brush the eece, as this will force dirt particles into the fabric.
If the lter is very dirty, it can be washed in lukewarm water
with regular dishwashing detergent. Note that the eece lter
does not need to be cleaned until there is a noticeable loss of
power. If cleaning the lter does not bring an improvement in
