6 Hold the dust bucket over a dustbin and empty it (Fig. 29).
7 Clean the dust bucket with cold tap water and some washing-up liquid.
8 If you want to clean the filter cylinder unit, remove the filter cylinder from the filter cylinder
case. Turn the handle on top of the filter cylinder anticlockwise (1) and lift the filter cylinder
out of the case (2). (Fig. 30)
9 To clean the filter cylinder, gently tap it against the dustbin to release all fine dust from the
filter cylinder. (Fig. 31)
- If you persistently fail to clean the filter cylinder after every use, the filter cylinder clogs up with
dirt and the suction power decreases over time. If this happens, unclog the filter cylinder in the
following way:
1 Hold the filter cylinder over a dustbin.
2 Clean it with the cleaning brush supplied. Gently brush from the top of the filter downwards
along the ribs of the filter (Fig. 32).
Only use the cleaning brush that comes with the appliance. Other brushes may damage the filter
cylinder.
The filter cylinder is not waterproof and cannot be cleaned with water, cleaning agents or
flammable substances.
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore its filtration power.
10 To clean the filter cylinder case, use a dry cloth or the cleaning brush supplied. You can also
clean it with cold tap water and some washing-up liquid (Fig. 33).
- Do not clean the filter cylinder case with the filter cylinder in it under the tap, as the filter
cylinder is not waterproof (Fig. 34).
11 Put the filter cylinder back into the filter cylinder case (1) and turn it clockwise to fix it (2)
('click') (Fig. 35).
Make sure that the filter cylinder case is dry before you reinsert the filter cylinder into it.
12 Put the filter cylinder unit back into the dust bucket ('click') (Fig. 36).
Make sure that the dust bucket is dry before you reinsert the filter cylinder unit.
Cleaning the motor protection filter
Clean the permanent motor protection filter every two months.
1 Unplug the appliance.
2 Take the motor protection filter out of the appliance and clean the filter by tapping the dust
out of it over a dustbin (Fig. 37).
If you want to clean the motor protection filter more thoroughly, you can rinse it under a cold tap.
Do not use washing-up liquid, flammable substances or any other cleaning agent to clean the
motor protection filter.
Make sure that the motor protection filter is completely dry before you put it back into the filter
compartment.
3 Press the clean filter firmly back into the filter compartment to ensure that it is properly
placed.

filters').
