Depending on the vacuumed dust quantity and if the pointer
of the vacuum gauge switches from the green zone (3, Fig. 9)
to the red zone (2, Fig. 9), turn the vacuum cleaner off and
shake the main filter using the knob (1, Fig. 10).
WARNING!
Stop the vacuum cleaner before shaking the filter.
Do not shake the filter while the vacuum cleaner is on,
as this could damage the filter itself.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the vacuum cleaner, to
