The appliance is switched off.

▶ Press the release button on the handheld appliance.
Remove the dust container from the motor block.

Remove the dust filter by grabbing hold of it inside the opening and pulling it out.
Remove the cyclone insert by grabbing hold of it inside the opening and pulling it out.
▶ Empty the dust container over a dustbin.
- Rinse the dust container and the cyclone filter with water and clean the HEPA dust filter regularly under running water. Rinsing is not necessary every time. Never put the dust container in the dishwasher!
When the dust container, cyclone insert and HEPA filter are dry again, insert the filter housing and the cyclone insert with the dust filter precisely into the dust container so that the seal on the dust filter closes off the dust container.
Place the dust container onto the motor block by firstly inserting it into the catch at the bottom of the motor block and then folding it shut until the release button clicks audibly into place.

CAUTION

Before using the appliance for the first time, please ensure that the dust filter in the dust container has been inserted correctly. If this is not the case, the vacuum cleaner could be damaged.

9.2. Cleaning the suction openings

After a while, dirt and dust can collect around the suction openings and can reduce the suction power. To avoid this, the suction openings should be cleaned regularly.

▶ Switch off the appliance.

Remove dirt and dust from in and around the suction opening on the handheld appliance and around the brush, as well as from the suction tube in the vacuum cleaner foot.

You can remove the brush on the vacuum cleaner foot for cleaning purposes:

▶ Use a suitably sized coin to turn the brush locking mechanism in an anticlockwise direction and then remove the cover. Remove the brush and clean it.

Insert the brush again so that the triangular recess on the brush fits the triangular lug on the foot housing and the other end with the flat side is pointing upwards. Then replace the cover and lock it again with the brush locking mechanism by turning it in a clockwise direction.

In the event of a clogged vacuum cleaner foot, remove it from the upright vacuum cleaner housing by pressing the release button on the bottom of the upright vacuum cleaner housing backwards and pulling off the foot at the same time. Remove the foreign body from the vacuum cleaner foot and the suction tube on the upright vacuum cleaner housing.

▶ Then assemble the upright vacuum cleaner as described above.

15.1.1. Scope

In the event of a fault on your product that is covered by this warranty, the warranty provider guarantees to repair or replace the product. The decision about whether to repair or replace the device is taken by the warranty provider. Therefore, the warranty provider can at its own discretion decide to replace a device submitted for repair under warranty with a refurbished device of the same quality.

No warranty is provided for batteries or rechargeable batteries or for consumable materials i.e. parts which have to be replaced at regular intervals during the normal use of the product e.g. video projector lamps.
