The filters can get dirty after a time. There-

fore, it is important to check the filters regular-
ly and clean them if necessary.

"Emptying the dust container".

foam plastic motor protection filter low
over a dustbin.
5. Pull the foam plastic motor protection filter
out the permanent filter (Fig. 12).
6. Tap the dust out of the filters and remove
coarse dirt by hand.

move residual dirt.

ters elements under cold or hand-warm
running water (Fig. 13).
