Maintenance
Filter
Your machine has five filter systems. The traditional dust
bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust
container. In this, coarse dirt particles and tiny particles
floating in the air are swirled out of the suction air by the
high speed of the air current.
It is therefore unnecessary to buy dust bags.
Emptying the dust container
You can easily recognize when the transparent dust
container must be emptied:
Turn the device on with the on/off switch. If the dust is
whirled up to the lower edge of the perforated surface of
the cyclone unit, empty the dust container.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the mains plug from the socket.
2. Press the button (12) to release
the dust container and remove
the dust container (Fig. E).
3. Hold the dust bag over a rubbish
bin. Empty the contents of the
dust bag. To do so, press the but-
ton for the opening / emptying of
the dust container (9) (Fig. F).
4. Close the base plate again so that it is heard to lock
into place.
5. Place the dust container back into the device, with the
lower side first. Press the dust container downwards.
The hook on the rear side of the dust container has to
engage audibly.
6. Check the firm fit of the dust container by briefly lifting
the device by the carrying handle (11).
Cleaning the filter (Cyclone unit)
1. Empty the dust container as previously described.
2. Unlatch the cover (8) of the dust container. Twist it
counter-clockwise in the "release" direction. Remove
the lid.
3. Remove the motor protection filter and clean it by
shaking it out. In case of heavier soiling wash it out as
described below.
4. Unlatch the cyclone unit. Twist it counter-clockwise in
the "release" direction. Pull the cyclone unit out of the
dust container.

5. Hold the cyclone unit so that the perforated top part (7)
is showing downwards. Twist the bottom part (6) of
the cyclone unit off in counter-clockwise direction.
6. Empty the content of the top part into a garbage can.
7. Reassemble the two parts of the cyclone unit. Set the
locking tab of the bottom part into the guide of the top
part. Firmly tighten the parts up to the stop.
8. Place the cyclone unit back
into the dust container. Ob-
serve the illustrations on the
left. Hold the dust container so
that you can see the opening
of the air outlet in front of you.
Press the locking tabs of the
cyclone unit into the recesses
of the dust container. Tighten
the cyclone unit in the direction
"lock" up to the stop.
9. Place the motor protection filter into the dust contain-
er. While doing so, look for the arrow markings on the
cyclone unit and on the motor protection filter. Place
the areas that are marked with the arrows above
each other.
10. Place the lid onto the dust container so that the arrow
on the cover points to the symbol "open lock" on the
dust container. Press the locking tabs of the cover
into the recesses of the dust container.
11. Tighten the lid in clockwise direction. The arrow on
the lid must be located above the symbol "closed
lock" on the dust container.
12. Place the dust container back into the device. The
hook on the rear side of the dust container must
audibly engage.
13. Check the firm fit of the dust container by briefly lifting
the device by the carrying handle (11).
Motor protection filter (in the dust container)
Every third time the dust container is emptied, or in the
case of severe soiling, clean the filter by allowing water to
flow through the filter fabric against the direction in which
the vacuum cleaner blows.
You can remove the foam and wash it separately with
clear water.
