Filter
Motor protection filter
Never use the appliance without the motor protection filter.
◗
Replace the motor protection filter when inserting the first of a new set of paper dustbags
(fig. 63).
Micro filter (specific types only)
When vacuuming dry substances, the electrostatic micro filter purifies the exhaust air by removing
miniscule dust particles. In the course of time the effectiveness of the filter will decrease.
◗
Normally it suffices to replace the micro filter when inserting the first of a new set of paper
dustbags.
◗
The indicator of the micro filter holder should remain white. If the filter has turned
noticeably grey, we advise you to replace the filter (fig. 72).
Especially if you suffer from pulmonary obstructive disease or if you have an allergy (pollen, dust,
etc), it is advisable to replace the micro filter more frequently.
Foam filter
Replace the foam filter if it is damaged or very dirty.
