Cleaning a washable (H)EPA filter
The (H)EPA filter with the "washable" imprint is desig-
ned so that it does not need to be replaced, provided
the appliance is used as intended in the household.
To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op-
timum power level, the exhaust filter should be rinsed
out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re-
mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco-
loured.
