Cleaning the sponge filter
The sponge filter and the sponge cover should be cleaned regularly. Cleaning is best done when emptying the
dust container. To do this follow the instructions in the Emptying dust container section.
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the plug from the mains. To do this always pull on the plug
and not on the cable.
2. You can pull the dust container together with the cyclone cleaning system out of their anchoring with the
aid of the carrier handle on the dust container. Take hold of the carrier handle on the dust container and
pull it upwards.
3. Turn the sponge cover over and take out the sponge filter
4. Now rinse the sponge filter under running water and allow it to dry.
5. Place the sponge filter back in the sponge cover (or replace with a new one) and fit it into the dust
container.until it snaps into place. Your cyclone vacuum cleaner is now ready for use again.

air filter as follows:

the mains. To do this always pull on the plug and not on the cable.
2. Open the exhaust air grill (this is at the rear of the cyclone vacuum cleaner.)
3. The exhaust air filter is visible when the grill has been opened.
4. Rinse the filter under cold running water and allow dry.
