5.2 CLEANING THE
DIRT CONTAINER AND
PRE-MOTOR FILTER
n
It is best to check the pre-motor filter each
time you empty the dirt container,
> Chapter 5.1, 'Emptying the dirt
container'.
n
Clean the pre-motor filter at the latest when
the blockage light (Fig. 8/A1) lights up.
1. Switch off the machine, remove the dirt
container and empty it, > Chapter 5.1,
'Emptying the dirt container'.
2. Release the dirt container lid by firmly
turning anti-clockwise (Fig. 9/A). Remove it
from the dirt container.
3. Pull the pre-motor filter up and out of the
dirt container (Fig. 9/B).
4. Remove the separator and shroud from
the dirt container in an upward motion
(Fig. 9/ C).
5. Remove any residual dirt still clinging to the
dirt container, separator and shroud using a
dry cloth or a soft brush, e.g. the supplied
furniture brush.
IMPORTANT:
Refrain from cleaning the separator and
shroud with water. Otherwise, adhering dirt particles may
clog the separator and shroud.
6. Hold the pre-motor filter low over a dirt bin.
Separate the filter elements from one another.
Remove larger agglomerations of dirt by
hand. Tap filter over a dirt bin to remove any
dirt and debris.
7. Rinse the pre-motor filter under water
(Max 40°C).
IMPORTANT:
Let the filters dry for approx. 24 hours
at room temperature after cleaning. Only put them
back into the appliance when they are completely dry.
9. If one of the filter elements is damaged,
replace it with a new one, > Chapter 5.4,
'Spare parts and accessories'.
10. Put the separator and shroud back into the
dirt container (Fig. 10/B). Take care that the
two wide tabs and the narrow tab engage
in the wide grooves and the small groove,
respectively.
11. Reassemble the pre-motor filter and put it
back onto the separator and shroud
(Fig. 11/A).
12. Put the dirt container lid back on (Fig.
11/B). Take care that the two wide tabs
and the narrow tab engage in the wide
grooves and the small groove, respectively.
13. Lock the lid by turning it firmly clockwise
(Fig. 11/C) until it audibly clicks into place.
