Caring for the filters

you should clean and replace the NERA filters regu-
larly whenever they need it.
- Always unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power
outlet before replacing attachments or cleaning it.
Main HEPA filter

every use or at least once a month.

(drawing 5), then lightly tap the hard part of the fil-
ter to remove the dust from it.

Replacing the filters
- This vacuum cleaner can be effectively used for 100
hours without changing the filters. A reduction of
suction power after 100 hours of operation means
that the filters need to be replaced.
- We recommend replacing the main HEPA filter once
a year.
- The HEPA air filter should be replaced once a year.
- Changing the filter: see "Caring for the filters."
