be replaced, provided the appliance is used as inten-
ded in the household.

timum power level, the Hepa filter should be rinsed out
after one year. The filtering action of the filter remains
intact, even if the filter surface becomes discoloured.

Once the Hepa filter has dried completely (at least 24
hours), insert it back into the appliance and lock it
in place.

ment, etc.), clean the motor protection filter by tapping

the power cord from the mains before cleaning the va-
cuum cleaner.
