Replacing the dustbag
Always unplug the appliance before replacing the dustbag.

Replace the dustbag as soon as the dustbag-full indicator has changed colour permanently, i.e.
even when the nozzle is not placed on the floor (fig. 18).
1 Open the cover by pulling it upwards (fig. 19).
2 Lift the dustbag holder out of the appliance (fig. 20).
Make sure you hold the dustbag upright when lifting it out of the appliance.
3 Remove the full dustbag from the holder by pulling at the cardboard tag (fig. 21).
When you do this, the dustbag will be sealed automatically.
4 Slide the cardboard front of the new dustbag into the two grooves of the dustbag holder as
far as possible (fig. 22).
5 Re-insert the dustbag holder into the vacuum cleaner.
You cannot close the cover if no dustbag has been inserted.
Reusable dustbag
If provided, you can use the reusable dustbag instead of paper dustbags.The reusable dustbag can be
used and emptied repeatedly.

To empty the reusable dustbag:
1 Remove the clip by sliding it off the dustbag sideways.
2 Shake out the contents into a dustbin.
3 Close the dustbag by sliding the clip back onto the bottom edge of the dustbag.

ridge at the bottom to ensure that it fits properly at the top and press the filter holder home
('click') (fig. 24).
