Disposal information

■ Packaging

The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation. It is made of environmentally friendly materials and can be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is no longer required at an appropriate recycling point.

Used vacuum cleaners

Used vacuum cleaners still contain many valuable materials. Therefore, please take your used vacuum cleaner to your retailer or recycling centre to be recycled. For current disposal methods, please enquire at your retailer or your local council.

Disposal of filters and dust bags

Filters and dust bags are made from environmentally friendly materials. As long as they do not contain substances that are not permitted to be disposed of in the household rubbish, you can dispose of them with your normal household rubbish.

Please note

The mains socket must be protected by at least a 10 amp fuse. If a fuse should blow when you switch on the appliance, this may be because other electrical appliances which have a high current draw are connected to the same power circuit.

To prevent the fuse from blowing, select the lowest power setting before switching the appliance on, and increase the power only once it is running.

  If it is very dirty, the professional upholstery nozzle can also be opened up. To do this, turn the two screws on the sides of the nozzle (e.g. using a coin) and remove the inner part from the nozzle.

Replacing the dust bag

If the dust bag change indicator is completely yellow when the floor tool is lifted from the floor and the highest suction power is selected, the dust bag must be changed, even if it is not yet full. In this case it is essential to change the dust bag due to the type of material it contains.

First check that the nozzle, suction pipe and flexible hose are not blocked, as this would also lead to the dust bag change indicator being triggered.

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

• Seal the dust bag by pulling the sealing strip and then remove it.

• Insert the new dust bag into the holder as far as the stop. As you do this, leave it folded up, as it is when removed from its packaging. Unfold the dust bag in the dust bag compartment as far as possible. When closing the dust bag compartment lid, make sure that the dust bag is not trapped.

Caution: the dust bag compartment lid will only close when the dust bag or textile dust bag is inserted.

If the dust bag change indicator is still lit after the dust bag has been changed, please check whether the nozzle, tube or flexible hose are blocked.

Cleaning the motor protection filter

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

For hygiene reasons, however, we recommend that you replace the motor protection filter.

You can order a new filter from our after-sales service using the following replacement part number: 616268

• Open the dust bag compartment lid.

• Release the motor protection filter from the catch 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, clip into place and close the dust bag compartment lid.

Replacing the exhaust filter

You must replace the exhaust filter in your vacuum cleaner once a year.

Replacing the micro active carbon filter

• Open the dust bag compartment lid.
• Release the filter holder by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow.
• Remove the micro active carbon filter.
• Insert the new micro active carbon filter into the vacuum cleaner and clip into place.

Replacing the HEPA filter

If your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a HEPA filter, this should be replaced once a year.

• Open the dust bag compartment lid.
• Unlock the HEPA filter by pushing the locking tab in the direction of the arrow and remove it from the vacuum cleaner.

Insert the new HEPA filter and clip in place.

If you have used the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up fine dust particles, clean the motor protection filter by tapping out the dirt and, if necessary, replace the HEPA filter.

*dependent on model

• Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect from the mains before cleaning the appliance.
• The vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned with a commercial plastic cleaner.

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

• The dust container can, if necessary, be cleaned with a second vacuum cleaner or simply wiped with a dry cloth or duster.
