Certain models have a silver ion dust filter and an additional electrostatic filter in the grill at the back
Silver ion filter
This dust filter is treated with silver ions which not just retain dust particles, but also have an efficient antibacterial action. It also greatly redu- ces concentrations of irritants such as pollen and spores.
Electrostatic filter
The electrostatic filter retains the finest dust par- ticles, thus enhancing the filtering capacity of the appliance.
Fitting the filters to the grille
The appliance can be used with only the dust fil- ters inserted in the grille.
To use the two supplementary filters (if provided with your model), remove them from the packa- ging and attach them to the dust filter, inserting them under the special clips (fig. 38).
If you decide not to use it, keep it sealed in the packaging.

•Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter.
If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times.
•After washing, leave the filter to dry comple- tely.
•To replace, put the filters back in the intake grille then attach the intake grille to the ap- pliance.
