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. 2).

Turn the lter 180° and let the water ow along the pleats

in opposite direction.

Continue this process until the lter is clean.

Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the lter, but

does restore its ltration power.
