Emptying the Dust Container and Cleaning the Filter
The dust container (

force. You can look through the transparent housing to see how much dirt has accumu-
lated inside.
1. Hold the handheld vacuum cleaner vertically, with the suction opening pointing down-
wards, over an open rubbish bin.
2. Keep the release button (
9
) of the dust container held
down and carefully remove the dust container.
3. Carefully take out the HEPA
fi
lter (
5
) and empty the dust
container.

fi
lter strap is attached around the HEPA
fi
lter. Open the
hook and loop fastener of the
fi
lter strap and gently tap out
the HEPA
fi
lter and the
fi
lter strap.

fi
lter strap if necessary
under cold, running water.

fi
lter must not be cleaned with water! The
fi
lter strap must not be washed in the washing machine.

fi
lter strap to dry completely in the air before they
