Maintenance and cleaning
Prior to maintenance or cleaning, ensure that
the appliance is switched off and that the mains
plug has been removed from the socket:
Changing the paper filter
The paper filter must be replaced if the window
on the filter replacement indicator is completely
red when the appliance is operating at
maximum power and the nozzle is raised from
the floor.
The paper filter should be replaced even if it
does not appear to be full because fine dust
can block the pores in the surface of the filter.
The cover can be opened by pressing the
button and folding back until it locks.
Hygienic filter change: When removing the full
filter bag, pull the closing tab to automatically
close the opening. There will be slight
resistance when the tab is pulled.
Bags full of normal household dust may be
disposed of with household waste.
Insert the new paper filter as far as it will go in
the guide rails; only then can the lid be closed.
The cover cannot be closed unless a paper
filter has been inserted. Please do not use
force!
Changing the microfilter
We recommend replacing the microfilter at
each fifth paper filter replacement, and at the
latest when there is a clean dust bag and the
dust level indicator is completely red with the
nozzle raised.
Open the lid and fold up. Remove the used
microfilter by means of the clean hygienic
tabs (figure) and dispose of it with the
household waste. Insert the new microfilter
and close the cassette.
