Cleaning and replacing filters
Motor Protection Filter
Every time you empty or replace the dustbag,
clean the Permanent Motor Protection Filter.

of the appliance and clean the filter by shaking
it over a dustbin.(fig.27)
3 Press the filter holder with the clean filter
firmly into place to ensure that it fits properly
at the bottom.(fig.28)
4 Place the dustbag holder with the dustbag
back into the appliance.
Activated Carbon Filter
Instead of with the Motor Protection Filter, some
appliances are equipped with an Activated
Carbon Filter.This filter neutralises smells
produced by the dirt in the dustbag.
◗ Replace the Activated Carbon Filter every 6
months or when you notice that smell
absorption becomes less effective.
1 To replace the Activated Carbon Filter, see
the Motor Protection Filter section above.
Instead of cleaning the filter, you have to
insert a new filter.
Motor Outlet Filter
The AFS Micro Filter located in the back of this
appliance will filter a large part of the smallest
particles from the exhaust air by means of its
electrostatically charged fibres.
1 Replace the AFS Micro Filter every six
months
2 Open the filter grille.(fig.29)
3 Remove the old filter.(fig.30)
4 Insert the new filter into the appliance.
5 Close the filter grille and push the left and
right bottom corners until they snap

HEPA filter
Instead of with the AFS Micro Filter, this appliance
can also be equipped with the special HEPA Filter.
The HEPA Filter is able to remove at least 99.99%
of all particles down to 0.0003 mm in size from
the outlet air.This not only includes normal house
dust, but also harmful microscopic vermin such as
house dust mites and their excrements, which are
well-known causes of respiratory allergies.
1 Replace the HEPA Filter as soon as the pilot
light of the filter-full indicator goes on
(specific types only).The HEPA filter can be
replaced in the same way as the AFS Micro
Filter.(fig.32)
