Replacing the dust bag

‡
If the dust bag change indicator lights up conti-
nuously when the nozzle is lifted from the floor and
the highest power setting has been selected, the
dust bag must be changed, even though it may not
yet be full. In this case, it needs to be changed due
to the type of dust which has been vacuumed.
‡
The nozzle, suction pipe and flexible hose must not
be blocked, even if this does not trigger the dust bag
change indicator.

Cleaning the (H)EPA* exhaust filter
The (H)EPA* filter is designed so that it does not need
to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as inten-
ded in the household.
To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op-
timum power level, the (H)EPA* filter should be rinsed
out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re-
mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco-
loured.
