The HEPA 13 lter is able to remove 99.95% 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 every 2 years with an original Philips lter of the correct type (see chapter ‘Ordering
accessories’). You can dispose of the old lter with the normal household waste.
