ter elements from one another (Fig. 13/C). Remove larger agglomera-
tions of dirt by hand.
4. If the filter elements are still dirty, thoroughly rinse them by hand until
all dirt is gone (Fig. 14/A).

The filter elements are washable, but may not be cleaned in dishwash-
ers or washing-machines. Also, do not use detergents or brushes with
hard bristles to clean them. Let the filters dry for approx 24 hours at
room temperature after cleaning. Only put them back into the appliance
when they are completely dry.

(ZChapter 6.2, "Spare parts and accessories").
