Philips FC8913 [11/140] Cleaning the mini turbo brush

1 To open the HEPA lter grille, grab the tabs and pull it upwards (Fig. 31).

2 Take the HEPA 12 lter out of the appliance (Fig. 32).

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. 33).

- Turn the lter 180° and let the water ow along the pleats in opposite direction (Fig. 34).

- Continue this process until the lter is clean.

Never clean the washable lter with a brush (Fig. 35).

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.

Note: Make sure that the lter is completely dry before you put it back into the appliance.

5 Put the lter back into the appliance (Fig. 36).

Note: Make sure that the two lugs of the HEPA lter point downwards.

6 To close the HEPA lter grille, rst align the top of the grille with the appliance (1). Then

press the tabs downwards until the grille locks into place (2) (‘click’) (Fig. 37).
