This appliance is equipped with either the Super Clean Air HEPA 12 lter or the Ultra Clean Air

HEPA 13 lter. These lters are located in the back of the appliance. They are able to remove 99.5%

and 99.95% respectively 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’).
