• Depending on models: either equipment specific to cer- tain models or available as an optional accessory.8 The air we breathe contains particles that may be allergens: mite larvae and droppings, mould, pollen, smoke and animal residues (hair, skin, saliva, urine). The smallest particles penetrate deep into the respiratory system where they can cause inflammation and lung impairment.HEPA filters (High Efficiency Particulate Air) are used to filter out the smallest particles. With the HEPA filter, the air released back into the room is healthier than the air that is vacuumed. 1 • Changing the bag The change bag light tells you that the bag is full or saturated. If you notice that your vacuum cleaner is not working as well as it should be, turn the power up to maximum and hold the lifted nozzle above the floor. If the light stays red, replace the bag. a) If your vacuum cleaner is fitted with a Wonderbag* (18a) : IIMPORTANT Wonderbag* UNIVERSAL (Classic, Freshline, Endura ref.
