Cleaning the filters (J)
model without dust bag
This model comprises two Pure Clean Hepa 13
filters. The Pure Clean Hepa 13 filter ensures
maximum protection against allergens and
high air quality, because the air given back by
the appliance is entirely free from dust/powder
residues (filtering power > 99.95 %).
We advise you to clean the filter at least
every 4 months to restore its filtering
power. In any case we recommend replacing the
filter at least every year to ensure maximum
performance.
