Cleaning the filter in vacuum cleaners with bag
If your Philips Vacuum has a bag, then you need to take into account the following cleaning tips for its filters:

This filter needs to be replaced once a year. It cannot be washed.
• Exhaust filter:
The exhaust filter is located on the back (or at the bottom in some cases) of your Philips vacuum, behind a removable grille.
This filter needs to be replaced once a year. It cannot be washed.
