Clean the motor protection filter upon every filter bag
change, but at least every 3 months.
Change the motor protection filter every time you open
a new dust filter bag package as it always contains a
new motor protection filter. However, change the motor
protection filter at least every 6 months.
1. Switch off the appliance and remove the dust filter bag
as described under ,
filter bag', steps 1–6.
2. Unlatch the filter holder and hinge it down (Fig. 30).
3. Take the filter holder with the motor protection filter out
of the appliance (Fig. 31).
4. Hold the filter holder with the motor protection filter over
a dustbin.
5. Now you can separate the filter elements from one an-
other (Fig. 32) and tap them from all sides to remove all
dust.
6. If such dry cleaning is insufficient, thoroughly rinse the
filter by hand in running clear cold or hand-warm water.
ATTENTION:
The filter is washable, but it may not be cleaned in dish-
washers or washing machines. Also, do not use deter-
gents or brushes with hard bristles to clean them. Let the
filter dry for approx 24 hours at room temperature after
washing it. Only put it back in place when it is completely
dry.
7. If the filter is damaged or deformed, replace it with a new
one ( Chapter 5.2, 'Accessories and Spare Parts').
8. Put the new/cleaned and completely dry filter back into
its holder (Fig. 32). Ensure that the filter is behind the 4
square noses of the filter holder.
9. Now put the filter holder with the freshly fitted filter back
into the appliance. Ensure that the two round noses at
the bottom of the filter holder engage into the angles
provided for this purpose at the bottom of the appliance.
10. Put the filter holder back on (Fig. 33). You will feel and
hear it snap into place.
11. Proceed as described in
dust filter bag' steps 8 12.
