You will have access to the HEPA filter when you have re-
leased the dust container.
Rinse the inside of the filter using lukewarm tap water. Do
not use any cleaning agents and avoid touching the filter
surface. Tap the filter to remove the excess water. Make
sure to let the filter dry before putting it back into the vacuum
cleaner.
If necessary, exchange the filter.

HEPA filter.
