Clean the Permanent Motor Protection Filter every time you empty or replace the dustbag.

the bottom (fig. 28).

Activated Carbon Filter
Instead of with the Motor Protection Filter, the appliance can be equipped with an Activated Carbon
Filter.This filter neutralises smells produced by the dirt in the dustbag.
Replace the Activated Carbon Filter every six months or when you notice that smell absorption
becomes less effective.
◗
To replace the Activated Carbon Filter, see the Motor Protection Filter section above. Instead
of cleaning the filter, you have to insert a new filter.

HEPA filter
Instead of with the AFS Micro Filter, some types are equipped with the special HEPA Filter.The
HEPA Filter is able to remove 99.99% of all particles down to 0.0003 mm in size from the outlet air.
This not only includes normal house dust, but also harmful microscopic vermin such as house dust
mites and their excrements, which are well-known causes of respiratory allergies.
◗
The HEPA filter can be replaced in the same way as the ASF Micro Filter. Replace the HEPA
filter every six months.
