Cleaning the Filters
Note
■ This appliance should be maintained regularly
by the user.
■ Low suction power or damage to the appliance
may occur if the filters of this appliance are not
cleaned.
■ We advise you to clean HEPA filter regularly
(e.g. after every two operations or in a shorter
time). If the suction power is low, please clean
the filters before operating the appliance.
■ Dust and dirt blocking the filters should always
be cleaned.
■ All filters should be cleaned at least after
every two operations and should be replaced
every 6 months or a year due to the usage
conditions of your vacuum cleaner.
1 To remove the dust blocking the filter, gently
tap the HEPA output filter W on a hard
surface
2 Use a small brush (not included in this model)
to clean the outer surface of the HEPA filter.
Thus, you can remove the rough part of the
dust.
3 Wash the filter in warm water.
4 Repeat this process and wait until it is
completely dried by itself naturally. Do not use
any heating device for drying.
Note
■ Do not use cleaning agents and do not touch
unnecessarily the delicate filter surface.
■ Always ensure that both filters and appliance

cleaning or maintenance operations.
■ White coating of the HEPA filter shall become
paler in time. This is normal and does not affect
the performance of the filter.
■ Foam filter T , motor protection filter U
and HEPA outlet filter should be cleaned
regularly. You can wash the filters with liquid
soap and then use them when they are dried.
Filters should be cleaned after every two
operations; otherwise, the suction power may
