The washable HEPA 12 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 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’).
Clean the washable HEPA 12 lter every 6 months. You can clean the washable HEPA 12 lter max.
4 times. Replace the lter after it has been cleaned 4 times.
