Filter care

!

  Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli-

ance is switched off.

Your appliance is equipped with a "Sensor Control" 
function.
This function constantly monitors whether your vacu-
um cleaner is working at its optimum power level. The 
indicator light lets you know when you need to clean 
the filter car tridge, so that the appliance can reach its 
optimum power level once more.

The  indicator  lights  up  blue  or  is  off  when  the  appli-
ance is working at its optimum level. Once the indica-
tor turns red and flashes, the outer filter unit and filter 
car tridge must be cleaned.

The appliance is automatically adjusted to power level 
1.

 Cleaning the outer filter unit

The outer filter unit should be cleaned at regular in-
ter vals in order to ensure optimum operation of the 
vacuum cleaner.

‡

Please switch off the appliance to clean the outer 
filter unit.

‡

Remove the dust container from the appliance.

Clean the outer filter unit.

a) 

It is usually sufficient to lightly shake or tap out the 
whole filter unit when the dust container is emptied in 
order to dislodge any particles of dirt.

b) 

If this is not sufficient, you can use a dry cloth to remo-
ve dirt particles from the surface.

a) 

 Turn the filter cartridge lid anti-clockwise and remove 
the filter cartridge from the filter unit.

b) 

 Firstly, clean the filter cartridge by tapping out the dirt.

c) 

 Pull out the foam filter from the motor protection and 
rinse separately. 

 Allow the foam filter and motor protection filter to 
dr y completely (approx. 24 hours)

d) 

 After fitting the foam filter, insert the filter cartridge 
into the dust container.

e) 

 Insert the filter cartridge into the filter unit and lock it 
by turning the lid clockwise.

If, after hand-washing the filter car tridge, the "Sensor 
Control" indicator flashes red again, the filter car tridge 
is so heavily soiled that it must be washed in a washing 
machine. Use a gentle programme at ma x. 3 0 °C and 
the lowest spin speed.
New filters can be obtained from our after-sales ser-
vice, if required.

To clean the plate filter, turn the knob at least three 
turns through 18 0 °. 

You can also clean the filter if the suction is becoming 
less power ful, even if the indicator has not lit up. We 
recommend that you clean the plate filter each time 
before  emptying  the  dust  container.  It  must  be  clea-
ned at the latest when the “Sensor Control” indicator 
lights up.

The dirt will fall down out of the filter.

Cleaning the floor tool
