Cleaning the exhaust filter
The exhaust filter is designed so that it does not need
to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as
intended in the household.
To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its
optimum power level, the exhaust filter should be
rinsed out after 1 year. The filtering action of the filter
remains intact, even if the filter surface becomes
discoloured.
