HEPA 13 washable lter is able to remove 99.95% 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
dust mites and their excrements, which are well-known causes of respiratory allergies.
Note: To guarantee optimal dust retention and performance of the vacuum cleaner, always replace the
HEPA lter with an original Philips lter of the correct type (see chapter ‘Ordering accessories and
lters’).
Clean the washable HEPA 13 lter every 6 months. You can clean the washable HEPA 13 lter max.
4 times. Replace the lter after it has been cleaned 4 times.
Note: Do not clean the HEPA 13 lter in the washing machine, but follow the procedure below.

Be careful with hot water. Always check if the water is not too hot, to prevent your hands from
getting burnt.
- 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.
- Turn the lter 180° and let the water ow along the pleats in the opposite direction (Fig. 52).
- Continue this process until the lter is clean.
