2 Grab the release tabs of the HEPA lter cover to open and remove the lter cover (Fig. 50).
3 Take out the washable HEPA 13 lter (Fig. 51).
4 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 13 lter under a hot slow-running tap (Fig. 52).
Be careful with hot water. Always check if the water is not too hot, to prevent your hands from
getting burnt.
- Hold the lter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and the water ows parallel
to the pleats. Hold the lter at an angle so that the water washes away the dirt inside the pleats.
- Turn the lter 180° and let the water ow along the pleats in the opposite direction (Fig. 53).
- Continue this process until the lter is clean.
Never clean the washable lter with a brush (Fig. 54).
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the lter, but does restore its ltration power.
5 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the lter.
6 Let the HEPA lter dry completely.
7 Place the dry HEPA lter back into the appliance (Fig. 55).
8 Reattach the top of the lter cover (1) and then close the cover (2) (‘click’) (Fig. 56).
