into the appliance. (Fig. 28)
Cleaning and replacing the filters
Caution: Do not use any other filters. Use only original Philips HEPA filters. For more
information on ordering HEPA filters, see chapter 'Ordering accessories'.
Note: In case of normal use you do not have to replace the main filter.
Note: Only replace the foam filter when it is very dirty and cannot be cleaned properly or when it is
damaged.
Cleaning the foam filter and the main filter
Caution: For the best performance, clean both the main filter and the foam filter at least 4 times
a year.
Caution: Do not attempt to make the filter yourself, but only use an original Philips filter.
1 Remove the dust bucket and pull the main filter towards you (Fig. 29).
2 Take the blue foam filter out of the main filter. (Fig. 30)
Tip: To prevent dirty hands, you can use the tag to remove the filter.
3 Clean the foam filter and the main filter under the tap (Fig. 31).
Never use a brush or cleaning agent to clean the foam filter and the main filter. Do not clean
them in the washing machine or dishwasher either.
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but it does restore its filtration power.
4 Wring out the blue foam filter (Fig. 32).
5 Let the foam filter and the main filter dry for at least 24 hours, out of direct sunlight (Fig. 33).
Make sure that the foam filter and the main filter are completely dry.
Do not dry the foam filter and the main filter on the radiator or in the tumble dryer.
6 Press the foam filter back into the main filter. (Fig. 34)
7 Reattach the main filter to the dust bucket (Fig. 35).
