When the dust collection bag ll indicator turns red during operation, replace the full dust collection bag immediately. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 VP 807xEN

If the dust collection bag ll indicator is still red after the bag has been replaced, this may be due to several causes: - some of the air passages (hoses, telescopic tube, suction inlet, brush adapter, or other adapters) are obstructed; - the motor lter is dirty; - the air outlet lter is dirty. Check for each of the possible causes above and eliminate the problem before you start vacuuming. If the cause of the problem cannot be identied, hand over the product to the nearest service centre. Never use the vacuum cleaner if the bag level indicator is completely red during operation. The motor could be damaged irreparably

retention bag (Fig. 3). Dispose of a paper or SMS dust collection bag. Be careful not to tear the bag when handling. If the bag is made of fabric, empty it and close it carefully – it can be used repeatedly.

holder. The bag opening must be aligned with the hose hole in the ap- pliance cover.

this operation is complete, you may clean a very dirty lter by washing and brushing with a soft brush in lukewarm water with no cleaning agents added. It is important to let the wet parts dry thoroughly. A wet lter will be damaged by vacuuming! Do not use a hair dryer to dry it! Note: Wet cleaning may cause more wear and tear of the lter and, consequently, may shorten its service life.

3. Insert the cleaned or new air outlet lter into the appliance and close the air outlet grid.
