Cleaning the main filter

For dust class "M" and "H", it is necessary to close the
suction inlet with a plug during transport or filter
shacking.
The filter clogging light (warning light) "1" is installed on
the front part of the vacuum cleaner (see Fig. 3) and it
turns on when the vacuum inside the vacuum cleaner
is too high. This means that the filter is clogged and that
the filtering capacity is reduced. In this case, it will be
necessary to clean the main filter.
Turn off the vacuum cleaner by pushing the green
ON/OFF switches (2 or 3, depending on the model in
use) (Fig. 3).
Repeatedly press the filter shaker handle "2" in order to
shake off the dust from the filter.
Wait for a few minutes, to allow the dust to deposit at
the bottom of the container. Then empty the container
as described in the paragraph 8.3.
NOTE
If the filter clogging indicator "1" (Fig. 3) stays
on, the suction hose or an accessory is
clogged.
In this case, clean the clogged components.
8.3 Emptying the dust container (Fig.
