Maintaining the exhaust filter Cleaning & maintenance The exhaust filter is designed so that it does not need to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as inten- ded in the household. To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op- timum power level, the exhaust filter should be rinsed out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re- mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco- loured. Fig.
