How do I clean the filters of my Philips 4000 Vacuum Cleaner?

To clean the filters of your Philips 4000 Vacuum Cleaner, please follow the steps below:

1. The filter of your vacuum model is in the dust container located in the handheld. Remove the dust bucket by pressing down the button.
2. Hold the bucket upside down and take out the filter set. It consists of three different parts: A filter holder, a paper filter and a foam filter.
3. Remove the foam filter from the filter holder and tap both parts over the bin. 
4. Wash the foam filter under running water, wring out excess water and allow it to air dry for 12 hours. Note: You cannot wash the paper filter.
5. When the foam filter is fully dry you can put it back in between the filter holder and the paper filter. 
6. Place the fully assembled filter set back into the dust bucket. 
7. Turn the dust bucket upside down and gently press it back into place until you hear the click.

Note: Please be aware that cleaning the filter regularly is very important to ensure maximum performance over lifetime. We recommend cleaning the filter every week.
