User manual POLTI LECOLOGICO AS850

[. . . ] EcoActive-Filter is the revolutionary "green" heart of Lecologico, because its effectiveness is based on the natural purifying force of water. Just the water flow contained in the special filter and its bubbling imprison dirt, preventing all contact with dust, and avoiding dispersal of dust back into the air. Lecologico has a special extra powerful washable HEPA filter, previously used only in professional applications requiring the utmost hygiene. This filter stops even the finest dust, pollens, dust mites and other microorganisms and is easily rinsed clean when dirty.
