Caution!

Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear,
depending on the type of hard floors you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check
the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals.
Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges
that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet
or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools.

Changing the filter

Replacing the dust bag

Figure 15*

If the dust bag change indicator is completely yellow
when the floor tool is lifted from the floor and the highest
suction power is selected, the dust bag must be
changed, even though it may not yet be full. In this case
it is essential to change the dust bag due to the type of
material it contains.
The nozzle, suction pipe and flexible tube must not be
blocked, as this would also lead to dust bag change
indicator being triggered.

particles (such as plaster or cement), clean the motor
protection filter and, if necessary, replace the microfilter.

Cleaning the motor protection filter

The motor protection filter should be cleaned regularly by
