2 Take the motor protection lter holder out of the appliance. Take the lter out of the holder
(Fig. 26).
3 Shake the lter over a dustbin to clean it.
4 Reinsert the lter into the holder with the white side pointing towards the dustbag
compartment. Press the holder down rmly to make sure that it ts properly at the bottom
(Fig. 27).
5 Place the dustbag holder with the dustbag back into the appliance (Fig. 25).
The Super Clean Air lter located in the back of the appliance lters a large part of the smaller
particles from the exhaust air with its electrostatically charged bres.
Replace the Super Clean Air lter every six months.
1 Open the lter grille (Fig. 28).
2 Remove the old lter.
3 Insert the new lter into the appliance (Fig. 29).
4 Close the lter grille (‘click’) (Fig. 30).
Instead of with the Super Clean Air lter, some types are equipped with the washable Super Clean
Air HEPA 12 lter. This lter is able to remove 99.5% of all particles down to 0.0003mm 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.
Clean the Super Clean Air HEPA 12 lter every 6 months. You can clean the washable Super Clean
Air HEPA 12 lter max. 4 times. Replace the lter after it has been cleaned 4 times.
1 Open the lter grille (Fig. 28).
2 Take out the washable HEPA 12 lter.
3 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA 12 lter under a hot slow-running tap.
- Hold the lter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and the water ows parallel
to the pleats. Hold the lter at an angle so that the water washes away the dirt inside the
pleats (Fig. 31).
- Turn the lter 180° and let the water ow along the pleats in opposite direction (Fig. 32).
- Continue this process until the lter is clean.
Never clean the washable lter with a brush (Fig. 33).
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the lter, but does restore its ltration power.
4 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the lter. Let the lter dry at least 2 hours
before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner.
5 Place the lter back behind the brackets. Make sure that the Philips logo on the lter is
visible in the upper left hand corner (Fig. 29).
6 Close the lter grille (‘click’) (Fig. 30).
