Changing Filters
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with the following filters:
-
Motor protection filter
(Fig. 20/1) Prevents larger particles
from destroying the motor in case the dust filter bag is defective.
Change as needed or if vacuum overheats or bypass valve opens.
-
HEPA exhaust filter
(Fig. 20/2) removes microscopic particles
from the exhaust air. Clean at least every 6 months. Replace
once a year.
The filters can become clogged over time and reduce the
appliance's performance. That's why it is important to adhere to
the above cleaning intervals.
Damaged filters must be removed immediately.
ATTENTION
: These filters are not washable. The exhaust
filter may not be re-used. Never run the vacuum without a
bag installed.
NOTE: 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 bags.
Changing the HEPA Exhaust Filter (Fig. 21)
1. Switch off
the vacuum cleaner.
2. Remove the exhaust filter. Remove filter cover by
lifting up two tabs with your fingers (Fig_21/1), then lift
up the HEPA filter and move it out (Fig 21/2).
3. Insert a new exhaust filter and push it down slightly
until it locks into the holder.
4. 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.
