The original washable Allergy Plus filter is suitable for use in most AEG vacuum cleaners. This high-quality filter was specially developed by Electrolux to keep the filtration level of your vacuum cleaner optimal. The Allergy Plus filter captures even the finest particles, such as pollen, mold spores, dust mite droppings and allergens. The Allergy Plus filter keeps the vacuum cleaner cleaner and reduces the risk of allergic reactions. The s-filter® was awarded its quality mark by the ECARF due to its excellent filter performance. ECARF is the abbreviation for European Center for Allergy Research Foundation. For more information about ECARF, visit: www.ecarf.org. A dust-free environment makes everyone in your family breathe easier and makes them all feel better. The high-quality material ensures that the vacuum cleaner has a large air flow and a lot of suction power with a high filtration level and captures and retains a maximum amount of dust. For optimal performance of the vacuum cleaner, we recommend that you wash the filter as soon as it is visibly dirty. Wash the filter with a brush under the tap and let it dry before replacing the filter. For optimal performance, you should replace the bag regularly and the filter should be replaced every 5th vacuum cleaner bag replacement. All filters should be replaced at least twice a year and/or more often if the filter is visibly dirty. The use of vacuum cleaner bags other than the original Electrolux vacuum cleaner bags and filters can negatively affect the performance of your vacuum cleaner.
