5.1 Emptying and cleaning the dust container
 It is best to empty the dust container after each vacuuming session.
 However, empty the dust container at the latest if:
- the "MAX" marking (Fig. 9/B1) has been reached; or
- the cleaning indicator (Fig. 1/26) is illuminated; or
- before prolonged storage or dispatch.
1. Switch off the appliance , chapter 4.3, „Switching off“.
2. Push the release button for the dust container (Fig. 9/A).
3. Remove the dust container by pulling it upwards out of its holder.
4. Empty the dust container by holding it low over a dustbin and only then
press the release button (Fig. 9/B).
5. Remove any residual dust from the dust container using a dry cloth or
a soft brush, e.g. the supplied furniture brush.
6. Close the dust compartment bottom plate.
7. Put the dust container back into its holder (Fig. 9/C).
You will feel and hear it snap into place.
5.2 Cleaning filter inserts
 It is best to clean the filter inserts each time you empty the dust container, chapter 5.1, „Emptying and cleaning the dust container“.
 Clean the filter inserts at the latest when the cleaning indicator (Fig. 1/26) lights up.

5. Unscrew the filter screen
 and lift it out of the dust container
(Fig. 11/A).
6. Lift the cyclone unit out of the dust container (Fig. 11/B). The cyclone
