Cleaning the (H)EPA* exhaust filter
The (H)EPA* filter is designed 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
optimum power level, the (H)EPA* filter should be
rinsed out after one year. The filtering action of the
filter remains intact, even if the filter surface becomes
discoloured.

Tap out the filter unit and rinse it under running

Alternatively, the unit can be cleaned in a washing
machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle programme
and the lowest spin speed.
TIP: To protect other laundry items, put the filter
unit into a laundry bag.

Once the (H)EPA* filter has dried completely (at
least 24 hours), insert it back into the appliance
and lock it in place.

Close the rear flap.
After vacuuming fine dust particles (e.g. gypsum,
cement, etc.), clean the motor protection filter by
tapping it out or, if necessary, replace the motor pro-
tection filter and exhaust filter.
Care
Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect
the power cord from the mains before cleaning the

vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be
cleaned with a commercial plastic cleaner.
!
Do not use a scourer, glass-cleaning agent or
multi-purpose cleaning products. Never immerse
the vacuum cleaner in water.
The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned
with a second vacuum cleaner or simply wiped with a
dry cloth or dusting brush.
