size from the outlet air. This not only includes normal house dust, but also harmful microscopic
vermin such as dust mites and their excrements, which are well-known causes of respiratory
allergies.
Clean the washable Ultra Clean Air HEPA 13 filter every 6 months. You can clean the washable
Ultra Clean Air HEPA 13 filter max. 4 times. Replace the filter after it has been cleaned 4 times.
1 Remove the filter grille (Fig. 29).
2 Take out the washable HEPA 13 filter (Fig. 30).
 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 13 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. 31).
- Turn the filter 180° and let the water flow along the pleats in opposite direction (Fig. 32).
- Continue this process until the filter is clean.
Never clean the washable filter with a brush (Fig. 33).
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore its filtration power.
 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.
5 Put the filter back into the appliance. Reattach the top of the filter grille and push the bottom
corners until they snap home ('click') (Fig. 34).
