The traditional dust bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust container. In this, coarse dirt particles and tiny particles oating in the air are swirled out of the suction air by the high speed of the air current. It is therefore unnecessary to buy dust bags. Emptying the dust container Empty the dust container when the amount of dust reaches the “MAX” mark. Proceed as follows:

• Remove the mains plug from the socket.

• Close the base plate again so that it is heard to lock into place. Motor protection filter (in the dust container) Cleaning the filter (Cyclone unit)

• Remove the mains plug from the socket.

• Close the base plate again so that it is heard to lock into place.

• Unlock the dust container lid by turning it a short way anticlockwise. Remove the lid.

• Remove the motor protection lter and clean by tap- ping it.

• Unlock the cyclone unit by turning it a short way anticlockwise. Remove the cyclon unit and clean it.

• Insert the cyclone unit back into the dust container and lock it by turning it clockwise.

• Replace the lid and lock it by turning it clockwise.

• Replace the dust container until you hear it click into place. Every third time the dust container is emptied, or in the case of severe soiling, clean the lter by allowing water to ow through the lter fabric against the direction in which the vacuum cleaner blows. The dust container should only be reinserted when it is completely dry! CAUTION: Never wash the filter in the washing machine, and please do not use a hairdryer to dry it. HEPA filter Your appliance also has a HEPA filter. You will nd this lter under the lter cover on the back of the appliance.

If the suction power of your vacuum cleaner diminishes please clean the lters as described. If the suction power suddenly diminishes during opera- tion this may be due to the lters being locked.28 Cleaning & maintenance
