Frequently Asked Questions - VS6PT24XXL Profilo

How do I change the dust bag?

Open the dust bag compartment lid using the locking lever. Pull the sealing strip to close the full bag and remove it. Slide a new self-sealing dust bag into the holder until it stops. The lid can only close when a bag is inserted.

When should I replace the micro-hygiene filter?

Replace the micro-hygiene filter when you start a new pack of dust bags. It is located behind the filter holder accessible via the dust bag compartment.

How often should I clean the motor protection filter?

Clean the motor protection filter regularly by tapping out dirt. If very dirty, rinse it and let it dry for at least 24 hours before reinserting.

What does the dust bag change indicator mean?

When the indicator is completely yellow with the floor tool lifted and highest suction selected, the dust bag needs changing. First check for blockages in the nozzle, tube, or hose.

Can I use the vacuum cleaner without a dust bag?

No, never use the vacuum cleaner without a dust bag fitted. Doing so can damage the appliance.

How do I adjust the suction power?

Turn the on/off button in the direction of the arrow to adjust suction electronically. The button also serves as the power switch.

What accessories are available for this vacuum?

Accessories include a crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle, furniture brush, turbo brush, hard-floor brush, and replacement filters. Use only original Profilo accessories.

How do I maintain the turbo brush (if equipped)?

Consult the separate instruction manual for the turbo brush. It is driven by airflow and requires no electrical connection. Clean as directed.

Is the vacuum suitable for allergy sufferers?

Yes, the vacuum can be equipped with a HEPA filter (VZ153HFB) for cleaner exhaust air. Replace the HEPA filter once a year.

How should I dispose of the vacuum cleaner at end of life?

Do not dispose of with household waste. Take the used vacuum to a recycling centre or retailer. Filters and dust bags can be disposed of with household rubbish if they contain no prohibited substances.
