The filter can get dirty during prolonged

use. Therefore, it is important to check it reg-
ularly and clean it if necessary.
If you see that the filter is damaged, re-

place it immediately (Chapter 6.2, "Acces-
sories and spare parts").
To check and clean the filter, proceed as
follows:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Empty the dust container, Chapter 4.3,
"Emptying the dust container".
3. Separate the dust container from the mo-
tor unit by pressing the release button
" " (Fig. 8).

permanent textile filter under running wa-
ter (Fig. 10).

7. Let the filter dry for approx 24 hours at
room temperature after cleaning it with
water. Only put it back in place (Chapter
5.2, "Fitting the filter") when it is complete-
ly dry.
8. Also check the empty dust container. If
necessary, wipe it clean with a slightly
damp cloth.
ATTENTION:
Do not use hard brushes, cleaning or scour-
ing agents or alcohol, as these might dam-
age the appliance's housing.
