CLEANING OR REPLACING THE HEPA FILTER
The HEPA filter cleans the air one more time before it is ejected by the vacuum cleaner. Clean the HEPA filter at least once every six months or when it is very dusty. When the HEPA filter is damaged, it must be replaced by a new original filter.

Attention

• Only use the vacuum cleaner when all filters have been placed. If not, the suction power could be reduced or the motor could be damaged.
• Torn or not properly sealing filters could damage the motor. When a filter is defective, it must be replaced by a new original filter.
