4. CLEANING THE HEPA FILTER (14b) The air we breathe contains particles that can be allergenic: larva and dust mite faeces, mould, pollen, smoke, and animal waste (hair, skin, saliva, urine). The finest of these particles penetrate deeply into the respiratory system, where they can cause inflammation and alter the respiratory function as a whole. (H)EPA ([High] Efficiency Air Particle Filter) filters retain even the smallest particles. Thanks to the (H)EPA filter, the air that is expelled back into the room is cleaner than the air vacuumed. Important! Remember to clean the HEPA filter case (14) [black foam filter (14a) and HEPA filter (14b)] every month. • Pull simultaneously on the opening clips (13d) of the HEPA filter case - Fig.19. • Separate the black foam filter (14a) from the HEPA filter (14b) - Fig. 20. • Turn the HEPA filter (14b) over and tap the dust into a dustbin - fig. 37. • Then scrape the HEPA filter under warm water using the accessory (18b), then leave the HEPA filter to dry for 24h - Fig. 38. • Once the foam is completely dry, assemble the HEPA filter case (14): black foam filter (14a) and HEPA filter (14b) under the dust tray (13) – Fig. 22, then replace the dust tray inside its compartment (7) – Fig. 18. • Ensure that the HEPA filter (14b) is completely dry before you put it back in the appliance. Warning! Make sure that the whole filter system is well placed before starting your appliance again.
