HEPA 13 filter
The HEPA 13 filter is able to remove 99.95% of all particles down to
0.0003mm in 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.
Note: To guarantee optimal dust retention and performance of the vacuum
cleaner, always replace the HEPA filter every 2 years with an original Philips
filter of the correct type (see chapter 'Ordering accessories'). You can dispose
of the old filter with the normal household waste.
Replacing the HEPA 13 filter
1 Open the filter grille.
2 Take out the washable HEPA 13 filter.
3 Put the filter back into the appliance.
4 Close the filter grille and push the bottom corners until they snap
home.
Note: For optimal results, replace the HEPA 13 filter every 2 years. If you want
to minimise the impact on the environment, you can wash the HEPA 13 filter.
Washing the HEPA 13 filter (FC917x series only)
To wash the HEPA 13 filter, follow the instructions below.
1 Rinse the HEPA 13 filter under a hot slow-running tap.
Never clean the filter with a brush.
2 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the filter. Let the filter
dry completely for at least 2 hours before you put it back into the
vacuum cleaner.
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore
its filtration power.
