CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR OUTLET FILTER
1. Open the air outlet grille at the back of the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 5).
2. Remove the air outlet filter. This filter can be cleaned by mechanical tapping and
cleaning with a soft brush. A much soiled filter can be washed after this step and
cleaned with a soft brush in lukewarm water without detergents. It is important to
let the wet parts dry thoroughly. A wet filter would be depleted by vacuuming! Do
not use a hair dryer for drying!
Note: Wet cleaning can cause more wear on the filter and thereby shortening its
life.
3. Insert a clean or new air outlet filter into the vacuum cleaner and close the air
outlet grille.
