How to use the telescopic tube
21 Extend or shorten the telescopic tube by
pushing the release button towards the
nozzle and simultaneously adjusting the
length of the telescopic tube. There is a
catch at both ends of the telescopic tube.
Certain models only have one release
button.
Emptying the dust container
Electrolux Twinclean's dust container must be
emptied when it is full to the Max sign. The dust
container must never be overfilled.
22 Press the release button at the rear of
vacuum cleaner.
23 Lift the dust container out.
24 Empty it over a wastepaper basket by
pressing the release button. Put the dust
container back and press the rear part of
the container until it clicks into place.
Cleaning the dust filter
Electrolux Twinclean has a dust filter that should
be cleaned now and then to secure a constant
high suction. When it is time to clean the filter,
the filter light on the vacuum cleaner will flash.
The filter is cleaned while in the vacuum cleaner.
25 Turn off the vacuum cleaner when the filter
light flashes.
26 Open the cover by lifting the release catch.
27 Lift up the filter holder and turn it a half
turn so that the filters change places with
each other and put the filters back into the
vacuum cleaner.
28 Turn the left filter a full turn in the direction
of the arrow. The filter light begins to flash
and the vacuum cleaner starts, and as you
turn, the filter is cleaned. After you have
made a full turn, the vacuum cleaner turns
off and the filter light stops flashing. You
can now close the cover.
About once each year, when the filter light
begins to flash more frequently, the filters need
to be washed.

container (29) by pressing the marked
