Filter care

!
Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
Your appliance is equipped with a "Sensor Control"
function.
This function constantly monitors whether your vacu-
um cleaner is working at its optimum power level. The
indicator light lets you know when you need to clean
the filter cartridge, so that the appliance can reach its
optimum power level once more.

Fig. Sensor Control
The indicator lights up blue or is off when the appli-
ance is working at its optimum level. Once the indica-
tor turns red and flashes, the outer filter unit and filter
cartridge must be cleaned.
The appliance is automatically adjusted to power level
1.

ve dirt particles from the surface.

Take the filter unit out of the dust container.
a) Turn the filter cartridge lid anti-clockwise and remove
the filter cartridge from the filter unit.
b) Firstly, clean the filter cartridge by tapping out the dirt.
c) Pull out the foam filter from the motor protection and
rinse separately.
Allow the foam filter and motor protection filter to
dry completely (approx. 24 hours)
d) After fitting the foam filter, insert the filter cartridge
into the dust container.
e) Insert the filter cartridge into the filter unit and lock it
by turning the lid clockwise.
If, after hand-washing the filter cartridge, the "Sensor
Control" indicator flashes red again, the filter cartridge
is so heavily soiled that it must be washed in a washing
machine. Use a gentle programme at max. 30 °C and
the lowest spin speed.
New filters can be obtained from our after-sales ser-
vice, if required.

Caution: the filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.

To clean the plate filter, turn the knob at least three
turns through 180°.
You can also clean the filter if the suction is becoming
less powerful, even if the indicator has not lit up. We
recommend that you clean the plate filter each time
before emptying the dust container. It must be clea-
ned at the latest when the "Sensor Control" indicator
lights up.
Tapping out the plate filter
