4 Maintenance
The filters can get dirty during use and therefore must be checked regularly:
Clean the filters as described below.
Keep the checking and cleaning intervals given below.
Replace damaged or deformed filters immediately.
Your appliance is equipped with the following 5 filters:
Central laminar filter (Fig. 15/1)
- Cleaning: The central laminar filter is protected by filter sieve and filter fleece. Both do extend the
checking and servicing intervals of the central laminar filter, but they by no means eliminate the need for
checking / cleaning the central laminar filter regularly.
Clean this filter according to the degree of soiling, but at least once per month
chapter 4.3, „Cleaning / changing central laminar filter and motor protection filter"
- Changing: If the central laminar filter is very dirty or it is no longer possible to clean it, replace it with a
new one.
