filter cleAning And replAcement
We recommend that you periodically
check the air filters to make sure that they
work correctly. Clean the filters if you de-
tect that the appliance's suction capacity
has decreased.
Clean the filters using tap water, and allow
them to dry completely. Do not use a hair dr-
yer to dry the filters.
It is advisable to replace the filters once or
twice a year, depending on how often the
appliance is used.
