Other Useful Information (Cont.)

ATTENTION!

•  Only use the vacuum cleaner with all filters intact, in dry condition and 

correctly installed. 

•  Replacement filters are available from our after sales support centre. Contact 

us on the number listed at the bottom of this page.

•  Make sure that the openings of the vacuum cleaner are not clogged or 

obstructed. Otherwise the vacuum cleaner might get damaged.

•   

WARNING: 

Make sure the appliance is unplugged 

from the power supply.

•  Open the dust bag compartment and take out the 

dust bag (see page 13).  

•  Remove the filter holder with the motor protection 

filter (Fig. 18). First flip the filter holder forwards and 
then pull the filter up and out.

•  Remove the motor protection filter from the filter 

holder and shake or beat out the dust over a dustbin, 
if it is only slightly dirty. Replace it if necessary.

•  Clean the filter holder.
•  If the new motor protection filter is too large, lay the 

old filter onto the new filter mat. Mark the contours and cut the new filter down 
to size with a pair of scissors.

•  Insert the new motor protection filter into the filter holder.
•  Insert the filter holder with the new (or cleaned) filter into its bracket from 

above and push it down until it audibly locks into place.

•  Replace the dust bag and push the dust compartment cover close until it 

clicks securely into place.

Filter maintenance

This vacuum cleaner features a three part filtration system for optimum dust 
removal. The 

motor protection filter

 is located in the dust compartment, the 

HEPA filter

 and the 

exhaust filter

 are located in the HEPA filter compartment. 

Cleaning and changing the motor protection filter

The motor protection filter (Fig. 18) prevents larger particles from destroying the 
motor in case the dust bag is defective. Clean this filter whenever you change 
the dust bag; replace the filter at least every six months, or whenever you open  
a new box of dust bags, as they usually contain a new motor protection filter.
