A Replacement filter pack
Filter type PowerProtect
("For high suction power"/"for top performance and
excellent cleaning quality")
Contents:
- 4 dust bags with fasteners
- 1 micro-hygiene filter
We therefore recommend that you only use our origi-
nal dust bags.
Your appliance is a highly efficient vacuum cleaner
that achieves excellent cleaning results when used
with high-quality dust bags.
Only by using high-quality dust bags (such as Sie-
mens original dust bags) can you ensure that your
vacuum cleaner is working at the energy efficiency
class, dust pick-up rate and dust retention capacity
listed on its EU energy label.
The use of inferior-quality dust bags (e.g. paper
bags) can have a negative effect on the service life
and performance of your appliance.
Using unsuitable or inferior-quality dust bags can
also damage your vacuum cleaner. Such damage is
not covered by our guarantee.
