retracting power cord.” In this way you avoid dust destroying the appliance.
NOTE:
Be careful when removing the dust filter bag so that no dust escapes.
NOTE:
You can dispose of the dust filter bag with your regular domestic trash if it contains no prohibited waste materials.
NOTE:
The dust compartment cover can only be closed with a dust filter bag in place.
4.2 Changing filters
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with the following filters:
Motor protection filter (Fig. 20/1) prevents larger
particles from destroying the motor in case the dust filter
bag is defective.
Change it every time you open a new box of dust filter
bags, as they always contain a new motor protection filter,
or at least every 6 months.
HEPA exhaust filter (Fig. 20/2) removes
microscopic particles from the exhaust air stream.
Change it every 6 months to one year or a reduction of
power may occur. Filter may be cleaned by hand but not
water.
The filters can become clogged with time and reduce the
appliance's performance. That's why it is important to
adhere to the above changing intervals.
Damaged filters must be removed immediately.
ATTENTION:
These filters are not washable. The exhaust filter may
not be re-used.
NOTE:
If the motor protection filter is only slightly dirty, it can
help to beat out the dust over a dust bin. However, we
recommend to change the motor protection filter each
time you open a new box of dust filter bags Chapter 6, "Spare
parts and disposal.”
4.3 Changing the HEPA exhaust filter
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the dust filter
bag as described in Chapter 4.1, "Changing the dust
filter bag,” steps 1 thru 4.
2. Remove the exhaust filter (Fig. 21/1).
Unlatch the lock and slightly lift the filter. Now you can
pull out the filter towards the front.
3. Insert a new exhaust filter ( !"#$%&' 6, "Spare parts
and disposal") and push it down slightly until it locks into
the holder.
4. Replace the dust filter bag and close the dust
compartment cover. The cover clicks audibly into place.
NOTE:
Make sure that that the exhaust filter is always properly
locked into position, otherwise the exhaust air will not be
properly filtered.
