Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to carrying out maintenance or cleaning, ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the mains:
Bags full of normal household dust may be disposed of with household waste. Insert the new paper filter as far as it will go in the guide rails; only then can the lid be closed. The cover cannot be closed unless a paper filter has been inserted. Please do not use force! Changing the microfilter We recommend replacing the microfilter at each fifth paper filter replacement, and at the latest when the dust level indicator is completely red with the nozzle raised and with a clean dust bag inserted.
Changing the paper filter The paper filter must be replaced if the window on the filter replacement indicator is completely red when the appliance is operating at maximum power and the nozzle is raised from the floor. The paper filter should be replaced even if it does not appear to be full because fine dust can block the pores in the surface of the filter.
Open the lid and fold up. Remove the used microfilter by means of the clean hygienic tabs (figure) and dispose of it with the household waste. Insert the new microfilter and close the cassette.
The cover can be opened by pressing the button and folding back until it locks into place.
Motor protection filter The motor protection filter is a permanent filter and does not have to be replaced regularly. Exception: the filter is damaged. See �What to do if ��. Hygienic filter change: By pulling on the tab when removing the full filter bag you automatically seal the opening. You will need to overcome a slight resistance as you pull.
