Cleaning the fine dust filter

The fine dust filter is equipped with a
self-cleaning function. When a specified
degree of soiling is reached, the vac-
uum cleaner switches off automatically
for approx. 20 seconds and carries out
a cleaning process. You will hear this
process running.
The ComfortClean button on the vac-
uum cleaner lights up yellow.
Starting the ComfortClean self-clean-
ing function manually (Fig. 26)
If a large amount of dust has been vac-
uumed at once, the ComfortClean self-
cleaning function should be started
manually either during a vacuuming
pause or immediately afterward. This
enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve
the very best cleaning performance
again right away.
 With the vacuum cleaner switched
on, press the ComfortClean button
for at least two seconds.
The vacuum cleaner is switched off au-
tomatically for approx. 20 seconds and
a cleaning process is carried out which
results in operational noise.
The ComfortClean button on the vac-
uum cleaner lights up yellow.
The vacuum cleaner will then switch
back on automatically and will operate
with the previously selected setting.

We also recommend emptying and
cleaning the fine dust container once or
twice a year (see "Fault resolution -
Cleaning the fine dust filter manually").
When to change the thread catchers?
(only possible for models with a re-
versible floorhead included as standard)
The thread catchers on the suction inlet

placed. Check them from time to time
and replace them if the pile has worn
down.
