The Filter System

The appliance has a total of 3 filters, 1 of which is permanently installed and can only be knocked off. The common dust bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust container. The higher flow speed of the container allows for heavy dirt and smallest floating particles to be separated from the "sucked-in air".

It is thus not necessary to buy dust bags.

The filters must be cleaned periodically.

CAUTION:

• Never wash the filter in the washing machine.
• Never immerse the dust container in water. Do not rinse it out with water either. This could destroy the electronics.
  • Do not use a hair-dryer for drying.

CAUTION:

- Only put the appliance back into operation when all filters are completely dry and correctly assembled.

The Filter Unit

The filter unit is located in the dust container and consists of:

• Fine filter (HEPA filter)
• Coarse filter

Proceed as follows to clean the filter unit:

1. Empty the dust container as described above.

2. Disassembly of the Filter Unit

2.1 Unlock the dust container using the buttons ☐ on both sides of the hand-held device.
