Cleaning the (H)EPA* exhaust filter
The (H)EPA* filter is designed so that it does not need
to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as inten-
ded in the household.
To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op-
timum power level, the (H)EPA* filter should be rinsed
out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re-
mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco-
loured.

Open the rear flap.
Unlock the (H)EPA* filter by moving the locking tab
in the direction of the arrow, and remove it from the
appliance.
Tap out the filter unit and rinse it under running wa-
ter.
Alternatively, the unit can be cleaned in a washing
machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle programme and
the lowest spin speed.
TIP:
To protect other laundry items, put the filter
unit into a laundry bag.
Once the (H)EPA* filter has dried completely (at
least 24 hours), insert it back into the appliance and
lock it in place.
Close the rear flap.
After vacuuming fine dust particles (e.g. gypsum, ce-
ment, etc.), clean the motor protection filter by tapping
it out or, if necessary, replace the motor protection fil-
ter and exhaust filter.
Care
Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect
the power cord from the mains before cleaning the va-
cuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner and plastic acces-
sories can be cleaned with an ordinary plastic cleaner.
!
Do not use abrasive materials, glass-cleaning agents
or all-purpose cleaning products. Never immerse the
vacuum cleaner in water.
The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned
with a second vacuum cleaner or simply wiped with a
dry cloth or dusting brush.
Subject to technical modifications.
