Cleaning the Hepa* exhaust filter
The Hepa* filter is designed so that it does not need to
be replaced, provided the appliance is used as intended
in the household.
To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its
optimum power level, the Hepa* filter should be rinsed
out after one year. The filtering action of the filter
remains intact, even if the filter surface becomes
discoloured.
Figure
Open the dust bag compartment lid.
Unlock the Hepa* filter by moving the locking tab in
the direction of the arrow, and remove it from the
appliance.
Tap out the filter unit and rinse it under running
water.
Alternatively, the unit can be cleaned in a washing
machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle programme and
the lowest spin speed.
TIP: To protect other laundry items, put the filter unit
into a laundry bag.
Once the Hepa* filter has dried completely (at least
24 hours), insert it back into the appliance and lock it
in place.
Close the rear flap.
After vacuuming fine dust particles (e.g. gypsum, ce-
ment, etc.), clean the motor protection filter by tapping
it out or, if necessary, replace the motor protection filter
and exhaust filter.
Care
Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect it
from the mains before cleaning the vacuum cleaner. The
vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned
with ordinary plastic cleaner.
!
Do not use abrasive materials, glass-cleaning agents
or all-purpose cleaning products. Never immerse the
vacuum cleaner in water.
If required, the dust compartment can be vacuumed out
with a second vacuum cleaner or simply with a dry
duster/ dusting brush.
Subject to technical modifications.
