cleaner. Run the attachment along the inlet and outlet side of the filter, cleaning between the
crevices as much as possible. Do not use water or any household cleaners or detergents to

HEPA type Filter.
»We recommend that under normal conditions of continuous use, the filters be cleaned
every month to maintain optimal functioning.
