner without HEPA filters installed!
