How do I change the vacuum cleaner bag?

Unplug the appliance, remove the hose, open the lid, take out the bag holder, remove the full bag. For a paper bag, discard it; for a textile bag, empty it and wash it with clean water, then let it dry for 24 hours. Replace the holder with a new or dry bag and close the lid.

What should I do if the vacuum cleaner no longer sucks or sucks less efficiently?

Check that the bag is not full (replace it if necessary) and that the filters are not saturated. Also check that the hose and accessories are not blocked. Set the power to maximum and check that the manual control on the handle is closed.

How do I clean or replace the HEPA filter?

Depending on your model: for the HEPA cassette ref. MT0007 01, replace it every 6 months. For the HEPA cassette ref. MT0008 01, clean it by tapping it then rinsing it with clean water, and let it dry for 24 hours before putting it back.
