- If the dust bag change indicator lights up continuously when the nozzle is lifted from the floor and the highest power setting has been selected, the dust bag must be changed, even though it may not yet be full. In this case, it needs to be changed due to the type of dust which has been vacuumed.

Fig. 17 Opening the lid

- Open the lid by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow.

Fig. 18

a) Close the dust bag by pulling on the locking tab, and remove the bag.
b) Push the new dust bag into the holder until it clicks into place. When doing so, leave the dust bag folded as it was when removed from the packaging. Do not crease or kink the dust bag, and ensure that it is not pinched when the lid is closed.

Caution: The lid will only close if a dust bag has

been inserted.

Motor protection filter

Caution: The vacuum must not be operated without
the motor protection filter.

Cleaning the motor protection filter

The motor protection filter should be cleaned regularly by tapping out the dirt and rinsing.

Fig. 19\*

  • Open the dust bag compartment lid. Fig. 17
  • Release the motor protection filter by pulling on the side tabs and pull it out in the direction of the arrow.
  • Clean the motor protection filter by tapping out the dirt.
  • If it is very dirty, the motor protection filter should be rinsed.

The filter must then be left to dry for at least 24 hours.

- After cleaning, refit the motor protection filter into the appliance and lock it in place at the top. Close the dust bag compartment lid.

Cleaning the foam filter

If your appliance is fitted with a filter frame and foam filter, the foam filter should be cleaned at regular intervals by tapping out the dust.

Fig. 20\*

  • Open the dust bag compartment lid. Fig. 17
  • Pull out the filter frame and foam filter in the direction of the arrow.
  • Remove the foam filter from the filter frame and clean it by tapping out the dust.
  • After cleaning, place the foam filter back in the filter frame, insert the filter frame with foam filter in the appliance and close the dust bag compartment lid.

Caution: The vacuum cleaner must not be operated
- without the motor protection filter.

Exhaust filter

The exhaust filter must be cleaned or replaced at least once a year.

Replacing the micro-hygiene exhaust filter

Fig. 21\*

  • Open the rear flap.
  • Unlock the filter holder by moving the locking tab in the direction of the arrow.
  • Remove the foam filter* from the filter holder and tap it out.
    Replace the old micro-hygiene filter with a new one. (This is included in the filter pack when you purchase original dust bags).
    Insert the foam filter into the filter holder.
  • Insert the filter holder into the appliance and lock it in place.

Cleaning the (H)EPA\* exhaust filter

The (H)EPA* filter is designed so that it does not need to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as intended in the household.

To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its optimum power level, the (H)EPA* filter should be rinsed out after one year. The filtering action of the filter remains intact, even if the filter surface becomes discoloured.

Fig. 22\*

  • Open the rear flap.
  • Unlock the (H)EPA* filter by moving the locking tab in the direction of the arrow, and remove it from the appliance.
  • Tap out the filter unit and rinse it under running water.
    Alternatively, the unit can be cleaned in a washing machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle programme and the lowest spin speed.
    TIP: To protect other laundry items, put the filter unit into a laundry bag.
  • Once the (H)EPA* filter has dried completely (at least 24 hours), insert it back into the appliance and lock it in place.
  • Close the rear flap.

After vacuuming fine dust particles (e.g. gypsum, cement, etc.), clean the motor protection filter by tapping it out or, if necessary, replace the motor protection filter and exhaust filter.

Care

Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the power cord from the mains before cleaning the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned with an ordinary plastic cleaner.

Do not use abrasive materials, glass-cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaning products. Never immerse the vacuum cleaner in water.

The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned with a second vacuum cleaner or simply wiped with a dry cloth or dusting brush.

Subject to technical modifications.
