Changing filters
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with the following filters:
Motor protection filter (Fig. 13/1)
prevents larger particles from destroying the motor in case the dust filter
bag is defective.
Changing: Every time you open a new box of dust filter bags, or at least every 6 months.
Hygienic exhaust filter (Fig. 13/2)
removes microscopic particles from the exhaust air stream.
Changing: Every 6 months.
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.
NOTE: These filters are not washable. The exhaust filter may not be re-used. If the motor protection filter is
only slightly dirty, it can help to beat out the dust over a dustbin. However, we recommend changing the motor
protection filter each time you open a new box of dust filter bags.
Changing the hygienic exhaust filter
Switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the dust filter bag as described above.
Remove the exhaust filter (Fig. 14/1).
Unlatch the lock and slightly lift the filter. Now you can pull out the filter towards the front.
Insert a new exhaust filter and push it down slightly until it locks into the holder.
Replace the dust filter bag and close the dust compartment cover. The cover clicks into place audibly.
NOTE: Make sure that that the exhaust filter is always properly locked into position, otherwise the exhaust air
will not be properly filtered.
