super Clean air hEPa 12 filter/ultra Clean air hEPa 13 filter

This appliance is equipped with either the Super Clean Air HEPA 12 filter or the Ultra Clean Air 

HEPA 13 filter. These filters are located in the back of the appliance. They are able to remove 99.5% 

and 99.95% respectively of all par ticles down to 0.0003mm in size from the outlet air. This not only 

includes normal house dust, but also harmful microscopic vermin such as dust mites and their 

excrements, which are well-known causes of respirator y allergies.

Note: To guarantee optimal dust retention and performance of the vacuum cleaner, always replace the 

HEPA filter with an original Philips filter of the correct type (see chapter ‘Ordering accessories’).

 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 13 filter under a hot slow-running tap.

 - Hold the filter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and the water flows parallel 

to the pleats. Hold the filter at an angle so that the water washes away the dir t inside the 

pleats (Fig. 31).

 - Turn the filter 180° and let the water flow along the pleats in opposite direction (Fig. 32).

 - Continue this process until the filter is clean.

Never clean the washable filter with a brush (Fig. 33).

Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore its filtration power.

before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner.
